I'm about to move to a new city, for the umpteenth time in the past 15 years. That means I have to find a hairdresser. I'm dreading it because I can never explain how to cut my bangs. I have one hairdresser in my hometown who I LOVE, and she always gets it right, but nobody else seems to cut bangs the same way. I need them long and maybe kind of sideswept...more like rock-chick bangs...and you would not believe the nightmarish bangs I've gotten! I get short little old-lady bangs, short little schoolgirl bangs, or these weird wispy things that are just ugly....I think I am just bad at explaining what I want....Help! How can I figure out if a hairdresser and I are on the same wavelength, vis-a-vis the bang cut? How can I improve my communication with strange new hairdressers? It seems to me so self-evident how I should look. It's always so jarring and upsetting to get a haircut that strikes me as someone else's unflattering idea of how I should look. What should I do?

i think i know exactly what youre talking about, ask for a
long side sweeping fringe. <- those exact words.
if they dont know what that means then you are at the wrong place. every stylist should know what that is. and if you can, bring a picture of the style you want.

Dont let the first person you go to go hog wild on your hair!!! build trust first with small trims! Id say if your that protective on your fringe dont let them cut it!!! I do have to say I shake my head in wonder about some stylists!!! and their lack of knowledge. but remember Communication is the key!!! When you call for your appt, and go somewhaere that uses appt's not a quick walk in place, thats what they are is quick, wich sometimes fine but not for your situcation. but tell the person on the phone your new and feel youmay need some extra consultation time! Good luck!!!!

get a photo taken with your fav bang look and show it to the new hairdresser?
