How do I explain to my hairdresser what kind of highlights I want?

what are some key words?





I usually do my own highlights, so this is new to me.





I want them chunky, yet even, but mostly blond in the front.?


is that good?How do I explain to my hairdresser what kind of highlights I want?
Cow heads can have highlights? lol Sounds like my hair actually. It's kinda pulled up in this picture but you can see em a little... http://www.flickr.com/photos/9488036@N07鈥?/a>





I think the way you described it is good, that should get the point across. Have fun!!!How do I explain to my hairdresser what kind of highlights I want?
just tell 'em u want 'em chunky lol :)


source: you hahahaha :)
Bring along a picture of someone who has the highlights you want.





Cut out a picture from a magazine or something.
just tell him / her what u want lol :)
yeah thats fine but ask for sunkissed high lights becuase you dont want them to look tooo tooo too fake. bring a pic of Misha Barton of Hannah Montana becuase they both have sun kissed high light!
Tell her you want chunky highlights, they know what there doing! I prefer thin highlights.
Take in picturses that look similar to what you want and be very descriptive in what you tell the hairdresser. I've been getting my hair done by the same girl for about 3 years and she loves seeing the pictures first. Gives her a better idea of what I want.
A picture is worth a thousand words... but your description is actually very concise- just be sure to take the time to talk it through and that he/she undserstands what you want, if you don't like them, they should fix them for free til you are satisfied, that is what I do!
yes and show a picture too you always sit down first and have a consultation first and then she will mix the colors! some advice though get her opinion of what she thinks would look good! but you have to be comfortable with it! I let my girl do her thing!
The very best thing to do is take a picture. But you explained it pretty good I think.
get some pages from magazines with pictures of what you want! you need to show them something they can see!!!

  • Survey: Do hairdressers chatting to you drive you mad?

    A sad question I know, but I find getting my haircut an ordeal because the barber, no matter where I go, ALWAYS insists on banal chat.





    Am I just being rude, wanting my haircut in silence, apart from a complementary ';good job'; a the end?Survey: Do hairdressers chatting to you drive you mad?
    Not just that, but when you go to the same person more than once and you have their ';questionaire routine'; memorized.





    For example:


    ';So are you married?';


    ';Do you have kids?';


    ';What do you do in your free time?';





    ';...You're being paid to do my hair. This isn't a first date.';





    Survey: Do hairdressers chatting to you drive you mad?
    Haha some people find it fun you know, and some customers actually try and get their hairdresser to talk to them and have chats because that way they can form a friendship and they might even get discounts haha. If you really don't like chatting to your hairdresser then just make sure you don't say anything rude because he is the one cutting your hair so be careful =P
    The constant chatting used to drive me mad sure


    But the other day I went to get my hair done and I ended up with this one who was completely silent, except to tell me to take a seat





    And I realised that was even worse!


    So awkward


    I ended up trying to small talk her


    Asking about the holidays and the like
    OMG i know what you mean!!





    i have a cut and colour every 6 weeks, which should take about an hour and a half, but ive been in for 3 hours before now





    thing is, i dont mind so much, as my stylist is also a close friend from my childhood, has done my hair for the past 14 years or so, and i wouldnt ever let anyone touch it!





    Also while my colour is on we go out the back for a ciggie and a brew n girlie banter, so actually i quite like it, but it just takes up so much of my time when having my hair done!!!!!!





    :p
    Tasha basically said what i was going to lol it does depends what they are talking about really, how much imagination they have :p it must do their head in as well sometimes if they just end up saying they same stuff to person after person and then end up having the same conversation half of the time :s
    I am a hairdresser and I don't chat too much at all, in fact I would rather cut quietly. Also, despite what people might think, if your a chatty customer .. a lot of the time the hairdresser can't hear you anyway with the dryers %26amp; all going !
    Take a book with you. Most people understand you don't yammer at a person that's reading. If that doesn't work, find a barber that's quiet. My husbands barber is very quiet. All you hear in that barber shop is the hum of clippers and a grandfather clock. Not a lot of blabbing at all.
    No, I agree. I hate it too. I often want peace and quiet to think and I would enjoy the experience a lot more if they just did it in silence. The worst I find is when all the other cutters are silent and it ends up the whole room listening to your conversation...
    I've been going to the same hairdresser for over 10 years, he and I know each other well after all this time and there is always a lot to talk about.





    Your situation is different. Tell him before he begins that you have a headache. Good luck with that.
    It usually helps to ask for a magazine and look really engrossed in it, and they tend to leave you alone! My hairdresser is pretty cool though, we have nothing in common to talk about, but he usually has some good stories to tell.
    yeh. i think if u wana chat to them u should start the topic of conversation off otherwise they rant on about stuff u dont even care about! i prefer to just sit and have 20 mins to myself without them chinning on in my ear!
    No not really it's the other way around for me.


