Today, there seems to be a salon on every corner and in every shopping center which doesn’t make selecting a stylist so easy breezy, but armed with the few tips listed below, finding your match will be a breeze.

1. Referrals. Ahhh!…my number one pick, hands down. You typically can’t go wrong with a referral, in most cases you get a birds eye view of the hairstylist work in question and an honest review of what to expect from the person who you referred you.  To be quite honest, stylist love referrals, it let’s us know were doing our job well and gives us a heads up on what your style is like.
2. Google, Social Media and Websites. What would we do without social media today. Social media has definitely made it easier to find most anything your looking forth ease including local hairstylist. Google, Facebook, Instagram and Pinterest to name a few are like your yellow pages on steroids. These platforms allow stylist to post their website, real life pictures and contact information. To make things even more convenient many stylist have adopted online booking for clients to schedule an appointment anytime day or night.
3. Follow the Product. If your one who loves a particular product or brand, you can most likely find a stylist that uses that particular line or product. I would recommend going to site of the brand/product and checking to see if they have a directory of stylist that use the line in your area.
4. Trial Run. Preferably after you have done your due diligence with your search, it wouldn’t hurt to  book a simple service and give it a trial run. Scheduling an appointment will at least get you in the building and allow you to really get a feel for the environment and what to expect from your perspective stylist. One way or another you’ll definitely know if you’ll be returning.
