Working in a beauty shop we hear some funny things. Here is are a few things to give you some laughs and maybe some ideas on what not to say to a hairstylist.
1. "I don’t need a trim today I don’t have any split ends." OK sister you get a perm and have bleached hair and never get it trimmed so you most definitely DO have split ends. The best bet for your hair is to shave it off and start over!
2. "I want layers, just three of them." If I cut you three layers your hair is going to look like a Christmas tree. Not a good look to have!
3. "I used blackest black on my hair from Wal-Mart, then decided it was too dark so I used blondest blond to lighten it." The first mistake here is getting color from Wal-Mart, don’t do it! Secondly color will not lighten color. You need professional help and lots of prayer to remove blackest black color from a box.
4. "I want Miley Cyrus hair." This doesn’t even need explaining, just a bad choice all around!
5. "Cut around my ears and short on top, but leave the back long." This is and always will be a mullet. Yet another bad choice! And getting a mullet does not save you from looking like a redneck, it totally defines redneck!
6. "Just trim the ends." Sure I was planning on trimming the middle and leaving the ends, but if you insist on just the ends so be it. Really?
7. "I want this curly, voluminous hairstyle. I don’t want to blow dry or style it though." Hello!! Pictures of hairstyles have been worked on for hours. You are NOT going to wake up looking like a hair model. Get a blow dryer and some product and use them!
8. "My husband wants me to have long hair." Does your husband fix your hair? Did he marry you because of your long locks? If yes then you need to reevaluate. If no, do what you want with your hair. You are the one who fixes it and tends to it daily.
9. "It really scares me to get a haircut." Look, it’s hair, it is going to grow back!
10. "Ask my wife how she wants my hair cut." UGH!! You are a man, get a mans haircut. Your wife might want you to look like Brad Pitt, but just the hair won’t do it. Make a decision on your own how you like your hair!
These are just a few of the things I have heard over the years. Sometimes I just have to take a minute and look at the client to see if they are really serious when these things come out of their mouths!
hahah! Rachel! I love number 4! Also number eight is very clever. This is really funny because you obviously hear this a lot, and it's funny to get inside your head because you are so nice so your snappy come backs crap me up!
