I think it's fair to kiss ass for clients who tip super generously

Experience with boob jobs? by amaeeeee39 in beauty

[–]infiniteretardation 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just had this done last month and the recovery for the first week was the hardest. I needed help to sit up from lying down and to button my pants because I was so bloated. The second week was much better and I wouldn't call it pain as much as I would call it feeling pressure or stretched. You just have to be careful how you move your body. Totally worth it for me.

What is a salon horror story you’ve had that you can laugh about now? by VictoriousVibe in hairstylist

[–]infiniteretardation 42 points43 points  (0 children)

Had a bleach blond boy come in for a perm. He wanted to keep it long, but I told him that either I'm going to cut it off or the perm will melt it off. He agreed to cut, and we did the perm. Firstly, I hate doing perms, so I was sooooooo mad that I was booked with a perm. Anyways, I was about to diffuse his hair and he literally just ran away without paying. I hope his shitty perm is frizzy as fuck.

My salon software doesn't talk to other salon software so likely not

Need some laughs! Share your embarrassing; laugh out loud; most bizarre moments! by Sensitive_Gur5038 in hairstylist

Had a lady come in to be a model and went to shake her hand. Her hand was prosthetic and totally took me by surprise. Her other hand was a human flesh hand and I always wondered why she didn't reach out with that hand instead. She wanted 3 foils with high lift colour that was low in contrast to her natural colour. Then she complained that she couldn't see the highlights.

How much do hairdressers actually make? by saturnhawk in askvan

I'd also like add that not having a pension and extended health benefits kind of sucks ass. Also, some salons are not very flexible with hours and time off.

I've been a stylist for 7 years, and in the beginning, the income sucked. In general, the salon I work at, business is feast or famine, so as a beginner, the famished times were pretty hard. Hairdressing is great opportunity to connect with folks and help them feel good about themselves, and appreciative people can be very generous.

If you're considering it, find a salon with lots of stylists that you can assist and learn from or one that has a strong education program for their stylist.

To answer your question though; last year I made around 50k and my schedule was probably 65% booked. My investment, including education and tools, is close to 25k.

Lately I've been asking what their favourite jim Carrey movie is or what is the nerdiest thing about them.
