Or are they just jealous? Last edited: Jul 26, I think some are hair haters but the majority really believe they r doing the right thing by cutting so much. Yoshi Well-Known Member. Because their nucking futs. That's why. They cut off too much because they are jealous haters.. MsChelle Well-Known Member. Some do it out of spite and jealousy. Some I think really don't know any better and are just used to hacking hair off to a certain length. That's why a "professional" will never put a pair of scissors near my head.
Looks like a lot of stylist are fixated on evening out your length. I for one, would love it if stylist asked me before cutting so much off. They already know how long it takes to this length, and it's heartless to watch it go. Ironically, the best trim I've gotten was from a white woman.
She touched my hair, noticed and asked about my layers. She commented on some damage she saw and asked if I had some trouble straightening parts of my hair. I was She told me that others had neglected to trim the layers, which is why I was having so much trouble. Then she told me she needed to trim an inch, and that's all she trimmed. I was really impressed. All stylist need to do this. I think they cut too much in one area and keep cutting until all the hair is even.
Unfortunately, the client ends up losing a lot of progress because the the stylist tried to correct a mistake. My stylist is good but she will murder your progress if she makes a tiny mistake. I'm mentally preparing myself for my Dec trim I'll tell her that I want a half inch trimmed so I'll probably lose about 1. If I tell her that I want about 1. I think stylist may cut off too much hair for the following reason, which have nothing to do with "hating"!!!
Mishaps happen do to miscommunication -Many stylist have a different perceptions on how much an inch or half an inch is Even though many cutting combs have the inches marked on them. That's why it's so important to show your stylist how much using a visual, such as your fingers you want cut off.
Never say to a stylist "just cut the split ends" or " Just cut the bare minimal", because each stylist interpretation of this may differ. Stylist are trained to style!!! If you feel that you are not being heard LEAVE, you are not obligated to get your hair serviced by someone with whom you feel uncomfortable with. I read so many post about "BAD" stylist, but if clients were more vigilant in assessing whose chair they are sitting in before they sit there these post would decrease greatly.
I am getting my hair relaxed this week and for the first time in my life -I'm going to instruct her not to cut anything at all.
I've been wondering why I am not getting anywhere and then it dawned on me that these people keep trying to even me up. I'm so over it! The answers quite simple they are all Satan's little helpers. I assume to make all the hair the same length as the hair at the nape? They use the bottom hair as the guide and end up cutting many inches off because many peoples napes are a bit shorter than the rest of their hair.
If they would part from ear to ear instead of the base of the hairline, I'm sure so much wouldn't be trimmed off. But I don't fool with them anymore lol. Minty Well-Known Member.
Thank you Charm. Yup I said it. Once they lift the hair and see how broken and uneven it is they will want to trim it when they call it dead ends it is just nice speak for breakage.
I think it depends on the stylist, so I would choose "All of the above. BostonMaria Well-Known Member. They're scissor happy. HijabiFlygirl said:. It takes too much time and I need to charge more for long hair! She kept saying my hair grew fast but I saw none of that progress. I am now blessed with a stylist that absolutely takes pleasure in seeing my hair grow and strive and she trims the bare minimum!
The only issue is that she's about miles away! I visit there at least 2 -3 times a year. It's worth it! Mleah New Member. Get a Creaclip and a Splitender and do it yourself. Only you knows exactly what you want..
Mleah said:. And how long did you stay in this woman chair before you figured out she did not have your best interest ie. I don't understand. That's like if I sit in a stylist chair and this has happened and she tells me, "I'm natural too, but you should really let me press your hair.
It'll be prettier" then I know she doesn't have my best interest at heart ie. Janet' Well-Known Member. I would say that at different times, all of the reasons above could be the answer The last stylist I had only trimmed off what was necessary. She was very good at letting you know how much she would trim off and would let you look in the mirror while she cut it if you wanted to.
This stylist hair was between bsl and mbl and alot of her clients had long hair. But since I do my hair myself I don't go to her anymore. But if I every go to another stylist I will make sure that she has heathly hair that is longer than sl. RedVelvet New Member. Sometimes in defense of the stylist they are truly cutting off ALL the damaged hair.
You may not realize the back is so damaged it needs to be cut that short but it DOES need it. I went to the salon with my sister the other week to get her 1st hair cut after her HHJ. While she's gained great length she loves to wear her hair down and he loves to flat iron more than once a week..
I do chit chat while she is cutting. But then I go silent when she is styling because I am trying to pay attention to how she gets my hair to stay wavy for DAYS. I always look forward to getting my hair cut because my stylist is just such an awesome person!
I think you can usually tell if your client wants to engage in conversation. A good hairdresser will be a strong communicator, not restricted to purely talking but listening and reading body language also. Interesting blog topic! A good hairdresser should also be able to read body language!
This really hits home. I had a hairdresser whose work I loved. I trusted her completely. She kept meticulous notes and diagrams about each time she did my hair. But she would not shut up. And I mean, I could barely talk. I tried having conversations, but she was very opinionated, and I did not always agree with her opinion. In fact, I felt offended by some comments regarding my infertility she noticed my hair falling out and growing back in due to IF meds, so she was one of the few people who knew a bit of what was going on.
Now I go to an old high school friend, and we can have a full conversation. She showed me some new techniques on fixing my hair. I miss my old hairdresser but I do NOT miss her commentary!
By the way, I know people who have quit working in the salon because she drove them crazy. She actually is in a corner by herself, the owner literally remodeled so that there were dividers between her and the other hairdressers. She must be a great stylist but she sounds like a nightmare to work with! For years my stylist was a bestie! By that time there were four or six of us and we were girls on a mission. But she moved and now I have a chatty cathy who prattles on about her kids and her husband, etc.
Make her move back. I lovelovelove my job. And I love getting to meet and chat to the amazing people I meet. But you know, too much of a good thing…. Love to hear from the stylists Ashley, thanks for your comment. I am naturally a chatty person but sometimes i just do hair. There is a lot of things that go into making a great stylist and doing great hair is only one of them.
I so agree Mindy, a good hairdresser has to read people, balance emotional expectations, manage a business and be a skilled and creative stylist. I think it makes for a better experience in the long run! Very lucky having your BFF as your hairdresser! I agree, talking to your hairdresser builds that relationship where they know your taste and personality and can suggest styles to suit you.
One of the main reasons I put off going to the hairdresser for as long as possible is chattiness. Beg your pardon? That is frustrating Dee. That way you can both get on with it and no-one feels they need to force conversation.
All that money to have to entertain a person I am paying. I am experimenting with doing my own hair at home now. I will find a way. You are right, Dee, they do not pick up on signals. Actually we do.. Believe it or not stylist pick up on every signal you give.
As long as your not rude about it. I was only just thinking about that last Wednesday when I was at my hairdressers. I normally chat with Jane, but I had been on the go, so not long after I stopped I started yawning continuously and my conversation dried up.
I think the talks we have allows Jane get to know me better so she can suggest new ideas that will not only suit me, but also my personality. Your email address will not be published. Save my name, email, and website in this browser for the next time I comment.
