57. That's the best way to find a stylist.

If one is looking for a new stylist, ask someone with a great hairstyle!

Consistency is the key to success. You were right to mention it. After the second visit to the same stylist, when keeping the same style, the stylist should deliver what you want. It's not that hard if the stylist is a professional.

Not sure if this is true today but it use to be finding a reliable stylist and a really good dry cleaners when moving to a new area was of the utmost importance. I've rarely used a drycleaners in years.

I guess It's because I was a stylist, but I LOVE THIS THREAD and hearing all the stories! I have stories that will leave you in stitches and crying at the same time. You really do get to know everything about your clients and many become friends. I was lucky to have had a career I loved. AND I walked away from it 20 years ago.
