I cannot stress the importance of a good hair stylist. Afterall, who wants to end up with a brown hair color when wanting blonde or a hideous haircut or worse still with no hair! Fret not, it’s not that hard to figure out if your stylist is good or a complete dud. Here are my top ten signs to help you with just that…
10. You keep both ears

Okay, many of you are laughing about this one. And while, I’ve never experienced this myself (Phew!), I have known some girls that have had their ear accidentally snipped. Ouch! Sure, everyone makes a blunder once in a while but make sure that your hairstylist is being careful and has an accident free record.
9. Doesn’t drop scissors

A while back, I went to a stylist with a friend and I noticed how she kept dropping her stuff. She seemed lazy and worse still, non apologetic about her attitude. How is she going to give you a good haircut if she can’t even hold on to her scissors? Needless to say, I never went back again!
8. Doesn’t complain

A good stylist will not complain. They will enjoy their job. Yes, even if you want that tough haircut just like in a picture you give them or ask a thousand questions about the latest celebrity hair trends, they will be more than happy to be of service.
So true! I’m lucky my stylist scored perfectly. :)

I guess it might not need to be said, but one that keeps appointments!
I had a stylist that cut my hair the best it’s ever been cut and had a similar style, so would get really excited about new cuts and colors, but she was always flaking out on our appointments. Anytime I had my hair cut by someone else I was always disappointed, so I put up with it. BUT then she started flaking out on my 80 yr old grandma who takes an hour to get dressed and only goes out once a week to get her hair done and lunch with my mom and I. The stylist would take a walk in right before her appt. and make my grandmother wait like 20-30 minutes sometimes, then she started flat out canceling at the last minute.
I hated to do it because the girl could cut hair, but I found a new stylist. So now she’s out of 3 customers (me, my mom, and my g-ma) and a pretty good chunk of change if you add up all of our cuts a year. Just wish her manners were on par with her skills :(

Hey Jenni D,
No skill in the world can help you if you don’t have manners. I’m pretty sure she’s gonna lose more clients if she behaves like she has no regard for others’ time. Hopefully, she’ll learn her lesson sooner or later.
Thanks for stopping by!

Hey Ciara,
Congratulations!! I hate small talk so I’d be more than happy to have a hairdresser who didn’t talk much. Alas! :p
