Shear Perfection
Sick of leaving the salon less-than-thrilled about your hairstyle?
These tips will help.
1. Sit up straight. Don't cross your legs when you sit in
the stylist's chair -- it skews your posture, so your cut could
be uneven once you stand up. Instead, sit up in the chair, legs
uncrossed.
2. Collect pictures.
The biggest hair
disasters arise when your stylist doesn't understand what you
want. Pictures will help convey your message.
3. But be realistic.
You may love a cut
on a magazine model, but if your hair is not the same texture
or your face is not the same shape as hers, the cut won't look
the same on you. Ask your stylist for variations appropriate
to you.
4. Soften a square jawline
with layers. Keep
them long and choppy around the lower half of your face.
5. Use your hands. Instead of asking for an inch off the
ends, use your hands to show your stylist where you'd like your
hair to fall.
6. Color after you cut.
Your haircut will
affect the look of your color, so wait until you've trimmed to
add highlights or try a new shade.
