No matter where and who the hairstylist is, one is trained to work on varying lengths of hair, no matter what age. Yes, stylists may choose to limit themselves to work with only men or only women, or then work on both. But that is not as important as is the ability to be creative, innovative and create a hairstyle that fits in perfectly with the client.
In the case of medium length hairstyles, while there is immense scope for creativity, yet it can be rather difficult and tricky, considering a little extra snip here and there can create a mess-of-a-style. Another important aspect the hair stylist needs to keep in mind is the growth of hair. In the initial four to five weeks the style looks great; but as the hair grows out, it tends to lose shape after approximately six to eight weeks, requiring the client to re-visit for a trim or re-shaping. And this is much to the distaste of the client.
There are not many stylists who have perfected the art of short to medium hairstyles. While during the initial phase the style looks attractive, very few stylists can give cuts that do not go out of shape for months together. Thus, when visiting a salon, one should ideally opt for easy hairstyles for medium length hair, so that it grows out rather evenly.
The problem lies with the more complicating styles. The more the layers, and the more complex the style, the more uneven is the growth. The result is that it grows out shabbily. And what style looked shapely initially begins to look rather messy.
However, no matter what one is recommended to visit a salon for a trim between eight to ten weeks after a cut in order to snip away the dead ends that make the hair look coarse, dry and lifeless. And for those who want to grow their hair out must follow this routine. The hair does grow faster.
