Finding the right hairdresser and make-up artist isn’t easy. It’s like trying to find a best friend. You want someone who can make the best you happen, someone who’ll look at you and with one glance, be able to tell if long, straight hair or bouncy curls suit you the most or which lippy shade should be your go-to choice.
But with so many hair horror stories—you ask for a particular cut or look and end up with another—it’s hard not to be afraid every time you step into a new salon and put your hair and makeup in the hands of a complete stranger. Here are a few tips to help you find the right hair salon:
Get referrals
If you’re changing addresses or lost your hair stylist and make-up artist because they moved somewhere or retired, don’t despair. Ask them for a referral instead. If you’re lucky, they’ll have someone perfect in mind for you.
Ask around
Start asking around, says InStyle. Have a look or style you love on a family member or friend? Ask for a name. Word-of-mouth referrals often give you a good head start on your search.
Book an appointment
Go for a haircut or make-up session. These should be enough to give you a feel for what the hair salon is like and if it’s right up to your alley or not. Are you comfortable with them? If you want to find out what the rest of their services feel like, book spa day with friends and give all of it a try. That should help you decide if you’ve found your new glam go-to place or not.
