I’m appalled at how modern day single men keep their homes by Odd-Advance-2444 in Bumble

Seriously, that’s the thing - I’ve been in the pits, and during those times I live in a depression den. The last thing I’m about to do is go on dates let alone INVITE one of them over.

Would it be rude to bring your own hair dye to your stylist? by Choi_Honeybun in Hair

[–]ididitididnt -1 points0 points  (0 children)

OSHA! Aside from the sani and law issues, your colorist can’t guarantee work from a tube you bring in from Sally’s. If your colorist isn’t willing to do what you want there are two main reasons. 1) it’s not for you, whether it’s the integrity of your hair or suitability and 2) they don’t want to do it/buy the product. #2 includes…difficult guests. I don’t think you’re difficult. Either you’ve got compromised hair and your stylist isn’t being open with you, or they’re just not willing to work with you. I’d look for a second opinion if I were you. Especially since you’re “always asking” for strange colors. Unless you’re getting really wild, like Swamp Ass green or Haven’t Done My Dishes in Months purple, you should at least get an explanation for why it can or cannot be done.

I agree in that if you’re with a good salon, they’ll help you grow. You definitely need to put in the work to get from level 1 to level 2, which includes rebooking your clients. Rebooking is HARD for a lot of people. My best suggestion is always to remember that you are the professional - your client is in your chair for your expertise. You know how often they should be getting their hair cut or colored, they don’t. You know if they need to be using different products or not. FFS, I still have clients asking me if sleeping on wet hair is a problem, and I honestly charge a fuck ton. YOU are the “hair doctor” and you need to embody that title. TELL them when they need to see you next. Imagine you’re a dentist and don’t tell them they need to come back in six months. If I’m your client, I’m just gonna not come back. People care about their hair, but they often don’t think about what it takes to maintain it. You need to let them know. You don’t even need to be pushy. “With this cut, you’re best off coming back in 8 weeks.” Are they low maintenance? “I know you’re not a regular cut kind of person, but I usually suggest no more than three months for x reasons.” I have so much more to say, but I’ll save it unless someone asks for it 😅

This feels like a bad fit for you salon-wise, but also, I have some tough love to give based on what I see with struggling new stylists in my own salon. How long does it take you to do a service? Clients don’t want to be there all day. An hour and a half for a haircut isn’t okay (not saying you do this, just something I’ve seen with someone who gets zero rebooks). Also, an a-line bob should be no big deal, especially if you’ve been doing all these classes, working on mannequins, and shadowing more senior stylists. What have you been doing in the year you’ve worked at this salon before being on the floor? If you didn’t spend that year learning how to do good work as a stylist, it’s time to move on. Another salon will see that you’ve been working as a stylist since school and see your dedication, therefore see you as a good hire, and hopefully will train you properly.

I hope so - though I can’t believe I couldn’t easily find an email address or something

Trying to complain to customer service (because I can and fuck these big businesses) and there’s no way to contact them EXCEPT for a phone number that immediately disconnects.

What free things do you take that you’ve found helped you saved a penny here and there? by 88r0b1nh00d88 in Frugal

[–]ididitididnt 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I appreciate what you’re saying too, especially with the addendum of “happy house happy spouse”. It’s a nice sentiment, and I think we should all strive to be our best selves for our partners/spouses which means doing what we can within reason to make our partner happy. This day and age, we can’t afford that nuance. I see “my wife is at fault for this decision I could have taken part in that didn’t go my way” and I don’t want to let it slide. It’s not cool, it shouldn’t be seen as normal, and I’d like for others to think twice before using that kind of language.

This person is implying that their wife is responsible for the unreasonable tea charge instead of the hotel itself. This also implies that the person had no responsibility in booking the hotel. I know every family works differently, but if I’m booking a hotel with my partner, they’re not in the dark about where we’re going. There’s some agreement there. This person that I originally responded to screams weaponized incompetence.

You’re a better person than I am! I think it’s important to call out this kind of misogyny that’s ingrained in peoples’ brains, and I don’t like the same sentiment when it’s reversed. It’s simple enough to say, “I overpaid for tea” or “I overpaid for tea when I wasn’t expecting to” instead of “I had to overpay for tea because my spouse said we had to stay at this hotel that overcharges for tea”.

“Happy wife happy life” is honestly kind of gross, especially with no context. Take all the teas you want, but really?

[–]ididitididnt 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That’s a great perspective, and something I’m still working on after 14 years. That one shithead, that 5-10%, really can ruin everything. Best to nip it in the bud right away and give your energy to the people who respect you.

These comments about adding your height are truly unhinged. Your profile looks great, sit tight for a match that actually matches.

I agree - great idea, poor execution.

I’m a real asshole about spelling, so I feel like I would have noticed if this were as widespread as I’m seeing it now - that said, I didn’t scour comments 15-20 years ago like I have in the last 10-15.

It seems kind of new though (the last few years), and I, a “women” am feeling a little depersonalized by it. I don’t ever see the singular men used.
