[quote=Anonymous]Went to a salon where the owner was my stylist. He had been recommended by my friend, cuts were pretty good, but he did annoying things, 1) frequent stepping away from doing my hair to speaking to walk ins,and once another regular who dropped in to schedule and he fawned over her while ignoring me in the chair for a bit. 2) had a relative/assistant simultaneously blow dry my hair along with him. I kept thinking 'wtf?? Am I supposed to tip this second guy too?' 3) once forgot my appointment and had taken the day off. Receptionist contacted him and relayed apologies, agreed to schedule me the next day before hours. I followed through the next day but was still pissed that I'd wasted 2 hrs to get there and back the previous day because he wasn't in my neighborhood. He gave me a hug after that cut like we were close, and I thought it was so fake. Cuts were $60ish.
I tried a salon near work and got a decent cut once for $40 thereabouts. Second time, not as satisfying and after the third 'meh' cut I left. I had also become tired of this new male stylist's know-it-all banter.
I switched to a new stylist/salon near work, also about $40, great stylist, very in tuned with what I am expressing that I want, and also seems really knowledgable about the biology of hair. 1 block from my office.
I liked the PPs advice about speaking up but in some situations I am not that quick to formulate how I will respond. Instead I just vote with my feet. Finding stylist #3 made me glad I didn't accept the uncomfortable vibes and non-impressive experiences with the first two.
