Had a touch-up today. I was 12 weeks post and I texlax.
Anyway, the touch-up went well...(I tried Design Essentials Lo-Lye instead of the Affirm Fibreguard and loved it). Anyway after I was shampooed and conditioned, he was combing out my hair which was a breeze and it did feel farther down my back so I was really happy. I don't let my happiness show because you know they will just kick you down emotionally about it anyway, so I kept my mouth shut. So he finished combing my hair straight back shows me the comb with hair in it and says, "see this hair?...that's a sign that your ends are bad...you need a trim". First of all, there were like ten strands in the comb and I saw him remove them twice, so that is like 20 strands. I said, "What"? He said, "when you see hairs in the comb it is a sign that your ends are bad". So I said, "but I trimmed it a few weeks ago". He listened to me talk about dusting, Creaclip, the SplitEnder and had an amused look on his face. Then I said, "my ends aren't bad, I have much more hair than that in my comb at home and it's normal". Then he repeats that it's a sign the ends are bad. Then I said: "Can I have that comb?" He gave it to me. I took the hair out of the comb, separated a few of them individually, running them between my index finger and thumb. Then I say to hem strongly: "These are shed hairs".....(a pregnant moment of silence)....I said: "These are shed hairs...there's a bulb on the end".....he kind of cuts me off and says, "they may be shed hairs, but its a sign......blah blah blah..I tuned him out after that. Then I kept it light by saying, "don't worry about me I'll let you at it in about 3 inches". Then he kind of mockingly says, "3 inches..." and chuckles. It's like they can't stand when your hair care makes your hair better than they ever could. But Imagine telling me that a few shed hairs means he has to trim it....that's a new one on me!

I have had it with stylists in general. I just don't trust them anymore.
I will not go near one so to speak.
