The answer is that many stylists prefer washed hair. The reason for this preference is that hair is easier to work with when it is wet. Wet hair is more pliable, which makes it easier for the stylist to see the natural shape of the hair and make precise cuts. When hair is dry, it can be more difficult to manage, as it may be frizzy or have an uneven texture. Additionally, cutting hair when it is wet allows the stylist to see how it will fall once it dries, which can impact the final look of the cut. If a hairstylist advises that they prefer their client to wash their hair before a hairstyling appointment or big event, this should be accepted since there are merits in showing up on time for an appointment with a clean, fresh-looking look every time!
