The relationship between a gal and her hair stylist is a sacred, treasured bond. You’re placing unwavering (most of the time) trust in someone with a pair of scissors and the ability to change your life — for better or for worse. Communication is key in this relationship, as things can go south…really<\/em> fast.<\/p>\n

Are you seeing someone new or want to spice things up? Let your hair stylist know what you really want with our list of things you absolutely should\u00a0discuss\u00a0the next time you’re in the hot seat.<\/p>\n

How Much You Actually<\/em> Want Chopped <\/strong>
\nA trim could mean a lot of things. You need to be upfront about how much length you want cut off. Whether it’s a significant amount or cleaning up the ends, make your instructions clear. You don’t\u00a0want to end up with hair much shorter than what you intended\u00a0or pay\u00a0a lot to only receive a slight\u00a0trim.<\/p>\n

Your History<\/strong>
\nIf this is a new hairdresser, tell all. From terrible dye jobs to a bang trimming disaster, let her know what you or your former hair stylist have put your hair through. If you’re visiting the same hairdresser, be honest about anything you’ve done or haven’t done to your hair since your last visit. It’ll make everyone’s time a lot more worthwhile and will\u00a0eliminate any guesswork.<\/p>\n

How Much You Are Willing to Pay<\/strong>
\nIf your hair stylist talks you into a treatment or a set of highlights that you weren’t planning on getting, make sure you know the cost before any styling takes place. Add-ons can really take a toll on your bill and could put you in an awkward position once it’s time to pay. If your stylist likes to take a “wing-it” approach with how much color you’re getting, set a price upfront.<\/p>\n

Your Daily Hair Routine<\/strong>
\nLet your stylist know that you air dry your hair everyday or wash it only once a week before any cut. He or she will be able to determine if a cut is the right fit for your lifestyle. They’ll be able to tell you if the\u00a0cut you want\u00a0is too high maintenance for your air-drying ways!<\/p>\n

Your Comfort Level<\/strong>
\nHonesty is always the best policy — let her know how comfortable you are in the chair. Whether you’re apprehensive about trying a new color or length, keep her in the loop and she’ll do her best to accommodate your wants. If you see too much hair on the ground, speak up. She’ll be able to fix it a lot easier mid-cut than to start\u00a0all over again.<\/p>\n
