Clients need to learn the difference between what they want their hair to look like and what is best for their hair. If you have no concern for the condition of your hair do all the chemical services you want. That is not a criticism it's a fact. If you constantly change the color from light to dark their will be consequences for your hair. It's OK but don't complain about fly aways, dryness or, at its worst, breakage.
I am putting this up because I have a client now that insists on going lighter and lighter in her color. Her hair looks good when blown out but when it is left to dry naturally it looks a mess.
I am always torn between giving people what they ask for and guiding them towards what is best.
I find women around my age, 37, and older want healthy hair. The younger women will do whatever to look like what they see in their head even at the expense of the health of their hair and scalp.
I only put this up to remind people that choices made in the hair salon have long term consequences. Make sure you have a stylist, like me, who will tell you the truth even if you don't like it.
That's a good stylist.

Dry Cutting
I have been cutting hair for nearly 15 years and have specialized in curly hair for about 8 or 9 . I have always cut curly hair wet. Over the last few years dry cutting curly hair has become much more popular.
I do not cut any hair dry. Not because I am opposed to it but because it doesn't work for me. I have clients with tight course hair and I have clients with loose soft wavy hair. I cut all of them wet. I admit it is a little harder cutting really tight hair but it doesn't seem any easier when done dry. I have seen some people that have had dry cuts and it doesn't look any better to me.
I am not trying to tell other stylists how to cut or curly haired people how to get their own hair cut. I am just saying that just because it doesn't work for you doesn't mean it doesn't work at all.
To say that all of any hair type should be cut the same way shows a lack of understanding of differences from person to person.
If you call a salon and they say how they are going to cut your hair before they see or touch it I would think twice. Always have a consultation.
