I am finally going to a French hairdresser to get my tresses cut. Skyblue I will be using the phrases you gave me( all totally appropriate) as my daughter and two sons are coming to have theirs cut too. Are we doing the right thing, yes, of course we are. Wish us luck!!

We did it! I don't know why I panicked so much. Okay so we didn't really understand what each of us was saying, but I now feel totally glam with my new cut. 4 inches shorter, my daughter had 8 inches taken off and the boys have been scalped, but we look good. Thank you for all your wonderful advice!!

Depends what kind of hair cut you want for yourself and the kids. The hairdresser may speak some English; and they won't mind sign language, I hope :-)
Now, here are a few phrases below that may help:
(I assume you don't need phonetic transcription).
Bonjour, je voudrais une coupe pour moi et les enfants.

Just trim the hair, please.
Juste rafraîchir la coupe, s'il vous plaît.
Short: court
Not too short : pas trop court
Ears: oreilles
Shorter: plus court
Long: long (that one is easy :-) brushing, shampoo are the same too.
A fringe: une frange
Square: Carré
What do you suggest: qu'est-ce que vous pensez?
Show me a picture: montrez-moi une photo.
Conditioner: traitement.
Too hot: trop chaud
Too cold: trop froid
Blonde: blond
Red: roux
Brunette: brune
Mêches: highlights
Straight: raide, lisse
Curly: bouclé
Well here you go, email me if you need to prepare a short speech to describe what you want exactly.
Good luck !
