Every woman at some point in her life has had to switch beauticians, maybe because of a move, a lousy haircut, a bad eyebrow pluck. So we all know how hard it is to find that perfect match. Here are some signs that will let you know that you’ve found the right one!
1. You’re Comfortable

It doesn’t matter where the salon is or what it looks like, you have to be comfortable once you’re inside. If you can’t talk to the person that’s supposed to be making you more beautiful then they aren’t the person you should be going to. Comfort and communication are important for any successful relationship, including the one you have with your beautician.
2. They Understand

Sometimes you know exactly what you want but you just CAN’T put it into words. This is where the understanding comes in. If the person that’s fixing you all up can’t understand your wild hand gestures and barely-there descriptions then you’re going to have a problem. You don’t want to end up having to cope with a bad haircut.
3. Their Workspace is Clean

A workspace tells a whole lot about a person. If they’re messy and unorganized, so is their workspace. So next time you’re sitting in the chair, take a look around. If it’s clean, you’re in pretty good hands, and your beautician will care for you just as well as they care for the place where they work!


Great list of signs! The clean workspace one reminded me of those dirty salons on the show, Tabitha’s Salon Takeover! xo, mel

These are amazing tips!! My hairdresser quit & didn’t tell me where she moved to, so I had to go searching for a new one. I lucked out & found a new one who had every one of these tips down!

Hey Ula,
This is exactly why I have two hairdressers that I alternate between. So if one disappears, I can always count on the other. Now if we could only do the same thing with men :p

I once went into a salon that I’d been going to for a while, my usual stylist had actually switched to a different location, but the salon didn’t tell me. The woman I got stuck with was terrible! She had nice hair, it suited her, but she cut my hair all wrong. I wanted my bangs cut to come past my eyebrows, but she cut them 2 inches higher just because it was “so cute!” The next time I went to get my hair cut, it was at a completely different salon.

Hey JoMutt,
Sounds terrible! But thank God hair grows back! Kinda reminds me of the endless times I end up buying something jut because the chick at the store thinks it’s “so cute” and never wear it!
