“A woman who cuts her hair is about to change her life.” —Coco Chanel. We’ve all made the mistake of walking into the hair salon with a picture of Jennifer Aniston or Taylor Swift and walking out looking like…well, not like the picture. But here’s the hard truth, ladies: It’s not fair to your stylist or yourself to have unreasonable expectations of what your “dream” haircut will look like in reality. Understanding your face shape and your hair’s texture and type is key to choosing the right style for you — and guaranteeing you’ll walk out of the salon happy with the result.
