Are there any online resources for finding a decent hair stylist in your area?

I would love to find a good hair stylist in my area but there seems like there are 1000's! It would be nice to find a message board where people could comment on their experiences at local salons.Are there any online resources for finding a decent hair stylist in your area?
I'm not sure of any, but ULTA and Toni Guy have nationwide salons and offer great results.Are there any online resources for finding a decent hair stylist in your area?
Go to invisionfree.com and look through some of the forums on hair or makeup. Also, magazines like Lucky sometimes talk about the best salons in your area.

That would be a great idea, having a message board and comments, but you have to remember that it's only someone's opion. I might think that I'm the greatest stylist, which I do think I am, but someone eles might think not. Also, I might give you a great cut today, see you in 4 weeks, and might be having a off day that day. It happens.
You can try going to different chain salon websites and seeing what kind of feedback they have. But it is just an opinion. Best bet is to call different salons and if you have the time set up a consultation with a stylist, that way you can see what kind of environment the salon has, what products they use, price ranges and if you click with the stylist, that way you just don't go into a salon as a walk in and get someone who is going to just do what they want.

How much to tip a hair stylist for a haircut?

how much do you tip a hairstylist who works out of their home, not at a salon?How much to tip a hair stylist for a haircut?
I would tip them 1-5 dollars... whatever is comfartable with youHow much to tip a hair stylist for a haircut?
i probably wouldnt. she's making up the prices. although she might have expenses, she doesnt have overhead. they dont pay rent on a building, they dont have to pay employees, extra insurance. it's mostly profit anyway.
The same as what you tip someone at the salon, or more if you personally know them.
i usually leave a five dollar tip, even if the people are out of there home they're still doing the same thing.

How to ask a hair stylist?

Ok so i really want my hair like brookelle bones but how will i be able to describe it to a hair stylist? Or is it just better to bring a picture?How to ask a hair stylist?
I would describe it as 'scene' hair, extremely layered, choppy and teased. I would suggest bringing a picture though, so she knows exactly how you would like your hair to be.How to ask a hair stylist?
her hair is fantastic, yo (:


hehe.


okay, well, i think you should bring in a picture.


BUT, you can tell her you want MAJOR layers all through your hair, starting from the crown of your head.


(where your ears are)





PS to the girl that answered before me:


saying you want ';scene'; hair wont work with everyone, because not everyone knows what that means!
I just want to say that I love her hair! Okay, sorry about that. When I got my haircut, I wanted it in a bob like Selena Gomez, so I brought in a picture and that totally gave her an idea. So I think that's work :)
Yeah her hair is gorgeous, just bring in a picture, for a discription:


- Scene style


- Choppy layers


- Teased

Hair stylist not highlighting hair to the roots?

I have been using foil highlights on my hair for 9 years. I recently moved and for the past 6 months my hair stylist has left at least 1/2 inch to almost an inch of my roots showing when I come in for foil highlights. Often times I feel like I need to be touched up the day after. I do not understand why she would do this considering I have never had this problem with other stylists. Also, I have noticed more of a visible line and it looks so tacky. I have been going in every 4-5 weeks and by then my hair looks horrible. In the past, I could wait at least 7 to 8 weeks. I want to believe that there is some reason out there for this, but I am afraid she is doing this so that I will come in more frequently. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.Hair stylist not highlighting hair to the roots?
Well the reason for the lack of highlighting to the scalp may just be that she is not comfortable highlighting and thinks she may bleed onto your scalp ( when you get too close and make straight lines). The visible line could be from her taking too thick of a section or a straight ( called slicing) section instead of weaving a fine section. Or from her not blending to color up instead applying to thick where she starts. Have you told her your concerns? If you have and she has not been able to fix them, move on to a new stylist. We all want people to be happy with their hair and you want to be happy as well. So sometimes it is best if clients make sure to find their match. I hope this helped you some. I have been doing hair for 7 years.Hair stylist not highlighting hair to the roots?
Im a hairdresser and the only reason she is doing this, is because she doesnt know how to foil hair..You have to go to the root, and she is probably afraid her bleach is going to spill out..When doing foils, you cant load up on bleach because when it goes under the dyer it expands and will cause leakage and cause unwanted blotches..Consistency in mixing is the key, and application without loads of product..Make sure, the next time to find someone who is experienced, and goes to the root..Retouches if done right, need to be retouched about every 6 to 8 weeks...The foils should look neatly folded, and flat when all done..If its bunched up, then the stylists, hasnt had much experience...Go to someone who has, and dont waste your money, on the person who is doing your hair now.
She is probably concerned about something called ';bleed through';. Chemicals like what she is using on your hair to lighten it, swell when they warm up. The closer they get to your scalp, the warmer they get and more swelling can occur. Some of the more inexperienced stylists will end up giving their clients ';leopard spots'; on their hair if the lightening product swells and bleeds through the top of the foil, touching the rest of the hair.





