When someone comes into me for a haircut I will do everything in my power to be sure that I understand what they are looking for, even if it means having a 1/2 consultation to be sure we are on the same page.
Please by all means, tell your stylist if you don't like something about what she/he has done to your hair. Most places have a week for a so called grace period, if you don't like something about your cut or color, call. It is easier to fix a haircut than it is your reputation as a stylist. Also, if you don't like the way it looks while you are in the chair say so and don't leave until it is right or else don't pay the service until it is right.

As always... just my .02...

I'm pretty easy-going, so when I get the itch for a new style I just go in and tell them the approximate length I would like and the amount of time I want to spend on it daily. Then I tell them just to surprise me...lol As long as it's within my length and maintenance preference, I'm totally cool with letting them do whatever they think would fit me best, or if they just want to try out a new style/method, I'm a pretty willing guinea pig.
