Finding a good stylist is crucial.

Finding a good stylist is crucial. It’s important to find someone who is an expert in the colour you want, and your local hair salon may not have that person. Ask for recommendations from friends or family, or read reviews online. You can also ask people you know if they have had a similar experience with the same stylist; they’ll be able to tell you if they liked their cut and colour, and whether or not their hair felt healthy afterward.

If there aren’t any recommendations available, consider asking around on social media: many beauty bloggers post about their experiences at different salons so that others can weigh in on them as well!

Find out if the stylist has photographed their work before

You’re going to want to make sure the stylist you choose has photographed their work before. This is important because it shows off their skills in a way that text or video cannot. Photos can be used for social media and websites, so showing them off during the interview process will help you determine if they’re right for your business.

Bring inspo photos

Bring inspiration. You’ll want to bring in a photo of the look you want, so your stylist can see what you’re going for. However, it is important to bring more than one picture. This will show them that you have a range of taste and don’t just want one specific look. You might find inspiration from many places, not just Instagram! Make sure they are not photos of celebrities – these often require heavy editing by makeup artists and famous photographers who know how to make people look beautiful on camera.

Don’t be afraid to go dark.

If you want to go dark, it’s important to realize that it’s not a quick fix. You’ll need to commit to having dark hair and make sure that your stylist knows what they’re doing. It will take some time to get the colour right and maintain it properly, so don’t be afraid of going this route!

Because going from platinum blonde to red requires sitting under the sun for hours on end (in order for your hair colourist or stylist not only has access but also knows what they’re doing), it can be very damaging if done incorrectly or without proper care afterwards. If you decide that this is something you’re interested in trying out, make sure that before committing fully; ask around about which products are best suited for your hair type and how often they should be used – there are many different types of products available so finding something suitable will depend largely on personal preference rather than any specific brand name (although some brands may work better than others).

Make sure you get your hair cut and coloured on different occasions

When you’re thinking about a colour change, it’s important to note that sometimes the process can be much longer than the actual haircut. This is why you should separate the appointment for your hair colour from the appointment for your haircut.

It takes a lot longer for coloured hair to grow out than it does for uncoloured hair, so it’s best to plan ahead by making sure you get both done on different occasions. You could also try doing some research beforehand and finding out how long each maintenance stage typically lasts.

Hair colour can get expensive if done by professionals at salons or salons-in-a-box (like L’Oreal), but most people who use home kits also use professional products like Olaplex which help repair damaged hair while they’re dying it with their kits at home because this will make them less likely to end up with split ends later on down the road when they want to dye again after having had their cut done professionally first time around!

Bring your own products for aftercare

When you go to a salon, the stylist will often recommend products they want you to use. It’s important that you bring your own products so that you don’t end up with something different from what you wanted.

I used this one conditioner by Olaplex Hair Perfector (the purple one). It’s great for maintaining blonde hair and keeping it strong and healthy! I have dry hair naturally so I like to use oils on my hair too especially when going for a new colour or style as this helps keep my locks hydrated.

A tip: if your roots are still dark after bleaching them but not enough for what colour you want then try using an ash tone dye overtop after bleaching – this will help lighten them further without washing them out completely!

Cutting and colouring are two different jobs so don’t try to combine them in one appointment.

As you can imagine, cutting and colouring require different tools, techniques and skills. For example, if you have long hair that is coloured with a blunt cut, the colourist will need to do more blending to ensure that all of your hair is blended together seamlessly. This takes time! Meanwhile, your stylist has their hands full dealing with the amount of length in your hair and won’t be able to focus on colour until they’re done.

This means that if you try to combine appointments for both services in one day (as many people do), there will be an inevitable delay between appointments resulting in a longer salon visit than originally planned—and possibly more expense.
