Call up the salon and ask for the creative director, or even stop by in person.
Tell them you're thinking of a major change, and ask if perhaps you could speak to someone for a few minutes about it, and ask politely if the creative director himself/herself is the best person, of if they recommend the designer. A good salon won't mind talking to you.
Thanks for the suggestion. This seems to be the way to go. I have wondered if these places accept walk-ins.
I normally go to Great Clips or the like (and I'm a guy) so please forgive my ignorance. I'm used to going in and telling them how much to take off and then they do it.
Thought I would go to a "higher end" hair salon and get recommendations for a new hairstyle. Not quite sure what I want, but thought I would try something completely different than my currently bland hairstyle. Looking to get some suggestions from a professional on what options would look good on me.
Is this something I could expect at this type of place? Looking at a local salon, there are different options for haircuts that are ranked from designer to senior creative director. A senior creative director is about $20 more than a designer. Is there an advantage to going to a creative director over a designer when it comes to recommendations? Or would that be overkill for a guy and I should just go to the designer?
As a female, I've been to hauty tawty hair salons when I was young and dumb and paid extra for "creative stylists" and gotten the same hair cut that I did from the ones below them...

I think that's a great h/c you showed and as a former hairdresser don't think it would be that hard to achieve with a good cutter. Some hairdressers are great cutters and some are great with Color and styling would apply to either.
In my experience, most high end salons employee stylists who know their stuff, especially if they attend continuing education workshops. That said, what they think might look good on you or work with your hair may not be what YOU want. Find pictures of a cut you'd like so you can discuss if the style would work with your hair.
What I've always done is find the best salon in town, the one with the best reputation and book a cut with the 'junior stylist.' (their fee is usually way less than someone who's been there for years). There's a certain level of skill the more expensive places require, in my experience. I did that when I moved here to VT and have been with that stylist ever since. Of course, her fee has gotten pretty high over the years, but I am assured a great cut.

Title, mostly. Some people get creative with their titles To charge more.
If you want good men's haircuts, go to a BARBER SHOP - the kind with a stripy pole outside and old barbers named things like ”Joe” and ”Phil”. They cut hair all day long and their objective is to make the customer's haircut look good, not to get their artistic jollies.
