When a stylist doesn't listen

[Anonymous]

Why on Earth are people giving OP a hard time. She paid for a service, she said what she wanted, and the stylist overrode her. She is asking for advice because she was too polite/overwhelmed to criticize the stylist to her face after.

She recognizes what is done is done and wants advice for the future.

Stop being such mega witches.

OP this has happened to me before. Please stop apologizing to these pls giving you a hard time. You are the customer. Period! If she did something without your approval it’s completely her fault. I would be livid but probably would have done what you did because I usually don’t react that quickly.

Yeah, would never go back to that stylist again. You didn't love it, and you tried to stop her.

I agree I would not go back. I've found, even at my high end salon, that many oft the stylistes are not that well trained. It seems like they know a few styles and give them to most of their clients. At the salon I went to for far too long, all the white women got bobs and the asian and middle eastern women were "allowed" to have long hair. The stylists are mostly middle eastern. They were great with color but did very mediocre hair cuts. At one appointment I didn't want my hair cut since I was sick of the mom bob and the stylist pushed for just a trim. I walked out with a full on Florence Henderson shag hair cut. My hair wasn't damaged.I disagree with the posters above who say the stylist knows better.

I think if you paid a premium for your haircut, the stylist likely felt it best to actually make your cut worth it per say.

So they feel better if they cut off “more” hair than a client requested.
Dumb logic if you ask me.
I went for a haircut once + the stylist was annoyed that I still wore my hair in its current style.
She chastised me & said, “Why don’t you wear your hair like this?? This is the STYLE.”

When I politely declined - she copped an attitude.
During my cut, she told me she needed me to get out of the chair and stand up.
I was eight months pregnant!!!!

I did thank her and didn't let on that I was unhappy with it.

I completely agree that long hair is often age-inappropriate. I'm 42 and had hair about two inches below my shoulders.

That's an interesting question.....at what average age should women transition to a shorter haircut?

At the age of When They Want To.

20-25

I wonder what age men would give

It all depends on the women and not necessarily the age. In Italy, I have seen some older women rocking the Big Hair.

But in general, the older you get, the simpler and shorter the hair is worn. This is because the older looking face does not match the youthful long hair.

Take prenatal vitamins, OP. They’ll help with faster regrowth.
