Haircut From Hell: With A Side Order of Homophobia and Transphobia

Gemme · 11-02-2013, 11:46 AM

Well, I finally found someone who can cut my hair and I don't hate it. I'm so damn finicky and my hair's so damn ornery that that's about as good as it gets. Plus she does hella nice color. The best I've had. That there alone is a good enough reason to still with this salon.

BUT

My stylist said something that makes absolute sense. She said, "I'll do anything for money."

Not like that, you pervs.

Basically, few get rich being stylists, so when you make a customer happy, you're investing in your future. There is not a valid reason for anyone to turn down a paying customer that's not abusive.

For the record, my worst haircut in my life came from Fantastic Sams. Those cheapy brand name shops just don't get the job done, imo.

As someone who works for one of those *cheapy brand name shops* it works for me. The real issue here is people being treated less than and honestly it doesn't matter where someone goes Salon Poof or Cost Cutters. Everyone has to start somewhere and for some committing to a brand is what works for them. It works for me and I do everything within my power to keep myself up to date with current trends. I get asked often why I am not out on my own as my skills and knowledge are rather extensive. My reply, I don't have to worry about anything but showing up to work and keeping all of my clients happy...

**end rant**

I am sorry so many of you have had such bad experiences while trying to get a haircut.
