A women’s haircut begins with a consultation, followed by a wash, cut, and style. The consultation is important: it’s your opportunity to tell your stylist exactly what you want and how much time, realistically, you have to style your hair each morning. They may make suggestions based on what they think is possible for your hair type and what you’ve told them before progressing. When you’re happy with what they’re going to do, your hair will be washed, conditioned, cut and finished with either a rough-dry or blow dry to really show off your new style.

There are many variations of women’s haircut, but they’re based around five main types. These are: the blunt cut (below the shoulders and all one length), the layered cut (lengths of hair cut up at an angle creating a neatly layered effect at slightly varied lengths), the bob (above the shoulder, blunt or layered), the shag (extremely layered often with a razor), and the pixie cut (short, cut above the nape of the neck).

Word of mouth referrals are always good, but if you don’t have anyone who can recommend a good women’s hair stylist, go online and do your research. Look at verified reviews, qualification levels, and their portfolio (their social accounts are likely to show some of their best-loved cuts).

To maintain the style, length, and condition of your hair, try to go in for a maintenance haircut once every 6-8 weeks.

Yes, for significant changes like a major chop, new fringe, or style transformation, a consultation is strongly recommended. It ensures your stylist understands your vision, assesses your hair's condition, and sets realistic expectations before you commit.

The more information you can give your stylist about your hair goals, the more likely you are to leave the salon with a style you’re happy with. You’ll need to do this right at the start of your appointment. It’s a good idea to show them an image of the type of style you like, and explain what you do and don’t like about it. You should also tell them how much time you have in the morning to style your hair. Your stylist may well share their own advice for your cut. Listen, because if anyone knows what works for which hair type, face shape, and lifestyle, it’s an experienced hair stylist.
