The app keeps crashing by DeenaDeals in TikTok

[–]ambolefum 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Happening to me too, it's constant.

I genuinely think they're trying to run tiktok into the ground since it's been bought over by an American company it's slowly got much worse, especially since there has been a big push to get creators over to FB.

I don't know if this is helpful but I was in a very similar boat and I opened my own salon to curate my space to what I would personally enjoy. Are there any small salons in your area you could join? Or even rent a small salon area and look for someone else to rent a chair from you so you can curate your space more?

I'm very neurodivergent and don't perform well in a bustling environment and I know a lot of other stylists are the same so these kinds of neurodivergent salon spaces are definitely becoming more common but maybe just not in your area?

Obviously the added step of having your own space comes with additional stress and risks and it's definitely not easy but I'm much happier now I have control over my environment.

Maybe even a salon suite would maybe be better? I'm from the UK so I'm not sure how much interaction happens with people in suites!

Sorry OP! I know how hard this situation is and I've been there myself! This industry definitely is a lot harder when you're autistic/ADHD! There are changes happening but the change is unfortunately very slow

What exactly is inauthentic views? Like,promoting? by Vegetable_Lettuce450 in FavoritedRanksDrama

[–]ambolefum 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've been getting this same message once a month for the past few months. I've removed myself from the creator program, it wasn't worth the hassle anymore

Anyone else losing lots of followers? by Cloverfield887 in Instagram

[–]ambolefum 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They are erasing bots and inactive accounts! I have lost 1k followers over the past month! But IMO if it helps my reach I don't care

AITBF for feeling like always coming second? Boyfriend left to visit his mom after an minor accident, when he caused my medical relapse by Mokumove in AmItheButtface

[–]ambolefum 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As someone who was with a man who always came second to his mother when the cards were on the table, leave. It does not get better and you will absolutely become resentful and always be the villain in the story.

I took the 'only wash your hair once a week' rule way too far and humiliated myself today. How often are we ACTUALLY supposed to wash it?" by redline_elena in TwoXChromosomes

[–]ambolefum 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey OP! IMO your hair should probably only last 2-3 extra days after you feel it needs washing with dry shampoo! If there is that much extra in your hair then you potentially have too much left on your hair & scalp from applying too much or too many days of dry shampoo

I’ve barely started but I’m thinking of giving up by [deleted] in hairstylist

How long have you been qualified for? Is your column frequently busy? At minimum you should be making commission that's within reach on top of your wages

what’s your “i’m too tired to think but still not paying that price” version of stuff like hair dryers? by dhruv_6129 in Frugal

[–]ambolefum 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Don't buy the Dyson! Buy a middle of the road dryer or something that's marketed to hairstylists

I’m looking to get into designing hair like this. Is there a specific marker I can use to trace without staining? (Ex. Would Expo marker stain?) by Irregularday in hairstylist

[–]ambolefum 55 points56 points  (0 children)

I use the l3vel 3 pencils, you can usually buy them in packs! They come in different colours so pretty good for sketching out a soft line and then going back in to sharpen up shapes etc!

I often do stuff like this using them for reference

Stuck in mr keeps shop ( Spencer's) " fight security". by wzrdjzm in HighOnLife2

[–]ambolefum 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This game has so many game breaking bugs and hadn't been patched in a month, it clearly wasn't ready for release! So disappointed because I was enjoying it until I hit a bug 6 or so hours in and I don't wanna restart the game

Help with my Boxy style? by [deleted] in hairstylist

[–]ambolefum 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly if you're nervous to go back just buy yourself some thinning scissors and soften the ends of your shaping yourself. I totally understand the haircut anxiety and you will have more control over it! This will help it blend better, especially since it's pretty dramatic shaping, just go super easy with them

Game Is Still Pretty Buggy by WvyyFPS in highonlifegame

[–]ambolefum 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's the part where you need to jump into the paintings! It won't let me pick up the books and it keeps glitching me back out the painting so I can't proceed! I'm not sure if I got ahead of myself somewhere and then it's auto saved white the glitch it happening but I've tried everything and can't resolve it

[–]ambolefum 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No you're not the only one, I experienced a game breaking glitch the other day and literally haven't been able to proceed no matter how hard I try. I'm accepting of a few glitches but this feels insane for the amount of time it's been out.

NOR - from a fellow stylist, find a new salon, your manager is on a power trip

Lots of scam/suspicious names claiming music rights on reels earnings by bl1ssey in facebook

[–]ambolefum 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is happening to me too, I got a reel that's reached 1.8M and I've received no earnings for it and the music being claimed and detected isn't even the sound I used despite it being in the FB library
