One tip is to try them but only for a blow-dry! You will gather a lot about how he or she handles hair in general and your hair in particular. You can discuss your hair as it is being worked on, and you can see if you feel comfortable with the stylist. If you have experienced poor hairdressers before, really take the time to visit lots of diverse hairdressers in different salons, and test each with a blow-dry. Spoil yourself!

Look for a hairdresser who is going to communicate with you. Ask heaps of questions. Skilled hairdressers will make recommendations. At the same moment they will listen to you and incorporate your requirements, taking into consideration your taste and how much time you want to expend each day doing your hair. Its all give and take, but do not fail to remember that communication works both ways. Make certain you are very clear if you do not like one of their ideas!

Take a number of photos from magazines. Do not expect miracles though. You may not have the same hair type as the model in a photo.

Choosing a stylist and a salon is all about what makes you feel comfortable. If you like trendy, fad styling, look for a hairdresserwho does that. If you like more classic, refined work, look for that. many hairdressers are very loving and nurturing and will make you feel pampered - but they are not necessarily the best for you!

One of the best ways to find the right hairdresser is to look for folks with your hair type and good looking hair. This is more often than not a good indicator that their stylist will know how to cut and style your hair too.

Look for reviews written in magazines about specific hairdressers and of course ask many folks you know who have good hair (especially if it is the same as your hair type).

An excellent stylist maybe a bit out of you fee range but they will often have junior staff taught just as well. If you love the chief stylist try their junior staff too.

One final thing, if your hairdresser does a crap job do not feel bad about changing. You may have a rapport with them but you shell out good money and should expect perfect hair!
