While your friendly neighborhood hair cuttery might specialize in hair, they may also offer beauty treatments like waxing, manicures, makeovers, cosmetic consultations, and more. It's worth checking into all the services they offer the next time you visit.

A person can't just pick up scissors and start cutting hair at a hair cuttery. In almost all states, stylists have are required to be licensed cosmetologists. A stylist should be willing to show you their license, and ideally it should be prominently displayed at their station.

Don't just take price into consideration when choosing a hair cuttery. You should also consider location, the general atmosphere of the business, ease of access, and -- even more important -- the experience of their stylists, especially with your kind of hair.
