He says, “Should we cut the ends? »
We understand:we cut 1/2 cm and that's it. It can't be seen, it's just a matter of boosting the health of the hair.
He means:it's actually a gesture that shouldn't be very visible. It is a question of removing the damaged part of the hair, within a limit of 2.5 cm at most.
We agree:if he judges that the hair is very damaged, he may be tempted to cut 20 cm. So, if you absolutely want to keep your lengths, even shot, we insist:we are here to cut 2 cm, no more.
He said, “Shall we refresh the cup? »
We understand:it won’t do much, the front cut is neater.
It means:we’re all good! This is to resume the previous cut without major changes. Why ? Because our cut was perfect! Another option, rarer:he lacks ideas.
We agree:if we want to keep his haircut, we make sure that we are talking about the same thing (a doubt? We ask him to describe what he thinks, better, we show a photo). Want to change your mind? We are waiting for his proposals, and we do not hesitate to look elsewhere if we do not feel inspired.
He says:“How do you want it, the brushing? »
We understand:rare? Medium rare ? We don't know! A blow-dry is a blow-dry, isn't it?
It means:blow-drying is the ultimate shaping of the hair. We thus speak of straight brushing (the hair has the same appearance from root to tip), tucked in (the tips are rounded towards the neck), out (they go outwards), or even natural (the hair is just combed and dried with the brush).
We agree:we clearly describe what we want to obtain (even if it means showing, here too, a photo). You can also leave with a drying, without brushing. And we dare to refuse lacquer to avoid the mummy effect.
