How to find a reputable hairdresser near you

There's a lot to think about when finding a new hairdresser - cost, location, hours, and of course, reputation. You want someone who can give you a great haircut, but you also don't want to spend a fortune. So how do you find the best hairdresser near you? 

Here are a few tips to help you narrow down your search and find the perfect stylist for your needs.

Do your research - ask friends and family for recommendations, or search online reviews

The first step in finding a hairdresser near you is to ask around for recommendations. Family and friends are a great resource - they may have had a great experience with a local hairdresser and can point you in the right direction. If not, search "hairdresser near me" or "hairdresser + my city" in Google and see what comes up.

If you're not sure where to start, or you want to get more than one opinion, try searching online for reviews. Sites like Yelp or Google Reviews can be a great way to get an idea of what other people think of a particular hairdresser. Keep in mind that not all online reviews are 100% truthful, but they can still be a helpful starting point.

Once you've found a few hairdressers that interest you, take the time to check out their portfolios. Check out the salon's website or social media pages to get a sense of their style. Most reputable stylists will have an online portfolio or Instagram account where they showcase their work. This can be a great way to get a feel for their style and see if it's a good fit for you.

Make a list of potential hairdressers and book consultations with them

Once you've narrowed down your search, the next step is to schedule a consultation with each of the hairdressers on your list. This is a great opportunity to ask questions, get feedback on your hair, and see if you click with the stylist.

Don't forget to ask about pricing, too - you want to make sure you're comfortable with the cost of their services before you book an appointment.

After your consultations, you should have a good idea of which hairdresser is the best fit for you.

Ask questions about their experience, what services they offer, and what products they use

During the consultation, it's important to ask the stylist plenty of questions. This is your chance to get to know them, their experience, and what services they offer. You'll also want to find out about the products they use - some hairdressers prefer to use specific brands, which may not be right for you.

Make sure you feel comfortable with the stylist and their approach to hair.

Last but not least, you want to make sure you feel comfortable with the stylist. They should be friendly, open to feedback, and willing to work with you to achieve the look you want. If you don't feel like they're a good fit, it's ok to move on.

Get a feel for the salon - is it clean and organized, or does it look like it needs a makeover?

Take a good look at the salon before your appointment. Is it clean and organized, or does it look like it needs a makeover? This can be a good indicator of the level of care the stylists take with their work.

If everything looks good, go ahead and book your appointment - you may have found your new go-to hairdresser!

Go with your gut instinct - if something doesn't feel right, go elsewhere

If you get a bad feeling about a salon or the stylist, go with your gut instinct and move on. You don't want to go to a hairdresser who makes you uncomfortable, so if something doesn't feel right, it's best to find someone else.
