There’s nothing worse than sitting in those delightfully spinny chairs at the hairdressers feeling ill at ease that you’re not going to like the end result.
While finding a qualified hairdresser that you like (opting for a ‘friend with scissors’ doesn’t exactly bode well) is a good start, it doesn’t always guarantee a happy ending. The secret? It all starts in that pre-cut consultation, something international stylist Kevin Murphy insists can never be skipped.
“It’s all about communication and making sure both the client and hairdresser are on the same page, especially with length and styling abilities,” he says. (WATCH: Mia Freedman knows a good haircut…check out her latest ‘sliding doors’ inspired chop. Post continues after video.)
In fact, ensuring that you never have a bad haircut again is as simple as being able to answer three easy questions during that initial chat.
1. How committed are you to styling your hair daily?
Complete honesty here, please.
“It helps when clients share with me how much time and effort they would like to spend styling their hair,” says Murphy.
