• you want color. Most barbers do not do a great deal of color services, so you'll likely find better results from a stylist.
• you're looking for a more fashion forward style. A stylist is normally more aware of current trends than a barber.
• you want a change. During the consultation, a stylist will often make suggestions for a style that will flatter your features better.
• you need product. Salons frequently carry a greater selection of hairstyling products than barbershops. Stylists are more likely to be well-trained on the types and use of the products as well.

The Shampoo
Most salons are going to shampoo your hair before trimming. This is a calming and relaxing experience. They’ll do a thorough cleansing using high-quality shampoo, getting deep into the roots and massaging your skull. In some cases they may even use a stronger cleanser. Think of it as a deep clean in between your normal shampoo regimen. It's a little piece of heaven!
