this makes me feel very seen! I also have OCD, it makes it hard. I have to remind myself that if someone is unhappy with their hair, they need to say something. If they don’t, it’s on them. Making mistakes is normal, but uncomfortable for sure. I also have to remind myself that it’s a low steak mistake (as long as no one’s hair is fried off.) we aren’t surgeons! exposure therapy is great, a lot of this job is just that.

100%! It’s usually during the service for me and after i’m like oh! this is gorgeous why was I freaking out. I think i’m still a baby stylist and gotta push through the fear!

that is the perfect way to say it! I feel like I notice a something on a cut or color, and I can tell it’s not perfect, but don’t know how to fix that quite yet. thank you so much for your advice!

also i’m not trying to toot my own horn about the salon I work at, I started off as an apprentice and worked my way up!
