If you’ve known your hairdresser for years and you’re consistently happy with the way they work—way to go! No matter if someone cuts your hair, bakes your bread, fixes your home, delivers your newspaper, or gives you financial advice, it’s a blessing to have professionals in your life that you know you can trust to do their jobs well.
However, if you’re on the lookout for a new stylist, things can get tricky. It’s hard to know who to trust without first seeing them in action.
The ‘Thriving Stylist’ notes that good hair salons will have accessible booking options. If there’s poor communication between the stylists and their clients, then it’s a red flag. If a client feels like they’re being ignored, they’ll get frustrated and simply look for alternatives instead of wasting their time.
Another thing to look out for is how the salon presents itself on social media. Do the photos match reality or are they a more glamorous version of what’s actually offered?
Another issue is if the salon only has limited payment options. For example, a stylist who only takes cash is obviously going to lose clients who would love to be able to pay by card, too. And vice versa.
The more flexible you are, the fewer potential clients you’ll lose, because you’ll be catering to the widest possible audience.The ‘Thriving Stylist’ also notes that your image as a hair stylist also matters. To put it bluntly, if it’s clear that you haven’t put any effort into your own hairstyle, why should your clients trust you with their hair?
Meanwhile, Business Insider urges salons to update their websites and social media so that all clients will have access to the relevant info they need. Furthermore, the price you have to pay for a stylist’s services also matters. Offering discounts may be a subtle red flag.
Salons that offer quality services know the value of their efforts. On the other hand, if there’s little transparency about any hidden extra fees, then it’s not a good look.

If you feel inspired by the photos in this list and want to share any bad hairstyles you spot in the future on the sub, then you’ve got to abide by the community’s rules. For instance, you have to make sure that you’re sharing photos of actual human hair. Wigs or animal hair aren’t allowed.
Cosplay is acceptable only as long as the hair belongs to the person in the photo. Once again, if it’s a wig, then ‘Just [Eff] My [Stuff] Up’ isn’t the place to share it.
