Finding the Right Hair Stylist

Finding a hair stylist shouldn’t feel like a gamble. Here’s how to choose someone who suits your hair, your style, and your expectations - without endless scrolling or awkward first appointments.
Finding a hair stylist should not be this hard
Yet somehow, it usually is.
You scroll.
You screenshot.
You DM.
You wait.
You book and hope for the best.
Sometimes it works.
Sometimes you leave thinking, “Yeah, I will not be coming back.”
Finding a stylist is not just about who is popular. It is about who is right for you.
What actually matters when choosing a hair stylist
Before you book, it helps to be clear on a few things.
1. What style or service are you actually looking for?
Be specific.
Not just “braids” but knotless, feed-in, boho, natural finish, low tension.
The clearer you are, the easier it is to find someone who regularly does what you want.
2. Does their work look consistent?
A strong stylist does not just have one viral post. Their work looks good again and again.
Look for:
- Similar styles across different clients
- Clean parts and neat finishes
- Hair that still looks healthy after styling
Consistency matters more than one perfect photo.
3. Are they easy to find and book?
If it is hard to work out:
- What services they offer
- Where they are based
- How to book
That friction usually carries over into the appointment too.
Good stylists make it clear how to work with them.
