It has happened to all of us. We’ve let the hairdresser do their stuff and, despite having a consultation, when we look in the mirror the final result is not what we hoped for.
Yet, so many of us – including me – say nothing, pay up and leave the salon.

| Great cut by Michael Charalambous |
Well, it’s my hard-earned cash, so I now I have vowed always to say something. After all, we are all walking advertisements for their salon and a professional hairdresser wouldn’t want you to be unhappy.
If you ask for a trim, make sure your idea of 2.54cm (1in) is the same as theirs. Of course, if you can see the cut is going wrong at the time, stop them and ask them what they are doing. If they have cut it too short, there is not a lot you can do. But, if the style isn’t to your liking, they may be able to improve it.
Later, if you find you can't style your hair after you have washed it yourself, go back to the salon and ask for some guidance. If you feel that the cut could have been better tell them.
