So I just read the sticky on finding a good hairdresser in the bloopers section.
It gives good advice on how to tell whether a hairstylist is good or not. But where to do you find the good stylists? Do you think it would be wise to go to an expensive hair solon if you want a new style, and to cheap salons for just trims? Or do you think it makes no difference, and a hairstylist at a cheap salon could be great, while one at an expensive salon could be horrible? ------------- http://talk.hairboutique.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=51616 - No 'Poo or Condish Experiment |

Doies no one have sn experience with getting a great style at a cheap salon, or a wackjob at and expensive one? Any input would be nice since I'm trying to figure out where to get my hair styled and I don't know any good stylists. Thanks. ------------- http://talk.hairboutique.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=51616 - No 'Poo or Condish Experiment |

You will find poor overpriced / expensive hairstylists and excellent inexpensive stylists. The person that currently cuts my hair is good and she is relatively inexpensive.
A couple of suggestions when looking for a new salon:
1. Find someone who's hair looks great and ask them where they go.
2. If you like or use a particular product, find a salon that carries your product and have a visit. You can check out the salon, maybe buy some gel (or whatever) if you need it and you can check out the salon. If you like the place, ask more questions and make an appointment.
3. Call a salon and tell them your new and are interested in prices for their services. If it's in your price range and they sound nice / professional, set up an appointment and don't be afraid to ask if the stylist is experienced.
4. Word of mouth is still the best advertising so ask around and people who are from the area will certainly know who to go to.

Thanks for the advice. I got my bangs cut yesterday and took your #3 advice - I checked out this salon, it was a bit expensive, asked about the girl who was going to cut my hair. she was supposed to be very experienced and is normally booked up. PLus she had cut her own layers very well. I took that as a good sign, and damn if it wasn't the best haircut I've ever gotten.  ------------- http://talk.hairboutique.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=51616 - No 'Poo or Condish Experiment |
