Drastic Cut

Have you had an urge lately for a drastic hair cut?

Spring is big business for hair salons. It’s the most common time of year to get the urge to change your style. It’s sort of a shedding instinct – but before you do something drastic:

• Find pictures of cuts, colors and styles you like first. Be realistic. Find photos of people who have similar face shapes and hair textures to your own.

• Arrive at the salon with your hair the way you usually wear it – even if you want something completely different. It lets the stylist know what you’re capable of.

• Be honest about your styling skills. You don’t want to end up with a do that requires a lot of daily styling or maintenance if you’ve got better things to do.
