How can I get the hairdresser to cut my hair the way that I ask?

I have been to many, MANY different hairdstylists in the city where I live and I (almost) never get what I want.

Last week I asked that my bangs reach my eyebrows when completely dry and that I wanted my hair to frame my face (Examples I can think of are Goldie Hawn's style or JLo's hair in Monster In Law) but my bangs were cut too short and the hair around my face was too long and UNEVEN. Am I asking for the impossible? I've been to so many different places both high end and less expensive and it seems like no one is listening when I tell them what I want!

Are there things that I can look for when a stylist is cutting so that I can speak up while I'm still in the chair and they can fix it BEFORE I get up to pay?

For example: when they separate my hair -front section from back section- where should the separation be? in front of my ear? behind my ear? directly over my ear?

And to get the frame I want would that entail tiny layers or would it be razor cut?

Suggestions please!

Bring a picture of Goldie and get them to cut your hair dry.

Ask them if they can do it, as you've been to many who blew it.

They may try harder.

Hi there...the best way I try to avoid such problems like yours is to try and take the most similar photo I can find of the hairstyle I want. Try to remember though that celeb hair is all blowdried etc so you wont have the exact same affect as them.

I would look for a picture of what you want, and go to an experienced stylist.. when they have a picture, stylists are much better at giving the cut you want. if the model has a different face shape than you, ak them to modify it to work with your face... you can either flip through magazines or google

Nnext time you go to a hairdresser, ask them how long she has been cutting hair. If she has had many years of experiance, she may be the one for you. Another suggestion might be to get the names of all the stylists, comeback to Yahoo answers and ask for the respone of people in your area and if they had a good experiance with that particular place.

I completly understand your frustration, though. I once went to this hair stylist, and I had asked for a very spacific cut. I came out with an old lady do, and I was very displeased!

Bring picutres or even draw some quick sketches. Ask them to cut it dry. And for tiny layers, razor cuts are good, but are easy to screw up on. Watch out! :P

The best way to have your hair like Goldie Hawn's or J.Lo's is that find a picture of them from the internet or a magazine, print it or cut it out,then bring it to the hair salon your going to. Show it to them even before you sit on the chair so that you have their full attention on how you want your hair to be cut.
