YES!!!!! I even asked to clarify chemical treatment. That means a relaxer, hair coloring, BKt you name it ...they will cut you.

Yes I have!! I have some stylist stories that I could tell but they are too numerous!! LOL! Basically, the only stylist I trust are braiders (sometimes) and BARBERS!! I am natural so if I can learn how to braid this year, I will be so DONE with hair dressers of any sort.

I have to admit I did get a chuckle out of the pasta remark. I want to run to Google and see what they say - I just ate some pasta!! LOL!

I was told that a texturizer wasn't a perm. I had been natural for 6yrs & was looking for an alternative to help manage my hair. My hair dresser said I should get a texturizer. I had never heard of it. She said it was a better to loosen & soften the texture without perming it. Well needless to say she texlaxed me. At 1st I was pissed but after a while I got over it. I was naive & pretty much believed my hair dresser. I should have done my research. I've been texlaxed for 7yrs now.

Pasta and yeast ok. Now that makes sense. She couldn't explain that though so I think she might have been just repeating what someone else told her and didn't know how to defend it. She did tell me to stay away from wheat and gluten.

She also said the lady down the hall can tell you exactly what is going on in your body by looking at your tongue. I'm gonna stay away from that lady.

Lol, Your stylist is obviously studying to be a naturalpath like me. Acupuncturist look at your tongue in order to give a diagnosis of your health. Doctors used to do it, but everyone is so sick now they quit. Coated tongues mean that a person has a yeast infection. Most people today have a slightly coated tongue, but thirty years ago when we ate home cooked food and had gardens this wasn't the case.

Also, a naturalpath can look at you and tell if your colon is having to rely upon the skin to excrete excess fatty waste. The skin will start to expel black stuff. Creating a look of minutely enlarged pores, or as she said black holes. It is pretty common.

I would stick with your wacky stylist, if I were you. She sounds like a sweetheart I don't believe she knows the science behind what she is seeing; I think she has just been recognizing certain patterns over time.

PS: I am studying naturalpath too, and my blog is filled with wacky stuff. Watermelon rinds for erectile dysfunction, and onions for baldness. But I know to keep my mad scientist mouth shut in person.

Whaaat!? Omg Seamonster that is terrible!! How did u respond?

I felt so sorry for her, he didn't even break up with her he married someone else and wanted to keep cheating. The mark was a blessing for the whole month before the scab fell off, I would look at it, and think 'Monster -don't put up with any man's crap, and do your own hair.'

[/U][/B]


Yep! lol four years. The people who gave me sh&t about why I did that are still trying to get their hair to grow. My hair has caught up and surpassed theirs in this time. They don't make comments about why I did that anymore.

lol...I would've done the same thing. "Uh...let me go move my car." lol!

Yep, I would have went to my car too, and I ride the bus.

Oh, I forgot,

1.One time Mom was out of town so my fiancée took me to another stylist, and she burnt me on the forehead. She told me she burnt me because I was pretty, black and had a man that loved me enough to come to the salon with me. Her man had left her the week before, and married another woman.

Um, WHAAAT???​

I'd love the link to your blog. I'm a weird health nut to!

Right before I started my HHJ, my last visit to the salon, my stylist told me my hair was breaking because I didn't comb it enough. At that time, I was combing 2x a day and was seeing less shedding and breakage due to reducing combing. When I asked her why would I comb more, she said so my hair won't break. I looked at her like she was smoking dust. That same day I got a relaxer and she told me 12 weeks was too long, I need to relax every 6-8 weeks. I had been relaxing my hair for 10-12 weeks for 4 years. Hence the start of my hair journey....

