I unwillingly went to a stylist at a local Paul Mitchell School a couple of weeks ago. I had to get my hair "professionally" done for a certain event, so my sorors and I had to go to this guy and his "team" of stylists at that salon school. Well, I had already washed and conditioned my hair at home, so when I got there all this lady had to do was rinse out the conditioner and get to styling.
Mind you, I have over 5 months of new growth, so detangling was a bit of a hassle before since she doesn't know how to deal with ethnic natural hair (even though she's Black). After detangling, this woman grabs the blow dryer so that she could blow dry my hair! I stopped her in her tracks and said "aren't you going to use a heat protectant...a leave-in...something?" And she said "oh, ok....well, these Paul Mitchell
Gloss Drops would be good."
After blow-drying, she flat-ironed my hair, and I surely did ask for more heat protection. I asked her for the Super Skinny Serum, and she asked me how I knew about that. I told her that I've used plenty of Paul Mitchell products before (it's the PJ in me). But anyway, she didn't even know how to curl my hair with the flat-iron; I kept having to get up and show her how to do it. She kept going over the same piece of hair over and over again with the flat-iron because it wouldn't curl right. I told her to stop and not worry about it because that piece of hair would blend with the rest when I comb it. Did she stop? NO! She says "I just wanna get it right...ok, there it goes." Dummy.
When she was done, my hair did look great, but I could have EASILY done that by myself without any trouble. Not to mention it sweated out later that night. Crazy girl with paper thin hair getting happy because the flat-iron was smoking...she thought it was a good thing
. This is why I don't go to stylist, and if I ever have to (for whatever reason), she's going to have to be worth it.
Ok, I'm done...thanks for listening you guys.
ETA: The pics in my siggy are pics of flat-ironed hair that I did...not the job of the stylist.
