Here are some of the tips which should be considered before getting a hair cut

First of all understand your face structure composition then have a consult with your hair stylist is the best way to ensure you a perfect cut. Your stylist will take into account your face shape, lifestyle, hair texture and hair condition, among other important factors, before making a recommendation.

Don't let your stylist experimenting with your hairs. Because you are not sure that experiment is going to yield a positive result only. Their might be chances when experiment will fail and then you have to compromise with your looks. So always prefer the hair cut that suits you.


Each of us has a specific face structure that dictates which styles will look best on us. You can identify your face shape—round, oval, square or long—by looking directly into the bathroom mirror and then you can look for certain tips stated below:

If your face is round, you want to minimize fullness, and the most flattering styles will keep hair off your face. This will emphasize your cheekbones, jaw line and eyes. You can wear long or short hair, but it's often advisable to add layers to create volume at the top of your head, which elongates and slims the face. Make sure hair isn't too full on the sides, as this will only serve to accentuate the roundness you're trying to downplay.

With an oval face shape, you can go short or long, but keep your hair an even length. Too many layers create excessive volume. Oval faces tend to be on the small side, and high-volume hair can be overpowering. Long, wispy bangs are generally flattering.

If you have a long face, avoid the popular bob hairstyle, which draws attention to facial length—particularly in the chin area. Also stay away from short bangs and excess volume on top. You can create volume on the sides with a layered cut, which will produce the illusion of fullness.

If you have a square face, don't cut your hair too short. Layers, accompanied by volume on the top and sides, soften your look. Length in the back generally works, as do bangs—as long as they're soft and subtle.
When you consult with your Stylist remember few things:
Your Hair stylist will show you variety of hair style snaps so that you can choose a hair cut. Listen carefully about each style and how much maintenance it will require. Make clear about your daily routine to your stylist and how much time you are willing to spend on your hair. A good stylist will ask about lifestyle: whether you are active in sports, your workplace dress code and how hectic your morning schedule tends to be. If, for example, you have a very short period of time to get ready for work and march the family out the door, a style that requires 1 hour work will add stress in your daily schedule.
If you that certain cut you already have which don't suit you. Don't be shy and let your stylist know about it. Be clear about your concerns. If you feel that your concern are being neglected then talk to salon manager or change salons.
Make sure your stylist—particularly if this is your first appointment—examines your hair before rushing you to the shampoo station. She needs to assess your hair's condition when it's dry and styled "your way." Agree in advance how much she will cut off before scissors approach your head. The actual number of inches isn't the issue; it's the visual acknowledgment that counts. Ask her to demonstrate with her fingers how much she plans to cut so you can intercede before any final decision is made.
Terminology can present another problem. Stylists have their own vocabulary and lingo, and their definition of "choppy," "chunky" or "one layer" may mean an entirely different concept to you. To avoid language barriers and translation troubles, tell the stylist in your own words—not the fancy terms you've picked up from a magazine—what you want. Even better, bring her a photo of the look you want—or even what you don't want. You may like one model's bangs and another model's layers, so multiple pictures also help communicate your desires. The more information—visual or otherwise—that you provide, the easier it will be for your stylist to envision the cut you seek.
