A hairstylist can cut, color, and style your hair—and be your unofficial therapist and confidant throughout the process. They can transform your crown from brunette to blonde (or vice versa) in a matter of hours—and take your day from bad to great in the same amount of time. A hairstylist will go to great lengths to turn braids into art—with not a single hair out of place—and boost your confidence to the point that you can’t help but strut out of the salon. A hairstylist is a hairstylist is a hairstylist—until you spend hours laughing, crying, and metamorphosing in their chair.
