The celebrity hairstyles that you see on TV or in your favorite magazine may be some of the newest, latest hairstyles that there are. You may wonder how they can come up with some of the styles that they do and if you can get the same looks from the stylist down the street. The answer is that you can, if you know what to ask and what to look for in the style.

When you start looking at the latest celebrity hairstyles for the first time, you will notice that there are many to pick from. If you can, you should look at the styles and celebrities that have a face close to your in shape and color. This may seem hard to do, but just take a minute and see if there are any that resemble you, even in the smallest way. You might be surprised at what you find.

Once you have picked a few of the celebrity hairstyles that you like, take them with your to the hairstylist. Have her take a look at the styles that you have and see what she thinks. Chances are that there is at least one in the bunch that will look nice on you. Once you have decided on a style, you may want to ask your stylist about hair colors that will work for you. If you have dark hair, then going blonde may not be the best idea for you. The stylist will be able to tell you what they think of color changes and how you might be able to accomplish them. Highlights can even add something that a complete change in style may not be to.

If you are going to try one of the latest celebrity hairstyles, you may find that there are many other people who are trying it also. This may be a good reason to decide to go with a different style. You may not want to look like the rest of the people that you may see every day. Even changing the color may not be enough if there are too many people wearing the same style of hair in your area.

Take the time to find a style that looks good on you and that will help you to make the most of what nature gave you. If you are not sure which of the latest celebrity hairstyles is really for you, wait and make sure that you are looking at all of the options. You are the one that is going to have to live with the hair that you get, so you want to make sure that it's what you will like in the long run and that you are not just following a trend.

Updo Hairstyles for Long Hair

4:10 PM No comments

You have straight hair and you are ready for an updo or "long hair" service and you go to a full service salon and what - they don't offer "long hair" service. Guess its not so full service after all. So you go to another beautician and they don't know what to do either. Why is that? Some of the reasons hairstylists don't offer "long hair" or updo service is because:

None of their clients have long hair
Never learned how
Takes too long
Learned, tried it, but got out of practice and forgot
Too confusing

To the hairstylist, watching is easy. But when you are actually doing the work, it becomes confusing. It's hard for a hairstylist to get and keep clients. If you are able to offer total hair services, including long hair, then you'll be keeping new clients instead of sending them away. One way to help you get over some of the points listed above is to practice on a wig or mannequin. When you are in-between appointments, this will offer you practice to gain confidence and allows you to display your work to your customers.

If you are good at long hair, then you need to be the hairstylist that your competitors send their customers to. Advertise that you do long hair. There are plenty that don't do long hair and this approach may get you the client list you need.

Let the bridal shops know you are available, along with the formal dress shops. Girls going to prom always want fancy hairstyles. Offer your services free to the bridal show as a promotion for your business. This helps you gain more updo customers and helps the bridal shop. Win-win.

You can also create a photo album of the mannequins you have been practicing on, or on customers. This will give prospective customers your ability and creativity level. Another idea is to work with a clothing store on their special event or sale days - and offer your services to attract customers. You can make these books up inexpensively with a digital camera and color copies. Have them bound with some of your business cards and ask if you can display them at the bridal shops.

Complimentary cards are very good, too. You can offer a discount on the back of the card. When a client gets their hair done, then give them some cards to hand out when they are asked where they got such a cute hairstyle. This works especially well at high schools before proms and dances. As always, if they don't need long hair services, they will probably pass the card onto a friend.

How much should you charge or expect to pay for long hair or updo services? Well, its different all over the country, but in general, the price should be at least $5 over the normal hairstyle whether it's a shampoo and blowdry. Be prudent in your pricing as if you get a client that will only require 15 minutes for a braid or a quick updo, then you may not want to charge more.
