It weirds me out every time I go get a haircut and try to explain what I want. I sound so…vague and painterly. I need a language scalpel or a sniper bullet chambered in the correct dialect.

Guess I’ll just keep using that photo from 10 years ago…

This is why I take in a Pinterest board with like 20 pictures 🥲

The trick is to write down what you say when it works and recite that back the next time you go.

That is unless you have been saying the same thing and they don’t understand.

Then as you say the photo is the next best thing!

Maybe get your hair person to explain what they did, so you can use those terms the next time?
