Typically, I am skeptical when it comes to hair stylists, but I wanted to share this little anecdote about one of the good ones. My hairstylists at home is 60+. She can relax, press, and wrap like no one's business. She will refer you to other people when you want updos or something intricate. I like her most of all because she cares about her customers (visits them in hospital) and she is honest. Here goes the story:
Within the past year, my mom has lost her mother and her brother. In addition, her job is becoming more stressful. She seems to be handling everything pretty well on the surface, but her hair has been breaking. Well, my mom went to the aforementioned stylist a little less than a month ago for a touch up. A week ago, she went back for a wash and set. My beautician noticed that her hair was breaking. The first thing that the stylist asked was "Did your hair break because of the last relaxer I gave you?" My mom told her, "No." She had just been stressed, and people could notice her hair was breaking more because of the straightness or something to that extent.
What stood out to me was that the stylist did not blame my mom who she has known for years. She automatically assumed it was something she might have done. I think it is refreshing today in any field when someone is able to consider that he/she might have caused something to happen. That is why I shall continue to go to her each time I return home, because she does care about her customers, even the ones she has known since rock of ages...
As you can see, this thread is nothing major, but just a reminder that there are still concerned, good people in this world.
