If you want to ensure that you’re happy with your finished haircut, it’s important to pay attention during the process. That way, you’ll be aware if your stylist starts to do something that you don’t like. It will also keep your head nice and straight, so it’s easier for your stylist to cut accurately. To make sure that you’re pay attention, it’s best not to read a magazine or play with your phone while you’re getting your haircut. While you should pay attention to what your stylist it doing, you shouldn’t try to do their job, which means you shouldn’t constantly be questioning what they're doing. Asking those kinds of technical questions can actually distract your stylist, and may affect their performance.  It’s okay to make small talk with your stylist as they work, but keep the conversation light so they can stay relaxed. You shouldn’t be afraid to voice your concerns if you think that your stylist has misunderstood what you want in the cut, though. Just make sure that you’re polite. You might say, “Hang on a second please. How much are you cutting off again?” While they are cutting your hair, your stylist may suggest certain products, such as shampoo, conditioner, mousse, and gel, that work best with your new style. Make sure that you pay attention to the recommendations so you can achieve the same look when you’re styling your hair at home.  Most salons sell the products that they recommend to clients, so you may want to pick up the items that the stylist suggests while you’re there. If you want time to think about what products you want to purchase, ask your stylist to write down their suggestions to ensure that you don’t forget the product names. If you want to recreate the same look that you leave the salon with, it's important that you understand to maintain it at home. In addition to the products that you should use, be sure to ask your stylist how to style the cut on your own. You may even ask for a walk-through of all the steps, so you're certain that you understand. Remember to inquire about how often you should get a trim too. While it's usually recommended that you cut your hair every four to six weeks, a short cut or a style with layers or bangs may require more frequent touch-ups. In some cases, even if you find a stylist that you're comfortable with and discuss all of your hair concerns and habits, you may wind up with a cut that you don't like. Don't be afraid to go back to the stylist and ask for a revision -- most stylists are going to want with you until you're fully satisfied. Be polite and calm as you explain what you don't like about the cut, though.  If you're not sure how to tell your stylist that you don't like the style, you might say, "This isn't really what I thought it would be." It's important to point out the specific things you don't like about the cut, so the stylist can correct them. For example, explain that your bangs are too heavy or there aren't enough layers.

One-sentence summary -- Pay attention. Don’t micromanage. Listen to stylist recommendations. Ask about maintenance. Speak up if you're disappointed.


Simply put, not all German shepherd puppy ears are created equal. For example, thin ears that do not have much cartilage may not be stiff enough to stand upright on their own. On the contrary, thicker ears probably have enough cartilage and muscle development to stand up more easily.  Ears that are widely spaced on your puppy's head may have a harder time standing upright. Smaller ears are more likely to stand up naturally than larger ears. Although it is the breed standard for German shepherds to have upright ears, it is not necessary that your own puppy meet the breed standard. It is your personal preference whether your puppy should meet this standard.  Due to their structure, upright ears are less prone to ear infections than floppy ears. Upright ears also do not have be cleaned as frequently as floppy ears (about once a month versus once a week).  Floppy ears tend to trap more moisture than upright ears, are therefore more prone to ear infections.  Be aware that not all German shepherd puppy ears will stand up. This is known as “soft ear” and could lead to ear problems.  Consult with your veterinarian or a German shepherd breeder if you are undecided on whether to tape your puppy's ears. Even with the option of taping, it is preferable for German shepherd puppy ears to stand up without assistance. You cannot wait indefinitely for your puppy's ears to stand up, though—if they have not stood completely up by the time he is 7 to 8 months old, they are unlikely to stand up at all.  Be mindful that it is not possible to have 100% certainty that your puppy's ears will stand up naturally on their own. Some puppy's ears will be upright on their own in as few as 8 weeks. For other puppies, it might take as long as 6 months before their eyes stand upright. Also, one ear may stand upright before the other.

If you're positive you're ready to accept the job, all you need to do is politely tell them yes. Try to be enthusiastic when accepting the offer, as you want the company to realize you're excited to be working there. For example, you might say, "Thank you very much for offering me a position. I'd like to accept the offer with your company, and I look forward to working with you." Even if you accept immediately, always ask for the offer in writing, too. That way, you have all the details to refer to. Plus, offers in writing are more binding than verbal offers. You might say, "Thanks again for the offer. Can I get the details in writing so I can review them more thoroughly?" Even if you verbally accept the offer, you need to do it in writing, too. You can send a letter or an email, depending on your preference, but you just want to make sure that you have it all down on paper. For instance, you might write, "Dear Mr. Roberts, Thank you again for offering me a position at Mechanics Forever. I appreciate the offer, and I would like to formally accept it in writing. Let me know if there is anything further I need to do." Once you get your offer in writing, you're likely to have questions. Your potential boss may not have the answers, so check in to see who you can call or email with questions about your benefits. You might say, "Who can I check in with if I have questions about my benefits?"