    I don't want her/him to do my hair with complete silence,that's uncomfortabble.But a hairdresser who can't seem to shut up is annoying too =]
    Not so much, but I have a chatty dentist that loves to pick argumentative subjects exactly when I have my mouth full of stuff, by the time I am able to speak my time is over........
    Anyone who goes on and on about nothing will last less than five minutes with me when having my hair cut or any other such necessary but time involving activity.
    They're trying to spice up their job. I also find talk at the hairdressers fairly awkward but I was never one to open up with strangers.
    it depends what they are talking about really, i hate sitting in silence. but i'd rather the hairdresser concentrating on my hair so it doesn't screw up
    I have children so I like to just sit and relax while getting my hair cut and enjoy the silence.
    it is annoying but not as bad as when the dentist or hygienist asks you questions while they have their hands in your mouth. almost impossible to respond
    maybe they just like to talk to break the ';uncomfortable silence';.
    I agree with you.....All I want to do is get my hair cut in peace. I don't want to hear all the barbers drivell and idal chit chat
    I honestly hate sitting in silence. It makes me feel uncomfortable for some reason. I don't mind when they talk to me as long as they don't mess up my hair.
    No, I am nervous around strangers so it relieves me when they talk. Otherwise, I do all the talking.
    sometimes yes,when i go to get my hair cut or fix my hair the hairdressers talk for so long i am sorry but they think we care about their life
    I agree with you unless it is someone you have been to many times they should pay attention to what they are doing.
    god that does my fooking head in I feel like saying just shut the fook up cut my hair the way I want, and let me fook off!!!! lol xxxx
    YES!!! I quit going to my last stylist because I couldn't stand listenting to her. She told me her life story every time I went there and it was making me sick.
    yes bloody annoying! i wish theyd zip it %26amp; let me have my own thoughts while i am being pampered


    all trey ever talk about is hols %26amp; the weather BORING
    I never used to like all this small talk until a few years back,changed barber and the one I've got now I actually look forward to the crack......so go somewhere else maybe Best of luck.
    yes. especially when they tell you not to move cuz talking makes your head move its like being at the fooking dentist. cant have someones hands in my mouth and talk at the same fooking time.
    I prefer to chat as I find silent moments embarrassing.
    Yes you know i went to the hairdressers once and all i heard was.


    '; I'm going out tonight can't wait. ';

    Jose Eber
    The most famous hairdresser in Hollywood is probably JOSE EBER: A TV personality in his own right, Jose's opulent Beverly Hills salon (inside the Two Rodeo Drive center) attracts celebrity customers such as Cher, Elizabeth Taylor, Barbra Streisand, Meg Ryan and Farrah Fawcett.





    CHRISTOPHE (at 348 N. Beverly Drive) is the man responsible for giving former President Bill Clinton the infamous $200 haircut that caused the President so much bad publicity during his first year in office; Barbra Streisand sent First Lady Hillary Clinton to Christophe's Beverly Hills salon for a new do - one she changes regularly. Christophe also has done the hair of stars such as Nicole Kidman, Sally Field, Goldie Hawn, Ted Danson, and Kate Capshaw . His hair colorist, Lori Goddard, has worked with Farrah, Rosanna Arquette and Markie Post. One hair colorist is Matthew Boger, whose long-term clients have included Sharon Stone, Lauren Holly, Liv Tyler,





    ALLEN EDWARDS (216 26th Street, in Brentwood) has cut hair for the likes of Dustin Hoffman, Donna Mills, Geena Davis, Suzanne Somers, Raquel Welch, Anne Bancroft and Sharon Stone.

    FEKKAI (440 N. Rodeo Drive), a relative newcomer in Beverly Hills, but not with the Show Biz crowd. Fr茅d茅ric Fekkai has been styling hair at Fifth Avenue %26amp; 57th Street in New York for the likes of Sandra Bullock, Barbra Streisand, Kate Capshaw and Rita Wilson (Mrs. Tom Hanks). Now his famous clients can visit him closer to home. Ellen Degeneres and Anne Heche did when they were an item. So have Ashley Judd, Debra Messing (of ';Will %26amp; Grace';), Jessica Biel (of ';7th Heaven';) and Melanie Griffith. You can too, if you don't mind long waits (he's only in town one week out of each month) and if you don't mind paying $300+ per haircut. (less if someone else at his salon does the work.) (310) 777-8700.





    JOSEPHMARTIN (421 N. Rodeo Drive). The ';Joseph'; in JosephMartin is Joseph Kendall, a famed haircutter whose celebrity clients have included Julia Roberts, Oliver Stone and Hugh Grant .

    I want to be a hairdresser. But how can I become really good at it?

