When you're hiring a stylist or choosing a salon, the differences between mediocre and competent become obvious quickly. Look for evidence of product knowledge—someone who can explain why they're using this conditioner versus that one, or why your hair needs different treatment depending on what you've done to it before. Continuity matters: a stylist who books you with the same person, who keeps notes on your hair history, who admits when something won't work rather than overselling. In George's smaller market, stylists who prioritise this kind of detail build loyal followings because word travels fast.
