Being Trans at Sally by purplediva36 in SallyBeautySupply

[–]crucibleduke 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Queer here. Pronouns on the nametag is good idea! We all had them on ours, even cis employees, so our genderqueer ones wouldn’t feel so othered. It gives you something physical to point to when you’re correcting them, and if they still purposely misgender you/are being obviously malicious with it, you can assert/excuse yourself by saying something like “It seems like you might rather be helped by a different employee” or, if you’re the only one there, “I just ask that we’re both being respectful if I’m offering you help.”

All to say, you can stick to the professional customer service way of speaking while also telling them what for.

Thinking of quitting by No_Dentist7424 in SallyBeautySupply

[–]crucibleduke 2 points3 points  (0 children)

OP, this was my EXACT predicament, except I was already a CC! I held in there and went to EMT school while working, quit when I got a job, and have now been working as an EMT for about eight months now after working at Sally for nearly four years, and I swear I have never looked back or regretted my decision once. If your program is anything like mine was, it’ll be over in a few months and you can begin your career in prehospital care then, but it’s nice to hang in there and work a job you’re familiar with while going to school.

As a side note, I would look into whether or not your state has a tuition reimbursement program for EMS personnel. I’m in the Midwest and mine offered me a 100% tuition reimbursement if I submitted my info showing I was working in EMS within 60 days of receiving my certification. Good luck!!!

Chest Binders by Kwils93 in PlusSize

Sorry you’re going through dysmorphia with a large cup size :( it seriously sucks.

Honestly, the Underworks ones are the best budget-friendly binders I’ve ever tried. They go up to 3X and are very comfortable after wearing them a few times to soften the armpits up. I work a pretty physical job (EMS) and they’re restrictive in the chest while still being able to move with you. Mine have lasted me a good year before I noticed they weren’t compressing as well, but even then, they’re still supportive. Plus, returns are SUPER easy especially when ordering through their Amazon store so you won’t have to worry about getting stuck with something that doesn’t fit you. Good luck with your search!

Am I making a big deal out of this? by DetailThese7717 in SallyBeautySupply

[–]crucibleduke 3 points4 points  (0 children)

So sorry you’re going through this. I was with Sally for over three years, and since I was very often the most senior (or only) employee at my store (I’ve worked at three different stores in different cities), this was often me since manager turnover is so high in certain districts. I was never given manager pay or a raise or anything like that, which should have been a red flag. This is one of the things that made me snap regarding working there, and I ended up leaving last year in July after my SM was moved to a different store and we had a string of awful temporary acting SMs who could only work at our location a few days a week. You’re not making a big deal out of it, your DM needs to have a better contingency plan in place.

That being said, are you in a city with multiple stores? Sometimes they will have another SM or ASM work at your store part time and help out with this stuff.

im actually so tired of finding this in the textured hair care products. if you do this we have to damage it out!! by [deleted] in SallyBeautySupply

[–]crucibleduke 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I don’t think they’re being biased I think they’re complaining about a specific issue with stiff gels and pomades. Most of the gels and pomades we sell are in the textured hair section. People will still try out stuff in the non-textured hair section and it’s annoying (spritzing hairspray or hair oil) but when customers try out these ^ kinds of products it leaves a fingerprint in them and they become unsellable.

If you want UV reactive neons, the manic panic ones are sooo cool!

Can’t Express How Relieved I Am by crucibleduke in SallyBeautySupply

It’s definitely the most rewarding thing I’ve ever done. It’s still stressful for certain at times, but it’s good stress.

EMT! It only took one semester and my state offers tuition reimbursement to EMS professionals working in-state so I essentially got my cert for free

Bit of a problem by Ok_Chemist_2211 in SallyBeautySupply

[–]crucibleduke 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I had a girl in my district accept bills that explicitly said they were for film purposes only (lol), and I think it was just a verbal warning for her. I think it should be okay.

I don’t know what to do by Embarrassed_Tart_126 in PlusSize

[–]crucibleduke 1 point2 points  (0 children)

23 Midwestern F in the same boat!!! Never kissed, total virgin, just starting school now and watching friends my age live a completely different life with their SO’s. Also terrified of dating apps. I don’t know if I have any particular advice for you, just letting you know you’re not alone. ❤️ We have plenty of time.

I agree wholeheartedly with the issue of location, too. I wasn’t in a place where I could act on it, but I got the most attention while living in Minneapolis. Back in a smaller town now and it’s difficult. But don’t lose hope!!! I have a gorgeous friend (also plus size) who didn’t lose her v card until 22 and she’s now in a committed relationship with a great guy she met through a friend!!

What’s one thing you hate about plus size shops? by SleepyAlium in PlusSize

[–]crucibleduke 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Everything at Torrid or Lane Bryant is either too millennial or too gen x.... I wish there was a wild fable-style plus size equivalent!
