Why I Love it When a Client Brings Me Hairstyle Pictures

 

Hairstyle Pictures are a Fabulous Tool for Both the Client and Stylist.

Clients that bring in hairstyle pictures to a salon appointment are different then clients who do not. The client who brings in hairstyle pictures wants a specific look and knows that the picture will help to make her vision my vision.

Find hairstyle pictures in magazines or online sources. Hairstyle pictures can be taken from a variety of sources like magazines, websites and ads. The pictures should show a close up of the hairstyle you like and should be clear. Before your next appointment, flip through a few hairstyle picture magazines or even the latest People magazine to find ideas you like.

It is a good idea to look for hairstyle pictures several days to several hours before your hair salon appointment. If you wait until you are at the hair salon to thumb through magazines looking for a hairstyle you like, you may not leave yourself enough time to find the hairstyle you really want. Also, if you find several hairstyle pictures you like you can bring all of them in to your hairdresser to explain what you like from each hairstyle so that your hairdresser can accommodate it.

So why do I like when my clients bring me hairstyle pictures? Well, for starters, it cuts my consultation time down, leaving more time for the actual haircut, hair coloring and styling. Hairstyle pictures help the client to explain what it is they want. For example, if a client asks for more ‘body’ in her hair it could mean a variety of things. To me more body means she wants texture or wave and I would suggest a perm perhaps. But to another hairdresser, more body might mean simply more volume at the top, and that hairdresser would cut shorter layers into the hair to achieve more ‘body’. See how something so simple can be misinterpreted? That is where hairstyle pictures come in.
