I'm transitioning and plan to for 2 years. I'm 1 year and 2 months post now. I went to the salon to get braids and she insisted on blowing it out so it would be easier to part my hair. I already doused my head in coconut oil and had 2 of those expensive bone combs with me - all to make the process easier for them and she still wanted to blowdry my hair. After a 3 minute argument, I agreed to light blow drying. It was not light. Anyway, in the course of blowdrying she took out a pair of scissors and I was like, WTF are you doing? She said I was already mostly natural at the nape and I might as well cut off the relaxed ends. I told her NO plus if you cut the relaxed ends from the nape, the crown and front will look awkward and she said, no problem, I'll cut off all the relaxed ends. WHAT?. I came in for braids and this crazy woman is trying to BC me. I said no twice and she still insisted so I screamed NO very loudly and she left it alone. Why do stylists feel this incessant and relentless need to always cut or trim hair and insist on cutting hair that the owner has very specifically said she doesn't want to cut. I got in my braids but I've decided after I take this out, I will be wigging it for the rest of my transition. Just needed someone to rant to. Rant over.
