Frequently Asked Questions

How do I choose the right hairstyle for me?
Start with your hair length and natural texture, then consider your face proportions, daily routine, and styling preferences. A hairstyle that works with these factors is usually easier to manage and personalize.
Should I choose a haircut based on my face shape?
Face shape can be a useful starting point, but it should not be the only deciding factor. Hair texture, density, desired length, maintenance, and personal preference are equally important when choosing a haircut.
How do I know which haircut will work with my hair type?
Look at how your hair naturally behaves when it is clean and minimally styled. Straight, wavy, curly, fine, and thick hair can respond differently to layers, length, volume, and styling products.
Is short or long hair easier to maintain?
Short hair can require less daily detangling and drying, but some short cuts need frequent trims or regular styling to maintain their shape. Longer hair may require more washing and conditioning time, although certain long styles can be simple to wear day to day.
What should I consider before showing a hairstyle photo to my stylist?
Use photos to communicate the length, shape, layers, fringe, and finish you like. Ask your barber or stylist how the reference could be adapted to your natural texture, density, current length, and preferred level of maintenance.
How often should I change my hairstyle?
There is no fixed schedule. Consider a change when your current style becomes difficult to maintain, no longer suits your preferences, or you simply want a different shape, length, or finish.
