Are You Choosing a Hairdresser Who Sees You, Not Just Your Hairstyle?

There are many different ways people choose a hair salon or hairdresser.
For example…
- You’re not completely satisfied with your current salon
- You’ve moved and want to find a new place nearby
- You just feel like a change and want a new style
So, how do you make your choice?
Price, location, atmosphere, the stylist’s personality, photos on Instagram…
They’re all valid reasons. Everyone has their own best way to choose, and that’s totally okay.
But still—there’s something I’ve always been wondering about.
“I can do this style” doesn’t always mean it suits you.
Social media is filled with pictures of hairstyles these days.
- “This haircut is so cute!”
- “This color looks awesome.”
- “That perm or straightening looks interesting…”
Many people choose salons based on those impressions.
But I want you to pause for just a moment and think:
Does that style really fit you as a person?
- Does it match your bone structure, hair type, or facial features?
- Does it suit your job or lifestyle?
- Does it reflect how you want to be seen or feel about yourself?
It’s like buying off-the-rack clothes vs. having a suit custom-made to your body and taste.
The custom one just feels right the moment you wear it.
Hairstyles are the same.
We need more hairdressers who offer “made-to-measure” hair design.
Chasing trends isn’t a bad thing.
Especially when you’re young, it’s fun to try different styles—and your hair can usually handle it.
But as we get older—into our 30s, 40s, and beyond—trends alone stop feeling satisfying.
- “Does this suit my age?”
- “Does it fit how I want to present myself professionally?”
- “Is it easy to manage?”
- “Will it help improve my scalp and hair health?”
When all these factors come into play, you start wanting a style that’s truly your own.
That’s why it’s so important to choose a hairdresser who listens to your story—not just your hairstyle requests.
3 Things to Look For When Choosing a Hairdresser
If you’re searching for a new salon, here are a few things to keep in mind:
- Do they really listen to you?
Do they take time for proper consultation?
Do they care about your lifestyle, concerns, and personal preferences?
- Do they design for you, not just the style?
Are they offering something tailored to your face shape, hair type, and personality—not just cookie-cutter cuts?
- Do their values and mindset resonate with you?
When you read their posts or blog, do you feel a sense of connection?
Do you feel, “Yes, I can trust this person”?
I want to help enrich your life—through hair.
I don’t just want to be “someone who cuts hair.”
- A new style can change the words you use and how you express yourself
- It can boost your confidence
- It can make your daily life a bit easier
I want to create styles that help shape and support your entire life.
That’s why,
rather than selling trendy cuts,
I focus on designing hair that reflects your personality.
In Closing
Everyone has their own way of choosing a hairdresser, and that’s perfectly okay.
But if something about your current style feels a little “off”…
“Does this really feel like me?”
“Isn’t there a style that fits me better?”
If so, I’d love to hear your story.
Because changing your hair is a small way of changing your life.
I’d be honored to help you find the style that feels most like you.
