Getting your hair cut and styled is one of the best ways to relieve the stress of the day. A hairdresser can become your closest confidant and give you the best advice if you allow it. Many people don't know this, but there is proper etiquette that you should be using every time you go in for a hair appointment. Below is a list of the best ways to ensure you will make the best client for your hairdresser.

Take Their Advice

You may have seen a pixie cut in a magazine that looked amazing on the girl in the photograph, however, this does not necessarily mean that it will look good on you. There are many factors that go into how a cut will look. If your hair is too thick, too thin or your facial structure does not fit the cut, it probably won't look good on you. Heed your hairdresser's advice if they tell you to avoid certain cuts. They are trained and well educated in this line of business, so they know what they are talking about.

Show Up Early

You are not the only client that your hairdresser will be seeing that day. If you are late to your appointment, you have thrown them off of their schedule. Hairdressers don't get paid by the hour so if they have to push back or cancel appointments for you, they will be losing money. If they are losing money because you were late, you may not get the pleasant conversations that come with sitting in a styling chair and relaxing.

Don't Be Vague

Many times people have sat in the styling chair and told their hairdresser that they don't care how their hair is cut. Indecision is very frustrating. If you don't want to be bald or have neon colored hair, you do care about the outcome of the style. Be as specific as possible. Bring a picture to the appointment if you have to so that your hairdresser will have an example to go by.

Be Inviting

While talking isn't mandatory to getting your hair cut, it is a nice gesture to hold a conversation with your hairdresser. Hairdressers often become personal counselors, people to open up to for two hours and talk and rant to. Texting on your cell phone will only show your hairdresser that it's not an important appointment to you which will make them feel less valuable. Talk to your hairdresser. You don't have to get into specifics about your personal life if you don't wish to, but a conversation with them is always welcoming.

A hair cut can be so much more than just sitting in a styling chair while someone cuts your hair. The relationship that you have with your hairdresser is all based on proper etiquette during the appointment. By following the simple tips listed above you and your hairdresser will be able to get as much out of the appointment as possible.
