Luckily, you don\u2019t have to go it alone, you can book a virtual haircut with a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.styleseat.com\/blog\/top-10-virtual-services-on-styleseat\/\">professional<\/a> to guide you through the process. So, how does it work? We&#8217;ve gathered everything you need to know about virtual haircuts. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What is a Virtual Service?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>A <a href=\"https:\/\/www.styleseat.com\/m\/virtual\">virtual service<\/a> allows you to get step-by-step guidance from a professional without heading to the salon. Hosted over Face-Time or video conferencing tools like Zoom, virtual appointments allow pros to walk you through a beauty service from the comfort of your own home. Think of it like an interactive tutorial catered just for you. Plus, pros can answer questions on the fly and provide insider tips on things you might not think about <em>(like the proper handling of hair tools, cutting techniques, and more).<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How Does it Work?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>For most services you\u2019ll need to send your stylist a photo of the front, back, right, and left sides of your hair. The stylist will then look at those pictures and help guide your cut via live video.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What Services are Offered?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>If there\u2019s a hair service you\u2019d expect from a salon, there\u2019s likely a digital version of it. Professionals all around the country are offering step-by-step, personalized guides to trimming your own bangs, cutting another person\u2019s hair, coloring roots and more. Caitlin Collentine, a Pro from Wabi Sabi Beauty in San Francisco, was even featured in the<a href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2020\/04\/13\/technology\/coronavirus-virtual-haircut.html\"> New York Times<\/a> for helping one couple look chic again.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What Do I Need Beforehand?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>For most services you\u2019ll need a set of professional hair scissors or clippers, we don&#8217;t recommend settling for kitchen shears or your toddler\u2019s craft scissors. If you\u2019re having trouble finding these products online, hit up a community board like <a href=\"https:\/\/nextdoor.com\/\">NextDoor<\/a> and see if a neighbor would be willing to loan you their (sanitized and safely delivered) equipment. You\u2019ll also want a comb and a towel to drape over your shoulders to catch any excess hair.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How Much Does it Cost?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Depending on the service, these virtual cuts range from $30 to $70 and usually take 20-45 minutes. This will vary depending on the kind of service you want. Also, don\u2019t forget to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.styleseat.com\/blog\/should-you-tip-for-a-virtual-appointment\/\">tip<\/a>, your stylist will love you for it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Many professionals are offering virtual haircuts in lieu of regular appointments so it\u2019s a good idea to check and see if your faves are up for a digital get down\u2014<a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=batroDK82r0\">NSYNC style<\/a>.
