If your hairdresser is old hat, take the plunge and change.

If your hairdresser is old hat, take the plunge and change.

I've spoken to a number of women lately who've expressed concern that their hairstylist ignores what they say.

These women have been after change but the stylist has talked them out of it.

In all cases, the women would have responded well to a different style or colour. One woman moved on to another salon (her new style looks fab), the others are contemplating a move.

As we age, change our style and attitudes or simply seek a fresh look, there's nothing better than a new hairstyle. Go to your stylist with an open brief, tell them you want change and ask for their recommendations.

I recently worked with a client who is in the throes of changing her whole style: she's going from quite a conservative, practical look to bold, individual and funky.

I recommended that her hair was one of the first things she needed to change. It would be radically different for her but she was ready for it.

Sometimes, all our hair stylist needs is a little encouragement and they'll grab the opportunity. This is what they love, helping to enhance someone's overall appearance. But if you've got a stylist who is resistant to change, you may be best moving on.

I know it's really hard to move from a hair stylist if you're generally happy with what they do, you don't want to risk mucking things up, getting an awful haircut and then having to crawl back.

Do your homework, ask around. Check with other women which hair salon or stylist they go to. Change is wonderful. A great hair style can completely transform you.