    I have been thinking about becoming a hairdresser. But I really want my clients to be happy when they leave. So how can I make myself a good hairdresser. Also how can I get them to tell me what they really want? When some of them don't really tell you want they want!I want to be a hairdresser. But how can I become really good at it?
    a lot of people i'm guessing dont know exactly what they want straight away.





    you could ask them about anything they've seen on celebrities or friends or something, or get them to look through some magazines for ideas before you bring them to the chair.





    make sure you know as much as possible about why they are there, what they want, what they are getting it cut for etc. and just make sure they are comfortable.I want to be a hairdresser. But how can I become really good at it?
    go to college and train . get an apprenticeship at a good salon . and if u want to have ure own business also take a business management course and that will obvi help u have a successful one lol .
    I really want to be a hairdresser too. I will be getting my degree in business in december and will be starting cosmetology school in January. [why i bothered with getting a business degree?] I want to own my own salon. Im worried about my clients leaving unhappy and not coming back, or telling their friends i F-ed up their hair. Most things I hear people saying and think I even sometimes find myself saying is ';she didn't do what I asked, she did what she thought was best'; Im just going to do exactly what my client asks for, if they say they want pink hair... then pink hair it is. If im not completely clear on eactly what my client wants im going to ask questions until they paint a clear enough picture. Also im going to make sure my shop has plenty of mag's and photos of up to date styles for customers to look at, a photo is always a good way of putting what your trying to convey into a picture so i hope by having lots pf pictures and magazines my clients will be able to visualize what they want and be able to show me exactly what they want so we both can be happy.





    good luck!!!

    Any hairdressers that could help me out..?

    I have a cow's lick, and so just now I have my hair in an off-centre parting. About 2 cm from a centre parting and to my right side. But the thing is, I really want to have a sweeping side fringe.


    But my hair doesn't seem to allow it, but I was wondering if it ever would be able to?


    :(


    much love, rdm_xAny hairdressers that could help me out..?
    Depending on how strong it is, I have found that the best thing is to work with it. You are going to be in a constant battle, and it is going to win every time!





    Usually, I like to put the part through the cowlick, and use it as part of the design. you will get some nice lift out of it and may give you additional fullness without working for it. You might want to leave that section just a bit longer so it has some added weight to hold its shape.





    If you try to force it against its natural direction, you will get a lot of lift and fighting back. You can use it to advantage, or be in constant battle.





    Not knowing what kind of bangs you are talking about, it is hard to make any suggestions. I would think, if the cowlick is not that severe, you could be able to put just a hint of a bend in the ends of the hair, and the brush them to one side, allowing it to fall into place. If the cowlick is very prominent, this may not be possible to the same degree as you wish.





    My best suggestion would be to consult with a professional stylist, and see what they can suggest. They will be able to see you and your hair, and better know what will work or not for you. Don't do anything at that time (as to cutting or shaping) until you have time to go home and think about it. Cuts take a long time to grow out! But if a good solution can be found that you are happy with, I think you will really enjoy it more than having to fight with it every day. Sometimes we can't have what we would like, but need to learn to like what we have.Any hairdressers that could help me out..?
    The only thing that really helps a cowlick is length to pull it flatter. You need to let that spot grow out for a while. Your cowlick will always remain, as it is formed from a section of hair where the follicles direct the hair to grow out in a different direction from most of your hair. Length to pull it out does mask it though

    How much to tip at hairdresser?

    Kind of a random question ... but I am getting my hair colored. One of the girls in the shop is going to color it, but the owner of the shop is going to be the one cutting/blow-drying it. It's going to cost $75. How much do I tip each?? (I have heard that you aren't supposed to tip the owner, but feel funny about that, since its a friend of a friend.) Do I tip them separately?? Stupid question, I know, but don't want to look stupid.How much to tip at hairdresser?
    I am a hairstylist. Owners usually do not accept tips, but in some instances depend on them just as much as the other employees. around 20% is customary if you are satisfied. as so there is no confusion as to who you should tip, and how much for each, leave the tip with the person whom you pay for your services.How much to tip at hairdresser?
    I usually tip depending on how long it took them and how good of a job i think they did. I just got my hair in an updoe for a formal event last week. The lady was very nice, my hair looked beautiful and she actually did all my hair (Its long and i have a lot) in less then an hour. There was even a special that day since my friend and i went together it was only $35 a piece my friend only tipped like $3 but i thought she did great and the place was very nice so i tipped her $15. I guess ive always been like that though i like being nice. So i guess it depends on how satisfied you are. I would say at least $5 if it takes them about an hour.
    I used to work in Toni and Guy and people didn't really tip that much, but one women tipped 拢20 and the girl was quite shocked. So maybe 拢5-10 depending how much you liked it, and 拢1 for the girl that washes your hair.
    15-20% of the bill before discounts and taxes. So, 20% of $75.00 is $15.00 and 15% of $75.00 is $11.25
    You should tip about 20% but only if they do a really good job. I think that $10-$15 should more than cover it.
    You should tip around 20%.
