Ok, I started seeing this lady in the salon. She dyed my hair in February and it came out perfect. So in October, I decided to go back to her again. At that time, I hadn't had a perm in 4 months because my hair wasn't taking to them. So, I explained to her my situation, and so, she asked me, "How do you want it styled?"
I said, "I want it trimmed, and then I want a curly pin-up."
She said, "Oh, I'm DEFINITELY going to trim it!"
This made me really uneasy. I know my hair needed a trim badly, but dag! She made it seem like she was going to do it anyway! So, she trimmed it and I couldn't tell how much she chopped until I shampooed a few days later. She didn't trim too much though.
I went back to her last Friday. She knew I was getting a perm, so when she was done washing out the conditioner, she combed my hair down, and I said to myself, No she is not! Check this out ya'll. The type of scissors she had, you could barely hear them. She was just a snipping at my hair, mind you, I didn't ask for a trim. I let her do it anyway.
To make a long story short
she didn't style my hair right at all. I told her the same curly pin-up that she did last time, except with height in the front and she did it totally different and it looked flicted. So, as she was separating my curls, I asked politely:
"Do you think my hair is healthy enough to get my roots dyed?"
Mind you, I shouldn't have even asked because I hadn't had my hair dyed since February, which is more than enough time to get my roots done. Do you know what she said?
"Your roots are okay. It's just your ENDS!"
So, I'm sitting there stunned. What do my ends have to do with my roots? More importantly, why have you been trimming my hair and my ends are still in such terrible shape?
And she didn't elaborate anymore. She didn't tell me what was wrong with my ends, what could fix it, NOTHING! She just made her statement and then there was silence!
After a minute or two, I said, "So, what should I put on my ends to get them healthier?"
This beech said, "Some oil."
And that's all she said. I'm sitting in that chair turning colors, I was so mad!
So, as I'm getting ready to leave, she runs to me and goes,
"Do you want to make an appointment to get your roots colored?"
I said, "No! I want to wait if my ends are like you said they are."
She said, "Okay. Well, I'm trying to trim them as I go. Your hair should be okay in another month."
First of all, in another month is when I would come back to get the color job done anyway. Secondly, if my hair was so messed up, why would you even ask me about making a color appointment, and third, whose hair is "okay" in just one month?
Moral of the story: Hairdressers not only have a license for hair, but they know how to mess with your minds. I think she purposely told me my ends were messed up so I could start coming to her more often to fix them. I also think she did my hair flicted so I would think to myself, "This doesn't look right. I need to go back to her soon to get this done over."
She also charged me for that trim I didn't even ask for. I won't be going back to her, ever. And my hair is shorter than it was with my last touch-up.
Sorry, I just felt like ranting.

It is one of the worst experiences ever and when I was a kid, I used to dread the hair salon 1000 times more than the dentist. Maybe if they were gentle, sweet natured and pleasant, not vindictive and RUDE, i would be more inclined to go. But from now on, I am doing my hair on my own! They are not getting one penny from me!
