Where my thick haired girls at?? Every time I go to a salon they never set aside enough time for me. The last time I did, the stylist’s next client was waiting by the end of my appointment and they had TWO stylists “rough drying” my hair. I HAVE CURLY HAIR. I left looking like Hagrid and cried in my car. 🙄

[KTEM]

Love your hair and nails! Your whole look here actually! Hilarious and entertaining video yet again 😁

I’m naturally dirty blonde and was looking to go lighter like I’ve done in the past- this lady had the nerve to tell me going blonder wouldn’t suit me with my skin tone and that she’s gonna do balayage instead... I was too speechless and just let it happen, I came out with brassy stripe hair and now I’m getting it fixed next week before a wedding I have to go to lol

[ehmry]

Having a burned scalp is traumatic ... I can't trust anyone with my hair now ( especially that I have super curly and fuzzy hair) because someone had burned my scalp to the point that I had to see a dermatologist 😶

[jocelynroca]

A good idea for consultations for us shy people, Would be to write down our questions we want to ask the hair stylist 💁

[brookekilgore]

The $450 for the weird hair that was nothing like they asked for I would have gone FULL Karen mode and made sure I didn’t pay a dime that’s outrageous even if had been done correctly, poor girl I get it tho because I have anxiety and in the past I episode have also been too hesitant to say anything but today I would have been like “oh sorry maybe there was a miscommunication but I meant for this to just be a consultation today I thought you were just doing a test strip”

A few years ago I went to a stylist in a salon recommended by a friend. She was a ‘blonde specialist’ in the city, and I wanted to blend my natural color into my ends to make it a little easier to grow out (my hair was bleached but in decent condition, probably a level 7) and she talked me into going lighter instead, insisting that she likes to make ‘dreams come true’ and that my hair will not be damaged. We got it to a very yellow level 8-9 and condition wise it was ruined. I know she didn’t like the result either because she took a before pic but not an I had to cut all my hair off in phases so that I wouldn’t be left with a shaved head and now I’m finally almost back to long, healthy hair but that was a real waste of a few hundred dollars

First of all I love ur hair! Second omg I could not imagine doing a whole ass color service without a consultation! How u even know what colors to use? What does she want ashy or warm tones? I'm completely shocked at her idea of a test stand... damn!

[esmemaya]

Great video! We let go of a stylist who was like these stylist you mentioned. She never liked to do a consultation always would be more preoccupied with having a smoke break than taking care of her clients 🙄 she even fried a girls hair off because she didnt listen to her client. These are the stylist that make our industry look cheap and tacky.

[alyssamartinon]

but definitely if you notice something or you don't like something that your stylist did or is doing definitely speak up because it helps us do better and get a better understanding of what you want and therefore you hopefully leave happier.

Oh I remember this time. It was about 10+ years ago. I was around 18 or 19 and super duped shy.
My Mom and I both went to a salon to get our hair cut at a salon that did walk ins near my work.
My Moms haircut went great.
Mine not so much. I got this stylist.
I showed her a picture of what I was thinking length wise and layers-wise. She scoffed at me and went "You know you'll have to straighten it to look like You don't need to be rude. She left during my haircut a bunch of times to do random shit like answer the phone never apologized for leaving me sitting there or told me she had to leave for a quick sec. She just vanished and then came back several minutes later and started cutting my hair again. This happened at least 4 or 5 times. When she was "done" my hair looked like garbage. Like whole ass garbage. My bangs were crooked none of the layers were even and it was so awkward because my Mom had finished before me so she wanted to be nice and paid for my haircut too. I literally just sat there and balled my eyes out I was so disappointed.
The stylist that fixed my hair (because I would not let the first stylist anywhere near me the second time) was absolutely horrified by how bad of a job the first girl did.
I'm pretty sure she didn't last there much longer after that incident because I didn't really see her around after that.

I got a haircut last saturday and it was totally botched. I asked to keep my lenght, just remove dead ends and some weight from the bottom. I came out with 80s layers and nothing was even on either side. The hair around my apex is so short it falls out a ponytail. Oh I have a piece in front on my left ear that was litteraly 5 inches shorter than my right side. I litteraly just got it fixed somewhere else this afternoon and my new stylist was also like WTF did the other stylist do?! She managed to fix things. My hair is now at least 6 inches shorter than what I wanted but hopefully, it will grow back long enough come next summer so I can tie it without using 23 bobby pins to hold every strand of hair off my face!

[neriagam]

Girl your teeth are so freakin WHITE and beautiful. Do u whiten them somehow? how do u keep them so white?

[ameemohamed]

I went to a salon once before social media just asked for dark brown I got the darkest black I ever saw
hello my name is Wednesday Adams I freaked out in the salon plus she got dye all over my clothes I did not pay!

[cowboyfan]

I cringe at that 2nd one 😬
I'm p!$$3d off for her! I hate she didn't speak up (this used to be me!) & the fact that the "Stylist" got paid $450 for some garbage the client didn't even want or ask for!!!

[mariamiamonteleone]

Moral of the story LOOK AT THE REVIEWS

[azhaircountess]

The only thing I can fathom with these crazy stories is that these stylists are on drugs! How is the clients scalp burning from a balayage there should be no lightener anywhere near the scalp! And who starts an ombré at 7pm?!

[blushface]

Watching this while bleaching my hair - I rather ruin my hair for free (well, cost of product) than pay for it to be done terribly. 🙃

[ccap]

Girl no one specializes in red hair! Haha not that I’ve seen at least. They ALL specialize in blonde. I don’t think they’d make a lot of red hair was their speciality since the majority of girls are paying to get their hair bleached in some way.

[roselynmvm]

Sorry but there is no fcking way in hell I would keep my mouth shut and pay $450 after someone has left me with hair I didn’t want. I understand being polite, but $450 charge for what supposed to be a consultation is where anyone should cross the line and speak up. What the hell. I’m as shock with the hair stylist behavior as I am with the customer writing this story. Honestly, no offense to this girl but this is not just the hair stylist’s fault. If you as a customer let someone walk over you like that then obviously they will keep doing it on anyone else that allows them to do so. I’m sure that trickery wasn’t her first time. She might even have been in need of money and ignored the consultation request just to get more coin quickly. Ugh no!
By the way, I love your nails 😍
