A client-hairstylist relationship is a unique form of intimacy.

You enter the salon. You sit in a chair for hours and make small talk with a stranger. A stranger who wields sharp objects close to your face.

By the end of your hair appointment, your stylist is not just a stylist but also a healer, a therapist, a friend, and a soulmate. You know what we mean, they just…get you.

And more importantly, they get your hair.

Still looking for your hairstylist soulmate? Here are some tips for finding the best match:

1. Ask Around

Sometimes, the best way to find a good stylist is to ask around. If you see someone with a haircut or style you love, don’t hesitate to ask. As a hairstylist, we love referrals!

2. Find Your Products

Is there a certain shampoo or hair mask you can’t get enough of? Find a salon that carries your products and go from there. Not sure what your favorite products are? Ask your stylist at your next appointment, or ask a friend about their preferred hair care products.

3. Know Your Values

What are the things that matter most to you? Maybe it’s sustainability, maybe it’s inclusion. Find a salon that shares your values. Chances are, you’ll have a lot to chat about with the hairstylists at the salon, which will make your hair appointment all the more enjoyable.

4. Book A Consultation

Book a consultation with a stylist to go over your hair care routine and goals. A consultation is your chance to see if you feel the hairdresser understands what you want. It may seem like an extra step, but it will be worth it.

5. Say ‘I do!’

Now all that’s left is to take the leap and try that new cut or style with your new bestie!
