Image & Time - Doyle Designed, The Salon Committed to Change
Not taking time for
yourself allows everyone around you to be taken care of, but leaves
little time to address any of your needs, especially your image.
Let’s face it, not
only do you not take time for yourself, you often do not take time
to update your current look. Whether it is professional, or
personal, you tend to get stuck in an image that has not changed in
many years. Having an image consultation on your current look could
spark experiencing a new approach to your image.
Make an appointment
with your stylist to talk about a change of your current style. Most
stylists will, or should, welcome the opportunity to take the time
to properly consult with you on the possibilities of a new style.
Many times we will stay with a stylist for too long.
Unless they are
changing your look on a regular basis, every 6 months to a year, you
may be in a rut. It might be a perfect time to go have a
consultation with another Stylist who may see you in a different
way. It could be the best 15 minutes of time you have spent,
allowing you to look forward to a change of color, cut, and or
styling techniques.
Even minor changes
to a cut, or color system, will make you feel good. For example a
lot of people who have curly hair do not know how to style their
hair in a curly look, so they continue to straighten their hair.
Damaging the hair with all types of heating elements that only dry
out curly hair and leave the strand looking rough. An alternate
styling technique could give you some diversity, and create a look
that would allow you to have a different style for a more casual
occasion.
A beauty industry
professional is someone that can help you to understand the factors
to consider in achieving a personalized style for you. Some of the
factors to be considered are face shape, hair texture, hair color,
and the time constraints you have for styling your hair. The theory
on face shapes is to make the face appear more balanced; the oval
shape is the desired shape, and most flattering.
A seasoned
professional will adjust the cut to improve the visual balance of
your face shape. Do not under estimate the impact of your
silhouette, the side view, people see you from every angle, and
often this is out of balance. If you desire a new look, alert your
stylist and let them guide you to an updated look.
Take the time to come in early to look
over stylebooks, and make the stylist aware of what appeals to you.
Then let the stylist guide you to the look that would be the right
one for you.
