I'm going from very long to short hair! How can I be sure I'll get the right cut for me? It's a dramatic hairstyle change for me and I want to be sure I get the right haircut.
The key to getting a great haircut is proper communication between you and your hairstylist. Before you go into surgery, you get a diagnosis from your doctor. Likewise, before you get a haircut, you should have a consultation with your stylist, during which you discuss various aspects of your hair and lifestyle.
For example, how much time do you have to spend on your hair in the morning? Are you proficient with a blow-dryer, or do you prefer the natural route? What kinds of styling aids are you used to using? This is also the time to show your stylist any pictures you have of your desired style; she'll be able to assess how suitable they are for your hair and lifestyle and suggest alternatives if it's not the perfect cut for you.