You said that you moved...are you making the drive to the same stylist you had before you moved? If so, I have no explanation as to why she's doing this. If you changed stylists, I would guess you just happened upon someone who is less experienced and concerned about bleed through. It may be time to shop around for a new stylist.

    You don't need to go to college to become a hairstylist. You attend a cosmetology school. Look in the Yellow Pages to find one in your area.

    I heard from 2 different hair stylist. that hair styles never really go out style?

    is that true? What do you think they meant by that. and how come we(some) ppl know hairstyle go out of style.I heard from 2 different hair stylist. that hair styles never really go out style?
    well as long as u can pull off the hairstyle and make it look good, then its not out of style. If u can make it stylish then its still ';IN';. As long as u like it and it looks good then thts all tht matters.


    Good luck and hope i helped =]

    Why does my hair stylist enjoy making me look pretty yet talk about me behind my back?

    ?Why does my hair stylist enjoy making me look pretty yet talk about me behind my back?
    because she's a b*tch that enjoys her job. i guess giving you pretty hair doesn't stop her from having things to say about you, so why ruin your hair when you'll pay her to do what she enjoys as she talks sh*t about you?Why does my hair stylist enjoy making me look pretty yet talk about me behind my back?
    Could be a number of reasons...


    she could be really shallow, with a genuine ';disloyalty'; factor in her personality.


    She is definitely unprofessional.


    She could be jealous of you.


    She may be giving you discounts to make herself feel better about the way she back stabs you.


    I'd find a new hairdresser.


    I refuse to do business with people like that.
    If you like the work and the price, who cares if they talk about you?





    Obviously you don't care enough, or you'd stop going to her haha =o)
    Because hair is his job and gossiping is his personality
    He gets paid to make you look good.





    Reminds me of a joke:





    A breeder of dogs crossed pit bulls with poodles.


    They are terrible guard dogs


    But vicious gossips
    because theyre paid to make your hair look good... they enjoy the money, not you








    EDIT: she gives you discounts so you keep coming back and keep paying them
    Go somewhere else.
    Your hair stylist is a women right?

    What percentage should you tip a hair stylist?

    A minimum of 15% - because that's the minimum they have to report on their taxes. 20% if they do a superb job and you're really happy with them.What percentage should you tip a hair stylist?
    it depends on the work done... but 20% is the usualWhat percentage should you tip a hair stylist?
    No matter what I get done to my hair I tip 5 to 10 dollars. My services usually don't go over 60 dollars.
    depends how good they did on your hair
    15% and nothing if they butchered your hair.
    Same percentage as any other service (lowest being 10%). The better the job, the higher the percentage.
    Depends on how much money you spent.





    20% for a little





    15% for a lot





    10% for a helluva lot
    i say it depends on how good they made ur hair look...start with 15% and move down to 10% to finally running away after u pay!

    Could any hair stylist out there tell me if bangs really can make a person look younger?

    I turned 40 this past July, I am thinking of getting bangs again with the hopes it may give me a younger appreanace! Right now my hair is cut into long layers and is halfway down my back. I take the decision very serious as I know once it is cut bangs take quit a while to grow back. I am just looking for some proffessional experience out there for there opion. Thank you so much for your time!Could any hair stylist out there tell me if bangs really can make a person look younger?
    Sorry I'm not a hairsylist. But I know alot, so I'll try to help. I have a roundish face, and I got straight accross bangs, and they made me look young. [considering I'm still in my teens, not such a good thing] But at your age, they may be good on you. My favorite bangs are long [cheek-length] sideswept. They are pretty on just about everyone! You could also just try hair generators to get an idea of how they may look. Try,

    definitely-especiallly if you have wrinkles on your forehead. even a side bang-which is more ';in'; for the younger crowds right now. i would go with a side bang-that way you wont look like a little kid-and you can have them or swipe them to the side.

    Does it really work if i give a picture to a hair stylist?

