How do I find a competent hair dresser/sytlist fast?

On monday I'm going somewhere important and I need my hair cut TODAY. I've used the same hair dresser my entire life and he's always done a perfect, fantastic job. I swear he looks into my soul, listens to what I say, and then magicly interprets not just what I want but what I need - I've NEVER been dissappointed by a hair cut by this person. I forgot to make an appointment two weeks in advance so he couldn't get me in and now I've got about 5 hours to find someone who can take me from waist length hair to nearly a bob without making me look horrible!

Is it polite to ask about credientials? Can I call up, ask to speak to a sylist and ask the following without being way out of line?

"How long have you been cutting hair?" "How long have you been working at >>>>>?" "Do you mainly work on older women or younger ones?" "Where where you trained what schooling do you have?"

Is there anything else I should ask? THANKS.

  • If your hairdresser won't refer you to someone they trust, I wouldn't take a chance on someone else giving me the cut. Keep it long and get your own hairdresser to cut it later. You've heard the old saying, "Better be safe than sorry".

  • I would go to a 'Hair Cuttery' (they allow walk-ins), call them up and be like, "I need to schedule a cut. Who would you recommend?" Chances are if you tell them what you want they will put you with someone that is more familiar with what you want done. Also, they are all certified in what they do, so no need to ask about schooling...

    Good Luck:)

  • go out walk around if you see some one with the style you want, stop them tell them their hair is great and ask where they get it done, they will be very flattered you will have made their day, and found a good hairdresser

  • Wear your hair totally wild, it is a turn on to some guys like me. Or shave your head or wear colorful rags on your head like some women from other countries.

  • omg if you live in pickering ontario canada then go to sculptures and ask for tammy she is amazzingg i love her she works wonders!
