Hello Again,Just for fun and discussion and my own personal knowledge...What would make a (or any) Hairstylist perfect? What would they be like? What kind of things would you like to see or hear of stlylist doing? Whats most important to you as a customer? What would make you go back month after month and tell all your freinds? If It were a perfect world what would you want changed the most to make it perfect?Id love to here your feed back,Sincerley,Diane K.
Hi Diane,Good question.What would make a hairstylist as close to perfect as can be?One who would initiate an appointment by sitting down with you andasking you what you want -- and then patiently listening. And wouldonly ask questions for clarification or for additional thoughts.One who would show you (by most accurate means possible) exactly theamount of hair to be removed from the ends -- before starting to cut.Measure seven times, cut once. They can always cut more but theycan't glue it back on (extensions don't count!).One who would treat your hair very gently and patiently, who wouldrealize that the client is a person with sensory perception in thescalp, and not a lifeless doll.One who could give accurate advice as to which specific haircareproducts would be likely to work with your individual hair type.Tough call, I know, but wouldn't it be nice?That's all I can think of at the moment. Hope this helps.Dave

DianeSomeone who is actually concerned about what YOU want done to your hair. A person who talks with you, asks questions; listens to your answers and offers constructive advice.They should be knowledgeable about hair in general as well as the products they are using and selling.Ultimately they should defer to your wishes. Unless they totally disagree - in which case they should, as nicely as possible, indicate that they can not help you.I really don't think that stylists under stand that what you say and how you look reflects directly on their livelyhood.Do3
I found one once about fifteen years ago in London and have never found one since. I now live in Los Angeles. He was Australian and left before I could get another haircut. He looked at my hair, felt it, looked at my face and gave me the greatest, sexiest haircut I have EVER had. My hair is thick, coarse and can look GREAT or AWFUL depending on the cut.So, in answer to your question. Someone with imagination, perception, intelligence and interest!
