Do you find hairdresseres mostly catty and petty ?

Question

Everytime I go see a hairdresser she critisises my hair, so I blow dry them everyday, tie them up everyday, dye them black, they break easily, they always find something to say, Ohhhhhh you shouldnt do that ohhhhhh you shouldnt do this.. ARGH just cut my hair and STFU.

Answer 1

Well, in this case I have to speak up for my cousin who owns her own shop as a beautician. Your hairdresser is trying to tell you how to properly take care of your hair. When you do these things to your strands, it causes all kinds of damage. She's not meaning to be rude. If anything, she's trying to help you. From what you mentioned above, I'm surprised your hairdresser hasn't simply given up on you to be perfectly honest. You may not see anything wrong with what you're doing to your hair, but your hairdresser is the one who has to try and fix all of that damage. Let's try to make it a little easier on her, shall we? The next time you go to her, just listen to what she has to say. You might learn a thing or two. Like, oh I don't know.... How to be appreciative, for example?

Answer 2

I think they really love hair, that is why they picked that job. And you really don't want a hairdresser to cut your hair that hates her job, she won't be any good! So, to keep from being frustrated, I would take charge of the situation.

When you first sit down in the chair, say, " I KNOW that I mistreat my hair, so you don't have to tell me about how I mistreat it".

Then talk about something else benign, that doesn't get you bent out of shape. Getting a haircut should be pleasant! Or plead a headache and say you don't feel like talking. But be nice. Nice = better haircut IMHO.

Answer 3

She's not criticising your hair---she asks those questions to determine how well you take care of your hair and what kind of condition its in, so that she can recommend how you can make your hair healthier. I always look forward to going to see my hairdresser and have a great time while I'm in the chair.

It's part of their job to try to make conversation with you and to make your experience more enjoyable. If you prefer to spend your time in the chair in silence, just tell her something like: you're having a bad day or you have a headache and would prefer not to chat...or something along those lines. Otherwise, she'll assume that you want her to make small talk.

Answer 4

Take headphones and ignore them lol.

Any sort of small talk bothers me. I hate going to places to get a service and instead of servicing you they decide to pry into your life. I don't have much experience with hairdressers since i'm bald. But they shout baldy at me and laugh when I go past.

Answer 5

i am with you on this one! i have lovely long hair..and ok its not perfect ..but they tend to go on don't they? well yeah it can get dry. thats cos i have a freaking life hairdresser lady. yeah and whats more they always cut your fringe too short right above your eyebrows ..that is cos they are evil and they are all jealous of our pretty hairs cos they spend all their time obsessed with hair (oh dear lol..i am obsessed with hair but thats different!) and use all them products and bleach and irons on themselves.

Answer 6

No, I don't. I find most people stupid and when it comes to their hair they do the most ridiculous things with it and don't take care of it so what do you expect them to say????? They say you shouldn't do this or shouldn't do that because they are professionals and I'm sure get sick of people ruining their work!!!!!

Answer 7

I like my hairdresser cause she and I have been friends for years and she does not criticize me and you need to find another hairdresser if yours does this .

Answer 8

Never go to the same parlour twice.
