Using High Heat
"There are so many styling tools on the market nowadays. It's important that you have good ones if you want to have great-looking hair. A good hot tool will have temperature controls, auto shutoffs and will be durable as well as easy to operate. I recommend tools that utilize infrared technology because the technology works to lock the moisture into the hair strands rather than drying the hair out. Along with having the right styling tools, make sure to keep the tool at a lower heat to maintain great-looking hair. This is especially true for fine hair which damages easily. While typically hot tools may be set a bit higher for coarser hair, it's equally important to realize that all hair can be susceptible to temperatures which are too hot and this goes for coarse hair as well. Always consult with your stylist to ensure your settings are correct for your hair type." -Gina Rivera, celebrity hairstylist and founder of Phenix Salon Suites

Not Realizing That Specific Hairstyles or Colors Take Lots of Upkeep and Maintenance
"A lot of time clients see Pinterest or quick 15-second before and after hair transformations and assume that is the end. What those photos or videos often don't mention is how often they have to come back for touch-ups or maintenance. Your stylist should give you a heads-up about what is involved before starting any service during the consultation." -Gregga, celebrity hairstylist and owner of Gregga LA salon
