The Importance Of Professionals In Revolutionizing Your Hairstyles

Have you ever wondered why you are drawn to some celebrities’ hairstyles? At the 2023 Met Gala, Cardi B’s hairstyle and dress stole the show and the hearts of many viewers. Behind that perfect look is a hairstylist working their magic fingers to get the most perfect look.

You may call them wizards because they can turn an ugly duckling into a beautiful princess. Some of the things a stylist looks out for before choosing a suitable style include the shape of your face, hair colour, skin tone, hair texture, and occasion (if it’s for a public event). So, if you want to stand out and stand tall at your next event, we recommend you contact a professional hairstylist.

I have my own personal hair stylist, and she is the brain behind stunning my looks and hairstyles. I usually sit back and let her do the magic; she never disappoints. Before I met my stylist, I needed clarification on what styling meant and would always stick to a particular style cause I was scared of looking terrible. My hair wasn’t looking as healthy as it is now.

Of course, I was using products, but I wasn’t using the right ones, and I wasn’t caring for my hair as I should have. But all of that changed when I met my stylist. Not only did she recommend the right products, but she also introduced me to colours and styles that I never thought would blend with my skin tone. So I stopped having bland looks for hairstyles. Yes, I said looks. When you make a style that complements your face, it gives you a different look.

Perhaps you are like me, all you need is a great hairstylist who can transform your world. A professional hairstylist knows a lot about hair health and knows when there is a problem with your hair, even before you can detect it. This makes them experts and qualified enough to give recommendations and treatments. In summary, by trusting a professional with your hair, you elevate your looks and invest in a personal brand.

Essential Skills a Stylist Should Have

This segment is for hairstylists. Yes, I am referring to you! You don’t just become a professional or a celebrity stylist overnight. It requires a lot of skill, passion, dedication, and a keen eye for details.

Let’s discuss some essential skills hairstylists should have in detail:

1. Attention to Detail

As a hairstylist, you must understand that every little detail matters. Every cut, colour application, and even layering technique can affect the final look.

2. Hygiene and Sanitation

You must maintain a high level of cleanliness. Sanitize all tools and equipment before use. Also, ensure that you have a high level of sanitary maintenance. Always appear properly dressed and have clean nails so that you can attract more clients to your salon.

3. Creativity and Vision

Creativity is an important aspect that brings ideas to life. Part of creativity is envisioning the styles suitable for each client based on the shape of their face. You should be able to keep up with trending hairstyles and techniques to always have fresh ideas to pitch to your clients.

4. Customer Service

People may not remember much about your service, but they will never forget how they feel. Therefore, be friendly, polite, and patient with all your clients as it will encourage more patronage. Ensure that every client walks away with a wide smile. Remember, all clients are different, so you must be equipped to handle each client based on their personalities. By doing so, you ensure that each client feels comfortable and valued.

5. Technical Expertise

Technical expertise are the skills that define your role as a hairstylist. It includes knowledge of hair colouring,  relaxing, perming, and chemical application for various hair textures. It also includes your familiarity with hair products and tools such as conditioners, shampoos, dyes, relaxers, creams, treatments, and all styling tools. You should be able to recommend products to your clients based on your level of expertise.

6. Communication Skills

As a hairstylist, communicate with your clients. Please pay attention to their complaints and worries. By doing this, you know where their issues or insecurities are, and you address them. For instance, women with large foreheads prefer styles that will cover their foreheads. It is your job to understand your client’s complaints and deliver the desired results. Avoid miscommunication; try to be as transparent as possible, carrying your clients through every step of the procedure.
