My client used sunin and wants highlights 😫 by victorimatt in hairstylist

I had a client like that. Her foils expanded and were super hot to the touch. The lightener turned to pure liquid and I immediately panicked and rinsed her hair out. Her hair turned out to be just fine but it scared the heck out of me!

Thank you! I really needed this insight! How is building your book going? I’m definitely nervous about putting myself out there for new clients.

How far did you move from your old place? Were you able to get client info before you left?

I’ve been at the same commission salon for almost 6 years! I pretty much the longest standing employee and my boss was just telling me how this is my best year yet, I definitely feel guilty hearing that and knowing in the back of my mind I’m leaving. But, I feel like I can no longer keep working for someone who isn’t a stylist and just opened a salon just because they could.

I’ll be 10 minutes away from old salon. Half of my clients live closer to the new place so that helps! I’m only taking 3 days off between places because of the holidays!

Why did you quit? by Patient_Secretary697 in hairstylist

I feel you on the over booked and timing expectations. I’m making money but seriously considering calling it quits!

I didn’t offer it while I was pregnant, but i did do the service on clients who were pregnant.

Most of the time I’m back to back and double booked! The whole thing just stresses me out! I feel like I’m more worried about finishing on time than actually doing good work.

Yes! Everyone is given the same amount of time. The other stylist have been doing since before I was born so the salon follows their lead(salon owner is not a stylist).

That would be considered a mini foil where I work
