Hair Stylist Trim Advice

[CarmelCupcake]

I've been doing my own hair for years, and I was taking a major exam on saturday, so i didn't feel like doing my own hair. Well anyway, the girl hooked my hair up, but she took off about an inch and a half for trimming my hair. I really loved the way she flat ironed my hair...it looks so shiny and feels so healthy. I was thinking of going to her every two weeks. My thing is, I don't want her to trim my hair again. Id rather let her just style it. I think she would get offended though. Do you guys have any advice on what i could tell her?

Next time just say, you don't want a trim. Did she ask you beforehand or did she just proceeded to trim your hair?

@ms.blue, she asked. I guess I feel like if start going to her every couple of weeks, shes gonna be like, oh let me trim your ends, and id rather just do it myself

@CarmelCupcake, let her know from the beginning before any service is to be performed that you don't want a trim. If she asks why? Say you perfer to do the trim yourself or lie and say you have someone else who does your trims.

@ms. blue. thank you for the advice! you think I may offend her?

A professional should not be offended. And if she is, you need to see someone else. It's your hair, her feelings don't matter.

@Nightingale, thank you. you're right!

Or when it's time to trim you could ask her to dusk your ends only and watch her as she does it?

@naturalagain2, thank you

I always have this problem. As soon as I tell the stylist what I want I specially say I don't want my ends trimmed today. It never fails right after washing and blow-drying my hair they ask when's the last time you had a trim. I always say i'll get my ends trimmed next time.

@ClassyJSP, lol thats a good line. i'll have to use that also!

@CarmelCupcake, saying you will do it next time is the easiest route out. When you go back next time, and if she remembers, just say, I decided to do it myself so I'm good.
