Step1
Ask your friends and acquaintances about their stylists. If you see someone on the street who has a haircut you admire, don't hesitate to ask for the stylist's name'most will be flattered and only too happy to tell you.
Step2
Pick a salon with a good reputation and ask for a stylist who specializes in your type of hair, or choose one based on what you've heard.
Step3
Schedule a consultation, for which the salon shouldn't charge you.
Step4
Make sure the salon looks clean and orderly.
Step5
Find out as much as you can about that particular stylist'how long he or she has been in business and what products he or she prefers.
Step6
Inquire about the beauty school the stylist attended if you wish, but keep in mind that the work is more important than where he or she studied.
Step7
Evaluate the stylist's own hair to see if it's chic and healthy-looking.
Step8
Note whether the stylist asks appropriate questions about your hair history and how much time you're willing to spend styling your hair.
Step9
Consider asking for a new haircut, if you're a risk-taker, and letting the stylist do his or her best work.

on 11/22/2005 I look first to people on the street that have a look that I desire, and ask them where they go for their hairstyle. The last time few times that I did this, the reply was David Ingham at Koru Spa Salon in Long Beach.
This stylist is great with creating a style that is your own. He's done hair for a bunch of celebrities, like Cindy Crawford and Naomi Campbell. When I saw him I was overjoyed with my look.

on 11/22/2005 I fill a large ice cream tub with water from the tank and put the fish into it. Then I take about 3/4 of the water out, leaving 1/4. Then I scoop out the gravel, plants, and other items and rinse with hot water. We have a rain-water collector, so we use that as clean water (I've noticed the fish like the rain water and survive better). I then reorganize the gravel, plants, and other items and pour the old 1/4 of water I kept and add the clean rain water. I turn on the pump to let it heat up and settle. I do this about once a month.

on 11/22/2005 Confidence is an important thing when it comes to hairstylists. They transfer this self-confidence through their work to you about your self-image. I agree with the earlier comment that if a hairstylist objects to some of your suggestions, it's usually a good sign; a sign that they know something and are confident about their job. That gives them an air of authority and control, and gives you an air of trusting your stylist. Nothing is worse than walking out of a salon afraid to take your hat off because your hairstylist was so not self-confident that it left you in doubt and uncertainty.

on 11/22/2005 Stylits always cut your hair an inch shorter than what you requested, so ask for your cut longer than usual!
