How Do I Explain the Type of Hair I Want to a Stylist?

I'm looking for a edgy type of hairstyle one close to Jack from the band All time low. But without the color. How do you think i should go about explaining this? Just show the stylist a picture or something?

Suggestion:

Good pictures are a really good beginning. In a progressive salon they will have books for you to look at…but if you can get your hands on a few photos of the same style it will help tremendously. THEN there is explaining any DIFFERENCES you want in your style verses the style in the book. Just make sure when you talk to your stylist that you make those 'differences' VERY plain. Communication is VITAL and is the mostly likely cause of styles that DON'T look like you want them to. NEXT however, you must know that everyone's hair is as different as the individual. As a hairstylist I often ran into 'especially women' who brought pictures of styles they wanted, BUT their particular hair 'wouldn't do that.' Sometimes the same cut can look like TWENTY different ones just due to the difference in texture etc…of the individual's hair. YOUR STYLIST has a responsibility to TELL YOU if your type of hair will not 'look the same' and to explain WHY. Sometimes, TOO, you may have to 'blow dry' a certain WAY or do a bit more than the 'person you are copying your style from does' IN ORDER to get THE SAME LOOK. This, too, should be a good stylists responsibility to tell you…but ALWAYS be an informed consumer and ASK lots of questions and make SURE your communication is understood BEFORE you leap.
Just some funnies regarding styling……..One woman (actually MORE over the many years) asked me to 'cut her hair curly.' And I have also had people come to me with styles meant for LONGER hair than my client had in the first place! Stylists DO have limitations…they cannot make your hair thicker than it is, longer than it is, or straighter than it is (without chemical treatment that is) and they certainly CANNOT make you LOOK LIKE the person whose style you are copying! LOTS come with pictures and really DO EXPECT to 'look' like the celebrity they are taking the style from!
Your question is an IMPORTANT one…thanks for putting it on yahoo!
