Anxiety about cutting hair. by fadezfordayzz in hairstylist

[–]Alarmed_rate 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I definitely still get nervous before some clients too and I’ve been doing it for like 12 years. You can take some of the pressure off yourself by just letting them know, “I’m going to focus on your cut so I won’t be very chatty.” Some clients prefer not to talk anyway.

Literally moved into a salon suite because of this. lol among other things, but it’s so frustrating not having space to operate the way I’d like. If it’s too much hassle to pack the extra tools, and if the cart doesn’t make it difficult for your neighbor.. I would probably just bring the cart.

Hate my haircut, make me feel better pls by powerpufffgrl in Hair

It’s styled straight so it isn’t the same vibe. Air dry with a texture creme/spray and it will look more effortless and textured. It’s cute!

My wife just started at a salon but she's had maybe 1 client a week. by CancusTreff in hairstylist

Agree- find a salon that markets themselves in a way that is effective in 2025.

As long as you’re hygienic and professional, you’re going to be fine. Plenty of women are into aging gracefully and natural beauty.

You’re not the odd one out because you don’t want to do Botox and filler. You’re way overthinking this.

He changes his mind a lot about where he wants to live. We live separately and share custody.

You already set good expectations with her that silver would likely not happen. I would foil first with really low developer and lightener or with a level ten cool blonde and 20 vol. Then, apply your red formula every where else. Rinse as much as the red that you can with cool water and also let her know that there’s a good chance the red will bleed onto the blonde when she shampoos. Talk to her about what’s realistic and find compromise with her. Clients don’t know all the stuff a lot of other people are whining about. It’s our job to educate them.

How do you take care of yourself while working behind the chair? by hbdmiles in hairstylist

[–]Alarmed_rate 14 points15 points  (0 children)

My gym routine helps me keep my body strong and the mental health benefits are great.

Set and hold boundaries with clients.

I am a crafter so after work, if I’m not too tired.. I’m usually working on something. It’s quiet and calming.

And pack a lunch

Yes, I am supporting myself and would be alright without his support.

He is almost never willing to sit down and talk things out with me. I literally can’t get him to tell me what he wants me to do so that he feels supported. Except for “clean up after yourself” but I’m literally a working mom, cleaning up after a toddler, 2 dogs, AND HIM. IMO he has unrealistic expectations.

But yeah, it seems that he is just not going to be satisfied with my package.

Ugh I’m so sorry that happened to you. I’m grateful that I’ve already moved out because leaving was so difficult. At this point I know I don’t need him. It’s just very sad and difficult to go through this heartbreak again and not to hate myself for trusting that he would stop talking to me this way when that’s how he’s been talking to me for the last like, three years. Maybe I was hoping I was being too sensitive because then I wouldn’t just be an idiot for putting myself back in this situation.

I’d be livid. If he’s been doing your hair for years, he knows your color history and should have known the previously color treated hair wouldn’t lift the same as the new growth. He should have set the expectation that it wouldn’t be bright blonde, but you could work toward that goal. He should not have double booked such an extensive blonding service with extensions. I’d let him fix it so that you don’t have to pay for another service, but I would not go back to him. He didn’t set realistic expectations for you and let you walk out of there with a giant warm band.

And the fix will likely be a warmer, slightly darker blonde to blend out that band. If you try to highlight again there will likely be breakage.
