Optimum Cut and Color Results
A: While it's not necessary that the stylist who cuts your hair colors it (and in fact, some stylists prefer not to do color) it can be beneficial to have the same person handling all your salon needs.
Of course, some hair salons operate as a team and you will have different individuals performing different services depending on their specialty. In these settings, you generally become familiar with the whole group and hopefully you can develop a rapport with everyone.
Even so, there is no real NEED for having the same stylist (or even hair salon) handle both cuts and color for you. The services of cutting and coloring the hair operate under very different mechanics and processes, and skill with one service doesn't guarantee skill with another. The goal of optimum results relies more on esthetic sense than on familiarity. The familiarity can help when the esthetic sense is there.
