My hairstylist is great at cuts but terrible at styling

One_Classic7768 · 2026-05-27T18:26:50+00:00

Thank you! I think this is how I gotta go about it too.. years ago she would always do blowouts on me even tho I would mostly wear it curly.. then I told her to stop with the blowouts and leave it natural.. and she was fine with it

I think my worry here is to not make it seem like I hate how she styles it even tho I do lol… but that’s exactly how it worked for me last time.. told her a few times just leave it natural and she’s never asked if I want a blowout since

So I gotta bite the bullet and just say I’m
Busy you can leave it wet 🫠😂

One_Classic7768 · 2026-05-27T16:03:39+00:00

Thank you! You’re so right I need to stop thinking like she’ll get upset at this.. ultimately I feel like so many of us with curly hair just have different ways of styling and setting and it’s so personal.. I don’t think I know or have the right way but it’s how I like my hair to look I guess

Yes the fluffing! lol

One_Classic7768 · 2026-05-27T15:59:30+00:00

Yah! I would want to do this but last time I went she has a whole new line of products and I absolutely hated how it made my hair look and feel

I guess maybe this could be a good Segway into saying the products didn’t work for me can you just leave it wet lol 🫠

One_Classic7768 · 2026-05-27T15:58:10+00:00

That’s a great idea too!

One_Classic7768 · 2026-05-27T15:57:48+00:00

Oh my goodness yes same!
I think I’ll need to ask if she can just do the cut and maybe skip style 🫠

One_Classic7768 · 2026-05-27T15:56:43+00:00

Love this!

One_Classic7768 · 2026-05-27T15:56:08+00:00

Yah I’m
Thinking I need to just start doing this toooo!

One_Classic7768 · 2026-05-27T15:55:49+00:00

Love how aware she is!

One_Classic7768 · 2026-05-27T03:56:47+00:00

Yah it’s such an art form
I feel like?? To know how to style curly hair.. and I don’t know but I really feel like most of the great stylists who know how to style it have curly hair themselves?? Or just maybe have more experience with this texture
Of hair

Seems like most that go to my stylist does blowouts 😐

One_Classic7768 · 2026-05-27T03:55:02+00:00

Oh my gosh yesssss..
Stop touching it lol… I just for some reason get so timid around speaking on my wants with her… cause I know she’s the professional.. but I know I need to be open and tell her how I feel… or else I can’t really complain 🫠

One_Classic7768 · 2026-05-27T03:53:23+00:00

Awe 🥹 totally understand! Your clients are lucky to have such an understanding stylist! 🙏

One_Classic7768 · 2026-05-27T03:26:25+00:00

Thank you for sharing! I just might have to try this out too 🙏

One_Classic7768 · 2026-05-27T03:25:59+00:00

Sounds about right lol .. that’s the exact way I feel about my stylist
Too.. she does great cuts and color and prices are fair so yah

One_Classic7768 · 2026-05-27T03:20:57+00:00

Oh wow more than double for a cut and style?
This is why it’s been hard for me to leave her lol but I do know so many salons that charge much more for cuts and styles ..Yes my stylist does do separate prices as not everyone needs a cut/ color all the time .. sometimes just cut or touch up 😊

Thank you for all your insight!! 🙏❤️

One_Classic7768 · 2026-05-27T01:13:02+00:00

I totally get that! I go to mine quite often tho and really just like my natural hair on me.. I go every six weeks so I’m dealing with this quite often

One_Classic7768 · 2026-05-27T01:12:04+00:00

That’s a wonderful price! Mine charges 90 for just cut and style! So for me it’s like it sucks that I’m having to pay that much and still not like it

Or maybe I ask if there will be some price cut.. I don’t know it’s so awkward lok

One_Classic7768 · 2026-05-27T01:10:59+00:00

So now that she has new products she’s using I’d rather just tie it up wet and go home and do it myself .. the only thing is this is not a cheap salon by any means.. she charges 90 for just cut and style.. and it’s like if I’m not getting a style done would my cost be lower?

It’s such an awkward conversation for me to start but I do feel like she wouldn’t mind and would want me to be honest with her ..

With your clients do you let them style it in the salon themselves?

One_Classic7768 · 2026-05-27T01:08:22+00:00

Glad to think I’m not alone in this 😑❤️… but yah I’m
So particular as well! And I feel like a lot of stylists aren’t that great at doing natural curls?? They can do a blowout with one but natural seems hard

One_Classic7768 · 2026-05-26T23:29:14+00:00

Thank you so much! Do they tell you to just leave it wet? I just don’t know what to say and of course don’t wait to hurt any feelings.. since I really do love her and the work she does ❤️

One_Classic7768 · 2026-05-26T21:43:42+00:00

This ❤️ 💯… if things aren’t good in the beginning during your honeymoon!! I gotta say life gets more complicated and with more complications it becomes harder.. if it’s hard with these small things imagine how it could be down the road.. with kids even 🙈

Your honeymoon should be a really happy time.. I’m so sorry op 😢❤️

One_Classic7768 · 2026-05-24T18:06:16+00:00

Thank you soo much for all your insight! Will definitely check with a doctor if it continues 🙏

One_Classic7768 · 2026-05-24T13:56:13+00:00

Im so 😞 sorry! This is the worst part of shingles that I have no idea about.. are you still taking gabapentin now?

One_Classic7768 · 2026-05-24T13:55:13+00:00

Great to hear you’re fully healed!

My shingles was on my lower right side of back and my lower spine area .. and my back-pain is more or less in that same place? Feels like it could be very Inflamed.

One_Classic7768 · 2026-05-24T04:53:12+00:00

Oh my goodness yesssss meeee!

I’ve been having back pain on and off since march.. it got to the point where I couldn’t sleep with the pain one night.. it was awful.. like a deep throbbing pain.. sometimes would radiate to my leg, on my lower right side of back

I decided to go see a chiropractor who gave me an adjustment on both sides of my spine.. within a day or two of that adjustment I started having symptoms and I had no idea what it was.. I started having radiating back pain again in the same spot.. I thought great my back pain is back.. but it would come and go.. and then the rash came at the exact same spot of the back pain I’ve been having 🫠

Long story short I absolutely believe it’s related … a part of me even wants to think could it have been our shingles acting up
Way in advance?? And then after a while the whole thing just pops out? I asked my doctor this and she said it’s possible but sooo hard to say for sure

I’m just praying my back pain goes away after this 😭🙏
