Getting a haircut can sometimes be a matter of style or convenience.

Sometimes, it's both.

Deciding where to get your hair colored, for both men and women, can be an even more difficult decision.

Everyone's hair is different.

Whether it is the shape of the head, texture or thickness of the hair, or the pace of its growth, most people have a preference as to who gets to take scissors and razors near their head.
