Hair Cutting Tips

Hair cut is an excellent way to change an appearance, make someone feel different or younger, or simply keep up with the latest trends.  Hair cut and style their hair to symbolize something, whether it's personality, religious conviction, tradition, social status, membership in a group, or self-expression.

• Understanding your face’s structural composition and scheduling a consultation with your stylist are the best ways to ensure a perfect cut.
• Choosing a hairstyle that suits your looks & lifestyle, and then learning the techniques that will ensure a perfect finish.
• Add one more consideration when selecting your most flattering haircut and style: your body type.
• One of the most important hair cutting tips to know is your hair type. You would be surprised just how many people have no idea much about their hair at all. Is your hair thin, thick, straight, and wavy, course, fine, and so on? This is important since not all hairstyles look good with all types of hair. If you are unsure, then stop by a salon and ask.
• Use the correct shampoo for your hair type. Not all hair is created equal.
• If you have long hair, get your hair cut in the back in a v-shape. It allows for extra length without leaving you looking too "high school," plus it's a classic look for long hair that's universally considered gorgeous.
• Edge the front, sides and nape of the neck first for a shape-up then cut the hair. Should your child not tolerate a haircut before you or the barber is done, a shape-up will give him a clean, fresh haircut look, even if the hair has not been entirely cut.
• Always remember to cut off less hair than what you want the finished length to be.
• For better manageability, use a styling gel, letting your hair dry naturally.
• Always cut hair by pulling it through your fingers vertically and making the cut. This will help keep from leaving a "line" in the hair.
• Take each haircut session one at a time. Observe your child, take notes if necessary. You will learn more about your child each time.
• If you start off slouching or a bit crooked your hair will end up a little bit off too. So get a good comfy position when you first sit down.
• Always use extremely sharp scissors. The type of shears you use is not that necessary as long as they are razor sharp.
• A popular way to achieve asymmetry in a hair style is to cut the bangs in an asymmetrical fashion so that they hang heavier on one side.
• Remember, it is better to cut too little than too much, and don't try to rush.
