Getting professional haircuts can be a simple way to add luxury into your everyday life. No matter how skilled you are with your scissors, you aren’t likely to match the skills of a professional stylist. But you do have an important role to play even in haircuts that are professionally done—getting ready for your appointment.
Style Planning
If you’re going for something more than a simple trim, try to come to the salon with some ideas for haircuts you might want to try. There are a lot of options out there, but if you can narrow down the length and style you might want, your stylist can help you find the perfect variation to flatter your face shape and hair type.
Before your appointment, try to find two or three similar pictures of haircuts you like to give the stylist an idea of what you’re going for. This will help your stylist bring your hair dreams to reality.
Don’t be shy about your goals for haircuts! If you’re not sure about something, ask questions! Here at Salon Povera, we want you to love your hair every day. So always feel free to communicate with your stylist to find haircuts and styling options that perfectly suit you.
Hair Care Prep
A few days before your hair appointment, take some time out of your busy schedule to give your hair a little attention. Deep conditioning or oiling your hair helps your strands be in the healthiest possible state before haircuts. You should also plan to attend your appointments for haircuts with clean hair. If you’re getting other treatments done like hair coloring, a super squeaky-clean scalp isn’t always the best option.
Washing your hair one or two days before your appointment so you have a clean scalp, even while some natural oils present is a good compromise. Try to avoid heavy styling products before your appointment. Remember, your stylist needs to see how your hair usually acts before suggesting any style options.
