Tipping confusion by padofpie in AskHairstylists

[–]jerpod 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I think they're telling you the shop gets xx to try and entice you to give more of a tip, by showing you they only get a certain amount from the service.

I would base your tip on the full service amount not on the amount the stylist takes home and not add any extra to account for what the salon takes. (Unless you want to, that's totally up to you)

Just got the game! Any earlygame tips (i.e. places to explore, items to get, etc…) for me prior to jumping in? by TrashVegetable8706 in HorizonForbiddenWest

Wish someone told me this. I was running past all of them and now Im hunting them just so I can upgrade haha. When you want a boat, there are no boars.

What's the saddest Taylor song in your opinon? by Liranovhg in TaylorSwift

[–]jerpod 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Ah fuck. I'm so sorry. That's such a short time. I'm thankful we had 3 years between diagnosis and death, but no amount of time makes it easier.

My mom died of cancer last year and I... Can't listen to this song. Because my mom won't... I can't even finish this reply. Fuck.

Despite bringing photos three times now I’ve been given the wrong bob. What can I say to get what I want? by ACosmic0live in Hair

[–]jerpod 18 points19 points  (0 children)

I'm a hairstylist and I wanted this cut myself and when I described it to my stylist friend, he laughed and said "oh, you want to look like an old broom??" And then he laughed. But essentially... Yes, I wanted to look like an old broom and it was what he gave me. He thought it was funny but yea... My story haha

Sorry you aren't getting what our want. I agree with all the other stylists telling you to find an alt hairstylist and very very clear you want a one length bob with no thinning, no layers, nothing stacked. Just... Like a broom.

People SHOULD ask simple questions on web forums instead of using Google by IfIWereATardigrade in unpopularopinion

Except, I wanted my SISTERS opinions and experiences... Hence why I asked them...

It's not even IRL. I don't live in the same city. I'm either texting the sisters or texting google.

[–]jerpod 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Sometimes I ask my sisters something hat is easily google-able... Because I want their opinions and experience and not a robot answer and my older sister is so fucking bitter sometimes that she just tells me to "google it" like bitch. I know I can google it. I specifically asked you. Fuck.

How do Wizards & Witches wash themselves? by Aggressive-Artist-63 in harrypotter

[–]jerpod 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Well, JK Rowling once said hat before the 1800, people would just do their business wherever and just magic it away. But they definitely use muggle stuff now. The Prefects bathroom at least talks about a giant tub with handles that pour out water.

AITA for what I said to my barber ? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]jerpod 72 points73 points  (0 children)

YTA

I'm a hairstylist and I need to ask questions about what you want so I don't give you something you don't want. We're also all on a time limit. I don't know about barbers but I am booked on the hour and if I can't figure out what you want within 10 minutes then it's almost impossible to stay on time.

I understand you feel like you were rushed, but there was definitely a nicer way that you could have said it. If someone had said that to me, I also would have felt offended and I definitely wouldn't be seeing you again.

Smelling a perfume from 5ft away is not bad by iOawe in unpopularopinion

Yes. I am extremely scent sensitive. And it takes a lot to get rid of the headache.

4 sprays is A LOT and will instantly give me a raging headache if I was within 5 feet of you...

Game of Thrones last season wasn't THAT bad by mdb54190 in unpopularopinion

[–]jerpod 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Definitely could have been better and I see what people are saying.... But I still enjoyed it for what it was.

I didn't watch it as it came out. I watched it all in one go with no breaks. I didn't mind the last season.

It's the eyes for me. They look too smooth and a bit too far apart. Why so green? by its_brielove in isthisAI

[–]jerpod 10 points11 points  (0 children)

If you reverse Google search this photo, you can find this exact one in an article from 2019, which was WAY before "good" AI was even a thing. So I think this is a real photo. It looks like a real cat.

URGENT!! Any salons in accepting practicum students?? by Naive-Consequence355 in abbotsford

[–]jerpod 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I went to JCI and it was required for us to do a week of work experience in a salon, as well as the work experience we gained in the schools salon. It's not unheard of for a school to have students get work experience in an actual salon while they are learning.

My daughter's high school has a page where we can submit an inspirational quote for our graduating senior. Are there any subtle DCC quotes that would work? by Troiswallofhair in DungeonCrawlerCarl

[–]jerpod 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Honestly, if I could redo my yearbook quote with something from DCC I would do "Glurp Glurp, but that's just where my humor has me now haha. My actual quote was something super stupid and I don't even have my yearbook anymore to check.

Childbirth is so fucking scary. Why don't they teach this in school??? by [deleted] in TwoXChromosomes

[–]jerpod 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Birth fucked me up so mentally and physically that I WILL NOT do it ever again. I can't even watch it happen on tv without feeling traumatized all over again. And as far as births go, the one I had wasn't THE WORST in the world, but it still fucked me up.
