How can I style my hair as if it has just been cut? 

Firstly, do you ever walk out of the salon and realize that this is the best that your hair will look until the next cut? It happens to all of us. You are paying for a service so that you can look your best, but what if you want to achieve this look every day? The good news is that you can. Just ask your barber how you can style your hair to look just like it did when you left the salon and they will provide some tips. 

How often should I visit for a cut?

Everyone is different; while some hair grows quickly, other people don't need to get their hair cut too often. A good rule of thumb is to visit your chosen barber service every four to six weeks. However, this general rule might not apply to you. Since your barber knows your hair the best, be sure to ask them how often you should schedule a cut. 

What kind of products should I use?

There are a lot of hair products out there and it can be overwhelming to try and figure out which ones you need. When in doubt, ask your barber service because they will be able to recommend the best products for your hair type. Of course, be careful with this one because you don't just want them to sell their own products. Thankfully, most barbers are honest and will offer personalized advice. 

How do I deal with thinning hair?

For both men and women, hair thinning can be a sensitive issue. If you're struggling with this, it's important to ask for help because there are options available. Again, your barber will be a great resource because they've probably dealt with this issue before (many, many times!). They can recommend the best products and styles to help you feel confident again. 

Do you have any recommendations for a good shampoo and conditioner?

If you're not happy with your current hair care routine, it might be time to ask for some recommendations. Your barber will know all about the best products on the market and can help you find something that suits your specific needs. They may even be able to give you a few samples to try out. 

What styles do you think would suit me?

Not sure what style to go for? Your barber service can help you out. They'll be able to take a look at your hair type, face shape, and lifestyle and give you some options that would suit you. They may even be able to show you some pictures of styles that you like; if this is the case, don't be afraid to say no. After all, you are the one that must walk around with the style until the next cut. 

Does my hair look and feel healthy?

Your barber should be able to tell you if your hair is in good condition or not. If they think that it could use some improvement, they may be able to recommend some products or treatments. Remember, your hair is an important part of your appearance, so it's worth taking care of it this year.
