Wash your hair: Make sure your hair is clean and free of any product build-up, as this can make it more difficult for the stylist to cut your hair.

Dry your hair: It is best to have your hair cut when it is dry, as this will allow the stylist to see the natural shape and texture of your hair. If you have thick, curly hair, you may want to blow dry it straight to make it easier for the stylist to work with.

Gather pictures of haircuts you like: Bring pictures of haircuts that you like to show your stylist. This will give them an idea of the style you are looking for and help them understand your preferences.

Be specific about what you want: Be clear and specific about the type of haircut you want. If you have any concerns or specific areas of your hair that you want the stylist to focus on, be sure to let them know.

Be open to suggestions: While it is important to have an idea of what you want, be open to suggestions from your stylist. They may have ideas for a haircut that will suit your face shape, hair type, and lifestyle.

Arrive with clean hair: It is best to arrive with clean hair for a haircut, as this will allow the stylist to see the natural shape and texture of your hair more clearly. If you have thick, curly hair, you may want to blow dry it straight before your appointment.
