Finding the right hairdresser is often like playing the lottery. You have to buy tickets and wait for it to arrive in style. When considering a hairdresser, unfortunately sometimes you have to visit quite a few to find the one that understands you perfectly. It takes time to find the right one and when you do, you never want to let it go. The ‘taking the time’ part of finding the right barber can be frustrating. However, one discovers, once they meet the right hairdressers in Salford, that the frustration was worth it. Here are some tips on what you can and probably shouldn’t do when searching for your perfect barber.

• Reservation of your appointment. When you book your first appointment with Salford hairdressers, choose a time when they are not busy in the salon. Doing so allows the barber to give you additional attention and provides an opportunity to consult with you about your hair style and possible changes. Showing up at a time when the salon is busy will not allow a hairdresser to provide a comprehensive consultation that they would otherwise receive when the salon is not busy.

• Take pictures with you. Instead of going to a salon and trying to describe that perfect cut you saw in a magazine, take the picture with you. This allows you to effectively communicate to the Salford hairdresser exactly what he has in mind for his own haircut. Plus, it takes the guesswork out of the terms “just a cut” and “a little lighter” when talking about cut and color. Visiting the salon without a photo leaves too much open to interpretation. Doing so can leave you unsatisfied with the service and leave the barber unsatisfied with their own work.

• Discuss your daily routine and the style of clothing you wear most of the time. If you’re a busy mom, ask your hairdresser which cut would best suit your busy daily routine. For example, it should keep a bit of length so you can tie it up instead of having to style it every day. Maybe you’re a professional and have to wear professional clothes most of the week. This could indicate a more personalized hairstyle for you.

A great Salford barber will listen to their client’s needs and then translate those needs into a haircut that you can be proud to wear. Go to the salon prepared and then sit back, relax and let the hairdresser pamper you.
