[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Look you can tip like shit if you want to. But if your stylist is good, don’t be surprised when you try to book again and they are “booked up already”. That’s because you’ve been black balled for being shitty.

That's fine with me as I've never found a good stylist in the DC area and I've been to several.  All the good ones, understandably, leave and go to more creative places with a more vibrant creative community and opportunities for exposure, aka New York or LA or Miami or pretty much anywhere else where the standard hair isn't "mom bob with brown highlights."

Dying hair is actually incredibly simple and not a complicated process at all, and yet most hairstylists arent exactly rocket scientists and still find a way to mess it up.  And yet they will be haughty and act like theyre doing life saving work.

I have tipped good hairstylists huge amounts and am happy to do so.  Most of the incompetent clowns here in the DC area who give you attitude AS they mess up your hair and give you date highlights don't deserve a tip at all. [/quote]

When I moved to DC and looked for a stylist, my friends highly recommends this Asian stylist that supposedly specialize in Japanese cut and color. And I checked out his portfolio where it literally came out of 2003 and not progressed a single day.

Oh and I think my friend is still mad at me for not wanting to go there with her lol [/quote]

Any good hairstylist here leaves for big cities where there are vibrant young people where they can do pastel hair, balyage highlights, extreme bleaching, and all the creative parts that make a job fun and interesting.  Anyone left doing brown highlights for 65 year old lobbyist wives hates their job and doesnt give a S about it anyway [/quote]
