Going to a stylist tomorrow except I am really unsure what would look good on me?
Should I just be like surprise me and provide a rough understanding of what I want.

I would advise not doing that.
Start poking around on Pinterest or some other sites. Find a photo of what you want, show it to them and ask “can you make it look like this?”
Photo references are 100x better than verbal descriptions. And it’s wise to not say “surprise me” to a stylist you don’t know very very well.
Yeah, true. Really nervous honestly given my entire life my hair style has been buzzed off cause my dad. Than I just let it grow it out. So I have no idea what even works and I'm really nervous.
I second this. Stylists have a tendency to give newly out trans women feminine men's cuts instead of women's cuts if left to their own devices. Going in there with clear ideas and expectations means they won't fall In to that trap.
I'm going to a trans friendly place
I got curtain bangs and absolutely love how they frame my face
This is a wonderful step towards self positivity, and I applaud you!
I agree with others and will say find a hairstyle for you, or experiment! The only thing I know for sure i want for myself is I want to go blonde, but other than that, I'm not sure. So I'm just gonna keep it in a ponytail, grow it out, and when I have the fun money, go get my hair colored and nails done.
Good for you for doing for yourself! Keep it up! We are all rooting for you!
I promise, I'm not being condescending. I really am proud of you.
