I went through this recently, and I'm still not satisfied. I have to remind myself how long it took to find a good hairdresser where I used to live.
Actually, I've been appalled at the hairdressers I've tried recently. I've been to SEVEN in the past year. Several charged more than my previous hairdresser, yet they weren't nearly as good. And some of them didn't use clean brushes and combs when a new customer sat down. The brushes should be disinfected for each customer. That is absolutely disgusting. YOu can catch lice and fungal infections, among other things, from dirty brushes.
I think it's best to ask friends whose hair styles you like to recommend a hairdresser. And ask for a hairdresser who specializes in your type of hair. For example, some hairdressers may be good with short hair but not long hair, and vice versa. So, when you see someone whose hair is a lot like yours, and if you like the way their hair looks, ask them who their hairdresser is.
