Correct me if I'm wrong, but I thought you pay a hairdresser to cut, color, and style your hair the way you want. If so then how come my hairdresser refuses to dye my hair blonde? I am a brunette now and don't see why this is such an issue. I have been with this stylist for over 5 years and never had a problem before.

Sorry, I should clarify a little. This stylist has actually done highlights in my hair in the past... probably like 3 years ago. And it wasn't just like a few, it was a good majority of my hair.... we both agreed it looked nice. Then after about a year or more of that I did decide to go back to brown. My hair is in good shape.... she didn't say it would damage it; however, she didn't really seem to give a clear reason why not either. Thank you all for your suggestions!

hmmm im a stylist and there really isnt any reason that i wouldnt do it i mean there are some instinses where i wouldnt say if your hair was really dry and needed some conditioning treatments first then i would do it or... if you had a perm a few months ago then its really not wise to add bleach to your hair because if could turn to mush and fall out but if none of those apply to you, you need to find yourself another hairdressor our modow is "the customer is always right" all we can do it warn you of what could happen and do it for you!! find a new stylist!!

I work in a hair salon and I know that sometimes stylists will not do something that they think will damage your hair too much or that will look bad because after all if your hair looks bad it is bad advertising for them. I know some of the girls at my salon refuse to do a certain style because I will look to others like they are not good at their job. Maybe ask your stylist if she could put some chunky blond highlights in your hair instead of doing the all over color first and see how your hair responds to the treatment. Maybe after that she/and you will feel more comfortable with doing the whole thing blonde. Hope that helps.

I'm a hairstylist.
Yes, we usually should do what we're asked and paid to do. HOWEVER, if your hairstylist thinks it would have negative results, like damage your hair too much, or that the color would look bad, she should warn you first. Some might refuse all together. After all, you are paying her BUT you're also a walking advertisement for her as well.
Has she given you a reason?
Sometimes stylists will refuse if they aren't comfortable doing such a service. Turning a brunette blonde does require skill and she might be afraid of messing it up, in which case be thankful and ask her to recommend a colorist she likes.

You are a walking billboard for your hairdresser. It would appear that he/she assumes this look would not be good for you (although some shade of every color looks good on everyone) or feels that you would not put forth the effort to keep the look at its best. Blonde hair on a brunette is a lot of upkeep. So ask him/her why they won't color your hair the way you want them to -- and then ask them if they could suggest a compromise. Possibly a lot of blonde highlights would be a good meeting ground. Don't automatically ditch someone after five years without questioning their position.

I'm blonde and my stylist refused to dye my hair brown. She explained that since it was a huge change it might not be a good idea. If I wanted to go blonde again I would totally fry my hair. She may has the same issue. I would talk to her. If her explanation really isn't fair the go to someone else.

Yes, hair dressers work for their customers. However, they also have the right to draw the line & refuse to do something if they know it won't look good, will damage someone's hair or is something they don't feel skilled enough to do.
A hair dresser's work reflects on him/her no matter who's idea it was and can damage his/her reputation.
If it is a matter of not feeling skilled enough to do the work requested, then a hair dresser should refer the client to someone who can do it.

I havent gotten my hair reduce in many years. But the final time I went to a brand new individual. They had a man there doing his orientation. He washed my hair after which styled it. All the lady did was once reduce a one million/two" off the backside. When it got here time to pay I requested for my tip to visit the brand new man. My invoice was once $sixteen and I tipped him $20. She sat on her *** and did not anything. And he had instructed me he wasnt even getting paid for the day so I did it out of frustration over the lady being lazy.

technically when you think about it yeah they do but if they feel something isn't goung to work for your hair they might suggest not to do it. since you are a brunette and wish to go blond the bleach wil shed your hair and it might not come out the way you want it to. you should really consider that

She may feel that you trust her opinion enough and she may not think it's the right look for you. 5 years is long enough to know someone well even in a working relationship. She may also think she knows better because she is the professional. Just ask her why.

Find a new stylist. You are the one who is paying, and the one who has to wear your hair whatever style you choose.
If you want your hair blonde, then that's your choice.