    Will she give me that hairstyle by knowing it or just by looking at the picture the whole way through?Does it really work if i give a picture to a hair stylist?
    I've done this many, many times. Almost everytime I get my hair cut I bring a photo.





    Always keep in mind that it will depend on the person cutting your hair. They have to understand you. If you're looking for something trendy and hip, it's probably safe to say that you should stay away from the hairstylists who have 80s hair styles themselves...you get what I'm saying?





    If you go and just explain it to them, they just have your words to go off of. But if you explain it to them AND you have a photo, it may make more sense to your hairstylist what you're going for.





    For the most part, you are always right, but also don't expect your hairstylist to be a miracle worker. For example if you have coarse hair that is thick, you can't expect her to make your hair cut look EXACTLY like Reese Witherspoon's hair which is very fine and straight. Keep in mind that how YOU style your hair will make the difference as well.





    But overall, yes, you can bring a photo into a hairstylist that you trust and are comfortable with and it should help them to gather what you want.Does it really work if i give a picture to a hair stylist?
    depends on who does your hair
    well i gave a picture multiple times to my stylist and she got it perfect everytime while making it personalized.


    can you answer my question since i answered yours?


    http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index;鈥?/a>
    if shes good she will know exactly what to do!!
    yes.... they're professionals! That's a lot of what they learn in cosmetology school. Think.... they get a whole living off of this... they won't screw it up. they really just have to study it a little at the beginnning, then they can easily picture it on you like there's a dotted line telling them where to go.
    Pictures are our worst nightmare. Your hair may be too curly, too straight, too thick or thick. an assortment of pictures are much better. Then a stylist can choose what will work or modify two pictures together. Make sure you both agree on the style before you begin. Oh, and find someone good and that usually means someone who is not the cheapest yet not the most expensive. When you get into top priced work it is usually due to location and not the actual work. Same goes for chain salons. They will hire someone straight out of school and out of seasoned stylists as well! Good luck!
    if she is a good hair stylist then she should be able to tell how it was done by looking at the picture, if not, find a new hair stylist %26gt;.%26lt;
    if u give a picture to the hairstylist, it will give them a better idea of what you want. It won't be exact from the picture, but it will be close.

    I wanted to know which is the best salon or hair stylist to go to for a hair cut in the D.C area ?

    RIdiculously straight and fine hair not to mention I'm losing handfuls from washing it with hard water.I wanted to know which is the best salon or hair stylist to go to for a hair cut in the D.C area ?
    I used to go to a lovely salon very near the intersection of Pennsylvania Avenue and 2nd St., SE. (Near the Capitol South Metro station, on the south side of the street, next to the burrito place).





    There are two in the area, but the better one (and less expensive) is on the street level. Seems like I used to get shampoo, cut, blow dry for between thirty and forty bucks three years ago.I wanted to know which is the best salon or hair stylist to go to for a hair cut in the D.C area ?
    Try looking online and see what salons carry top of the line products. Matrix, Bed Head, Paul Mitchell, Redken, etc. Then make an appointment for a consultation. Ask if they charge. It doesn't mean they are any better if they charge. Also, ask for a stylist who is good with your type of hair. Most are good with any type, but sometimes if they have the same type of hair and you like their hair, chances are they will do good on your hair. See if you like the person and if not then keep looking. Do this well before you need a cut. It may take you awhile to find someone.

    How much does a hair stylist charge for a photoshoot?

    I will be teaming up with other makeup and hairstylist for a photoshoot and they wanted to know how much i charge..I actually do a lot of freelancing. So, i don;t know how much it usually runs..can someone let me know? So, i won't be undercharging or overcharging....thanks!How much does a hair stylist charge for a photoshoot?
    It will probably be an hourly rate. On average, a great hairdresser can make $200 or more per hour. So, this is a pretty good starting point.





    Check Craigslist.org, sometimes they are listed for hire, there. You could use these listings for make up artists and hairdressers as a guideline.How much does a hair stylist charge for a photoshoot?
    most stylists charge per look not for a shoot. but look at their prices for weddings, it should be somewhat similar....
    It varies from person to person, depending on how much in-demand the hairdresser is, what city the shoot is in (it will be more expensive in cities like L.A. or N.Y.) If the shoot is for celebrities, you will charge a bit more. But, honestly, if it will be an entire day, you need to replace the income you would have had on a full day. The same would be true for a half-day, if you will be returning to work.
