For many years I had a hard time finding the right hairstyle and, more importantly, the right person to create that hairstyle for me. I have really thick, curly hair and if you share my fate then you know exactly how picky it can be, as well as how skilled the stylist needs to be in order to cut it right. Of course as a woman with longer hair it is easier to get away with a less skilled stylist but if you're a guy and you just want a regular length cut it will be a real quest.
Well luckily I found a guy that used to work in New York for Frederick Focai. He's extremely talented, and after having known him for so long I have been able to learn much about how he approaches creating a hairstyle using scientific methods and geometry.
A skilled stylist is able to evaluate your geometric features in a holistic way. What's the shape of your head? Your face? How does your hair respond to bending or alteration? How does it hang and occupy space? Is it heavy or light? These are some of the questions you have to ask yourself as well so you know exactly what you want for your new hairstyle.
