Hairstyling is an important part of any ones overall fashion look. Getting the right style and look and suits your face shape and hair style and can take a lot of time and effort. Women across Edinburgh spend lots of money at the hairdressing salons on their hair styling, hair colour and hair cut.

To begin with, we have all probably heard or witnessed a person who has come out of a hairdresser's salon with a haircut and styling which is, completely alien to their normal character, and look - and they express dismay and even shock. Some may even have their beautiful long hair cut short without realizing how it happened.

The times when this occurs most often is when the client, being asked about their hair preferences, answers that they are seeking something different, and says "yes" while sitting in the hairdresser's chair, without appreciating just what the stylist is about to do.

Take care not to be rushed by the hairdresser to make a hasty decision on big hairstyle changes. Ask them to see, a photograph of the hair style they are suggesting, even if only to give yourself more time to think. And, if in doubt at all, just say that you will think about it and consider asking for that new cut and style at your next visit..
