Want To Change Cut & Add Color?

Karen or anyone that might help, I am a 24 year old guy and I want to cut my hair from shoulder length to the shorter spikey look. I also want to change the color. What should I do first? Is it better to cut first, color first? Do I need to go to a different person for each thing?

Thanks. I really like this site and have gotten a lot of great info about my hair.

You have to cut your hair first, because if you colour it when it's long and then cut it short, you will end up with dots on the shorter parts of your hair. Whereas if you have it cut and then add colour, dotted colour can be avoided.

Also it maked more sense to go to the same salon for both, it's simply easier. Plus if you go to a reputabl;e chain, your likely to save money. They will probably give you some sort of 'cut and colour' discount. And let me know how it turns out.
