If it's not burning, it's not working. (One of the three or four perms I got done at a salon).
Oh, girl, come at 10:30 - I'll be able to get you right into a seat then. (Means I need to bring all my advanced Spanish homework - I'll be done before you get ready for me).
Your hair is so COARSE - we are going to need to use Super Strength!! (Actually, it was just resistant and STRONG - my strands are actually fine as all get out)
*sucksteeth* I HATED going to the salon - waste of time, waste of money (cuz my curls would fall out of my poor, limp, overprocessed hair in the first gust of wind), and PAINFUL - and I didn't even think I looked all THAT much better.
The dumbest and biggest lie I ever heard was "I'll be with you in a few minutes".
You must be my hair twin!!!!!. Ya'think maybe our hair knows best, that's why it responds so poorly to "their styling attempts?"
This thread makes me wanna and - no WONDER black women don't 'think' that they can grow hair, with all the lies, and out and out bullish hair dressers are telling them - and they are supposed to be the ones that KNOW!!!!
This is a damn shame, seriously.
Me: May I have a deep conditioning treatment please?
"Stylist": You see how I'm rubbing in the conditioner good here....you don't need a deep conditioner after I rub this really good in your hair.
Urm..........................sure.
My conversation with a person in the hair industry:
Him: Your hair always looks nice everytime I see you.
Me: Thanks, I usually only wear it out on the weekends, I wear it clipped up all week.
Him: *weird look* Why?
Me: Because that's my protective style to protect my ends, to keep them up and off of my clothes/coats that's why.
Him: Protecting your ends? I never heard that you had to do that... they never taught us that in Hair School.
Me: Yeah, that's because they teach you how to DO hair and not how to CARE for it
Then I changed the subject- THANK GOD HE WAS NOT MY STYLIST
Ok, forgive me for laughing at this, but wow...
Oh, I've got some....
A hairdresser that I went to once said to hold your leg up in the air while the relaxer was burning the scalp to decrease the pain.
She also "scolded" me once for turning the dryer to a lower setting b/c it was too hot for me
As if all of that wasn't enough, I finally left her when my hair started breaking off and I asked her why did she think so, and she said "maybe it's b/c I'm scratching your scalp when I wash your hair"
