Decided to start growing my hair out. previously did the ‘im a dude, shave it’ haircut all the time.

Would one be best to change from the usual man’s barbershop to a salon, or a place that would focus more on women’s hair? I really don’t want anyone to screw around with it this time around or cut it short.

    Tips from someone who went from short hair to long hair during COVID and has stuck with it. Barber shop vs salon doesn’t necessarily matter. You need someone with experience with your hair type. I have curly hair that doesn’t really show as curly when short. The barber shop that I had been going to for years botched my haircut because the barber wasn’t as familiar with longer hair and less familiar with curly hair.

    My wife asked her stylist for a recommendation for a stylist that was familiar with my hair type. That made all the difference. I’ve been seeing this same stylist for 3 years now

      yeah this is the kinda thing I wanted to hear. I’m not even sure what my long hair type is like. I know shaved

      I just left the ‘young Beiber’ hair and it’s entering the early stages of mullet/hockey helmet. wanna get on top of before it becomes crazy.

      thanks for your input!
