About This Quiz

Going to the salon can be stressful, especially if you’re new to your stylist or have decided to try a brand new look. How do you know if a ‘do is right for you? You can always choose a stylish cut you see online or in a magazine, but what if it’s not right for your face shape? Or you can ask your stylist to recommend what they think would be ideal, but what if they get it wrong? There’s nothing worse than leaving the salon with a haircut you hate — your hair is your ultimate accessory, and when it doesn’t look right, it can really bring you down.

That’s why, in our humble opinion, we believe the best hairstyle is one that is totally in tune with your personality. Do you have what it takes to rock an edgy pixie cut? Are you hoping to make a statement with a signature look? Or do you just want to find a face-flattering hairstyle that looks good and is easy to style?

Whatever your style goals are, we’re here to help you achieve them. Answer the following questions about yourself (be honest!), and we’ll tell you what haircut best suits your one-of-a-kind personality.

It's Saturday night! When it comes to making plans, how do you typically operate?
I make plans a week ahead of time and confirm them the night before.
I decide what to do at the last minute — otherwise, I might miss out on something.
I don't worry about it. I'll find something to do, and if I don't, I'm cool with staying home and binging a good show.
I like to save Saturday nights for myself and use them to practice self-care.
