16 tips for a visit to the hairdresser from HairGott Munich

1. How to find my hairdresser

Have you seen an impressive hairstyle in the underground? Your neighbour suddenly has a hair colour as if kissed by the sun, and the short haircut suits her as if she had never had anything else? Then it’s time to act now – to address and ask: Which hairdresser is responsible for this work of art? “As with art, when we look at a hairstyle we react emotionally to what we like.

We combine feeling with passion.

2. arrange a hairstyle consultation

If you are in the mood for a completely new look, you don’t have to go the whole hog, but can make an appointment with us first.

3. take a look at our Instagram or facabook page!

You should definitely use it. Because there, real customers are photographed by us after their hairdressing appointments and not just pictures of models or stars who have had hours of styling behind them.

4. dress authentically

To the hairdresser in a baggy jumper – hm, just because you are on holiday? That goes without saying. But only if this look really suits you. Your hairdresser should be able to tell immediately what type of person you are. That means: Instead of being too casual or too styled, you should dress authentically. By the way: turtlenecks are not only annoying when cutting. The proportions of your neck and head are also decisive for the right length of hair for you.

5. show us who you are

An assistant welcomes you and puts on your cape? No! Please protest politely but firmly. The hairdresser must have seen you in your clothes once to know what type of person you are.

6. be yourself!

Do you have to show up at the hairdresser’s shop with a potted haircut? No, absolutely not! Even without styling or fresh hair wash, our professionals can tell which hairstyle the customer normally wears. But: Those who normally wear make-up should also go to the hairdresser’s appointment with make-up on, so that the styling can be adapted to the overall look.

7. your styling routine?

How much time do you want and can you spend on styling in your everyday life? This is exactly the information your hairdresser needs, and as concretely as possible: Please recommend a hairstyle that I can do in ten minutes.

8. tell us about yourself

In order for your new hairstyle not only to look good after your appointment with the hairdresser, but also to fit into your life, the hairdresser needs to know a few things about your everyday life. Tell them about yourself: Do you do sports? If so, which one? What do you do for a living? Is it connected with customer appointments? Let us explain to you how you can style your hairstyle for work, everyday family life or for sports. Of course, it is also very important to know how to style your new haircut so that it is suitable for going out.

9. address everything

You would like to have wisps? You want a pony, but please not so fringed and not too short? The customer should not only say what she wants, but also what she does not want.

10. pictures often say more than 1000 words

No, it is not silly to bring a picture of a model or a star, quite the opposite. Look for a hairstyle on Google. If you like a hairstyle or even a detail of the hairstyle, such as the strands or the colour gradient, the photo will become the basis for our conversation. This way we avoid misunderstandings. Nevertheless, you should not expect the hairstyle to look the same at the end as on the photo template, because everyone has a different hair basis.

11. point out the small details

A good hairdresser not only looks you in the face, but also pays attention to your profile – because the cut has to match it.

12. choosing the right time

Major changes should be well prepared. This applies, for example, if you want to change from brown to blonde. Then your hair should be hardwearing and in top condition, otherwise it is better to wait until your next appointment. For example, if your hair is very dry and brittle at the moment, we recommend that you care for your hair for two to three weeks with an intensive mask and regular hair treatments at home before we start the colour change.

13. finding the right colour tone

A touch of gold or already quite red? The perception of colour differs from person to person, even among hairdressers and customers. The best way to find out whether you are talking about the same hair colour is to look at a colour chart.

14. step by step

You really want to go darker, but your hairdresser recommends that you only dye one or two shades darker? You can trust him! Changing the colour from blond to brown can quickly look very artificial.

15. determine the correct hair length

Would you like to have only the tips cut or more? Does that mean for you that only one centimetre is cut off? But for the hairdresser it could also be five centimetres. Therefore, make it clear that you want to keep the current hair length and only want to get your hair back in shape. Then only one or two centimetres will be cut off.
