Who’s the first person you want to show your new hairstyle to after leaving the salon?
On your way home from the salon,
you catch your reflection in a window and think, “My hair looks pretty good today.”
In that moment, who do you want to show it to first?
A friend?
A family member?
A coworker?
A business client?
A partner?
Or someone special in your life?
Choose your style for yourself—but it’s okay to consider how others see you too.
When choosing a hairstyle, I believe it’s most important to start with your own feelings.
Because—
Your life belongs to you.
It’s not about what others think,
but how you feel.
Not about being praised by others,
but about what excites you.
That should always come first.
A hairstyle you truly like
can help build your confidence.
Ever had one of those mornings where your hair looks great and your mood instantly lifts?
That’s proof you’re honoring your own sense of style.
But there’s another important perspective to consider—
the “objective” viewpoint.
“How do I want to be seen?” can also help define who you are.
For example—
“I want my partner to think I’m cute or cool.”
“I want to be seen as reliable in business.”
“I want to make a good impression at work.”
“I want my child to say, ‘Mom, you look pretty!’”
This kind of external perspective
doesn’t have to limit you.
It can actually help you express who you are.
That’s why I sometimes ask questions like this during a consultation:
“Are you meeting someone after this?”
“Who do you most want to show this hairstyle to?”
When someone comes to mind,
you start to see the version of yourself you want to be for them.
And maybe that’s close to the version of yourself you really want to become.
Balancing how you feel and how you’re seen—both matter.
A hairstyle you love.
A hairstyle someone compliments.
My job is to help you find the sweet spot where both overlap.
Because hair isn’t just about how you look—
it reflects your lifestyle, emotions, and relationships too.
Being true to your own taste,
while also understanding how you want to be seen in society—
both are forms of self-respect.
One last question.
After leaving the salon,
who do you want to show your new hairstyle to first?
When you picture that person,
the hairstyle that fits you best might start to take shape.
