At the salon

I’m growing it out, so just a trim, please — only the split ends.

Nothing dramatic today — just a trim to clean it up.

The sides are fine — just take a little off the top.

It’s getting heavy up here, so take a little off the top, maybe an inch.

You can shape it up, but not too short — I have a meeting this week.

Last time it came out shorter than I wanted, so not too short today.

My hair is really thick — can you thin it out a bit so it’s lighter?

It puffs up in summer, so can you thin it out around the back?

The front still looks good, so just tidy up the back and the neckline.

I can’t see it myself — could you just tidy up the back where it’s grown out?

I saved a reference — can you do it like this photo, especially the layers?

My hair is a similar type — can you do it like this photo for the bangs?

You can add some layers, but leave the length — I don’t want it shorter.

I’m growing it for an event, so leave the length and just shape the ends.

It’s mostly around the temples — can you cover the gray to match my color?

Just the roots are showing — can you cover the gray without changing the shade?

Keep the top as it is, but a bit shorter on the sides, please.

It’s sticking out over my ears — a bit shorter on the sides and around the ears.
