IMPORTANT QUESTIONS YOU SHOULD ASK YOUR HAIRDRESSER

November 8, 2021

No matter how often you visit the hair salon, you will still find it intimidating to sit in the salon chair because of reasons that are known only to yourself. It isn’t a matter of self-esteem but more of a fearful feeling because you want to get your hair cut or coloured nicely.


And so, you show the hairdresser your desired haircut or colour and he or she proceeds with the process with minimal dialogue. This is where it gets nerve-wracking because you might end up with a haircut or colour that’s less satisfactory to you.


The thing is, your hairdresser will want you to like how your hair is cut and coloured. That way, they will feel appreciated for their skills and knowledge. Hence, it’s important to communicate with your hairdresser so that you’re both on the same page.


If you’re still wary about opening up to your hairdresser, here are some of the important questions to ask your hairdresser, ranging from product choices to tools and maintenance. After all, you will benefit from this Q&A session with your hairdresser in Singapore.

HOW CAN YOU CUSTOMISE MY HAIRCUT TO BEST FIT MY FACE SHAPE?

More often than not, people tend to get a haircut that may not be suitable for them. This is especially true because every person has a different face shape. If you bring a bunch of photos to your hairdresser, showing your desired haircut but you don’t have similar facial features as the photos, you won’t leave the salon happy.


An experienced hairdresser will be able to advise on how he or she can customise the haircut to suit your facial features. If you have a hairdresser whom you trust, they may offer you suggestions on a different haircut. After all, they only want what’s best for your face shape.

WHAT’S THE OVERALL HEALTH OF MY HAIR AND SCALP?

Hairdressers deal with a lot of hair every day, including the scalp. Asking your hairdresser this question may seem like the oddest choice of topic, but it’s one of the more helpful questions to understand your hair health and scalp condition.


Besides, your hairdresser can recommend suitable hair treatments and products to help get your hair back in shape, even if your hair requires professional intervention. They can also help you identify the root of your hair problems so that you can better manage your hair care routine.

WHAT SHAMPOO AND CONDITIONER ARE YOU USING? 

Knowing what shampoo and conditioner your hair salon uses is important because it may or may not be suitable for your hair type. It’s important to use the right products for your hair so that it ends up looking the way you want.


That said, your hair type is different from the roots, mid-lengths, and ends. In some cases, you may need to alternate between different types of shampoos and conditioners for different parts of your hair. Let’s say you have an oily scalp but dry ends, you will need to use a clarifying shampoo on the roots and a moisturising shampoo on the ends.

HOW SHOULD I MAINTAIN THIS HAIRSTYLE AT HOME? 

Every time you leave the salon with your newest hairstyles, you will find it disheartening after the first wash because your hair no longer looks and feels the same way. To prevent that from happening, you can ask your hairdresser how you can maintain the hairstyle at home.


If you’re not one to ask a lot of questions, pay attention to how your hairdresser styles your hair post-cut and ask for a suitable hair care routine at home. Besides, caring for your hairstyle at home is simply one of the ways to prolong your desired look until your next appointment.


By asking these questions to your hairdresser, you’re allowing them to somewhat showcase their knowledge as well as their skills. After all, not everyone can be a hairdresser because it takes effort and creativity to provide many people with distinct hairstyles.


Additionally, informing your hairdresser of what other hair services you have done will help them to better manage the outcome of your desired hair service. This is especially if you previously had your hair box-dyed or did a Keratin treatment because your hair will then require special attention when you choose to do a chemical treatment at the salon.
