Dear Bethany,
I am really wanting a change in my look, so I decided to go get my hair cut, and hopefully completely changed. New color, new cut, new style. I'm really scared though that I'll make a bad decision - it's been a long time since I've done anything with my hair. How can I get a good idea of what to do without making a major screw-up with my hair? - Timid in Chicago Dear Timid, When we were younger our hair styles were usually chosen by our parents. We didn’t really get to have much say until we were much older. It’s a nice change once in awhile to try a new hair design. All of us have been at this point at one time or another. We get stuck in a rut and just need a change, and it usually starts with our hair design. When you want a new hair design and just aren’t sure where to start, make an appointment with a talented hair stylist. Take a few pictures with you of hair styles that you like, and go to your appointment a little early if you want to check out the hair design books and magazines at the salon. You should have a pretty good idea of what you want by the time of your appointment. Ask your hair stylist any questions you may have and go for it! If you have decided on a color and perm, or highlights, make sure to book enough time for your appointment. Most salons need at least an hour to do a color, cut, and style, or a perm, cut, and style. If you’re not sure what you want, tell the receptionist, and they will book extra time for you. There are so many different things you can do with your hair so how do you know you are going to like the hair design you chose?