Re: Have you ever been lied to by a stylist about your hair's condition or anything e

I went Thursday to get my hair braided into a protective style. My hair is nice and I am satisfied with the service but the lady said I had heat damage. Now, I never divulge how much I know about haircare because I like to listen to them say stupid stuff so when she said this I was like really? She was all like, "Yeah, your gonna have to cut it off because it is physical damage instead of chemical." "ok" I said, "is it alot? Can you show me?" She proceeds to show me a couple braids that are not curling upon themselves at the very ends. It's not straight mind you but more of a 3a type curl. Now here's the kicker...I SHAVED MY HEAD BALD ABOUT 4 YEARS AGO AND HAVENT USED HEAT AT ALL IN THIS TIME. These braids were at the back of my head where my hair texture is mostly 3a-b and the rest of my head is like 3c-4aish. Now, you may say that she made a mistake but it was her tone too like she enjoyed telling me this...can't really explain it. Also, she told me that I eat too much pasta and that she could tell by my scalp. When I asked her to explain how she came to that she just looked at me. I wanted to say, "Girl, stop b*llsh*ing."
Have you ever experienced this?


ETA: It would have been better if she asked me "Do you use heat?" Then I would've told her no and she would've just dismissed it and kept braiding. Also, pasta comes out on the scalp? I don't want to walk around with spaghetti noodles popping out my head.

My old stylist used to tell me this too! Wonder what they are basing this criteria on? At the time, I was doing weight watchers and eating little to no pasta, smh.

I was 17 or 18 and went to get my hair permed. It was APL at the time.

My mom took me to her stylist and the stylist said she had to cut my ends because they were damaged. She herself had very short natural hair. She left the relaxer on for 20 minutes even after I told her I couldnt leave it on my hair long which resulted in scabs from the burns all over my whole head. It didnt help matters that my head was already discharging mucus while she was literally scrubbing my head with her finger nails. My hair was extremely matted for a 2 weeks because of all the scabs in my head. As she went to trim my hair....I told her not to cut a lot off to only cut what needed to be cut, but after she was done she had cut a good 4-5 inches off.

Lets just say I was upset and crying for about a week. Didnt help matters when my mom said "stop crying it will grow back your being a baby". I havn't had long hair since then.

2. A stylist just snatched all my fine hair out while cornrowing it, and I ended up with a TWA. This happened to me twice, always by stylist that were great stylist, but lousy combers. Thinking kinky hair is so strong. Guess they lied to themselves, but my hair fell out.

this happened to me.everytime id go get conrows or braids. they pull my fine hair like crazy. when i take down the braids i end up with breakage .

 

[Adiatasha]

Yep!

I had a bald spot on the top of my head... I never knew it and she never told me. I only found out when I went to get my hair braided and the braider told me. It was the size of a dime.

 

[SimJam]

Nope she will always tell me. That's why ive been going to her for over 12 years from relaxed to natural to relaxed and now natural lol

Re: Have you ever been lied to by a stylist about your hair's condition or anything e

Yeah, I'm beginning to see how scissor happy stylists were. I went to the salon a few months back, she said I needed a trim, and she proceeded to cut a good chunk off. I'm like, WTH did you do??!!! I refused to pay and don't want scissors near my hair again.

Re: Have you ever been lied to by a stylist about your hair's condition or anything e

all the time, that why I don't trust them

 

[Brwnbeauti]

Yes! This lady told me I needed to cut my hair down to three inches. ********* by now I know what damaged hair is like. You just want me dependent on you! This same person said natural hair doesn't grow and that's why women in Africa don't have long hair and that she would have to charge me "natural prices" for my two inches of new growth at the next visit- meaning she doesn't think I should stretch. She said all this with a busted small pony tail that she had made with her natural hair, at least throw a bun on the back sheesh!!!

Re: Have you ever been lied to by a stylist about your hair's condition or anything e

At a black hair care show last year I got a scalp analysis thing, this women basically looked at my scalp through a microscope and I could see the image on a screen.

I watched her look at another ladies scalp and her hair was very damaged and her scalp looked scaly and dry, so she sold her some stuff.

When I went for a scan I could see my hair cuticles at my scalp looked flat, that I had a lot of hair and that my scalp looked clean.
she looks over my scalp 4-5 times as if she was looking for something. Then she looks at me and says "your hair falls out a lot doesn't it".
I said that it doesn't as she processed to try and sell me some scalp scrub.

My hair barely sheds let alone enough to be worried about, it was stupid. I was so angry! She was meant to be a professional.

I would have caught a charge that day, I wouldn't have cared what she was going through, don't bring your issues to work and especially don't take them out on me. She basically assaulted you anyway.
