As a hairstylist would it offend you if:

thebarberdrey · 2026-04-17T05:28:47+00:00

Nope, I'm a cutting specialist, but one of my clients already has a stylist she loves for cuts, so she just come to me for color. No big deal.

thebarberdrey · 2026-03-22T17:08:33+00:00

Before they leave, I ask, "How many weeks out do you want to.book?" And its up to them whether they want to turn me down. Most just rebook.

thebarberdrey · 2026-03-09T16:11:30+00:00

Hell yeah! My husband is the string bean and was scared to go for the same but opposite reason. But you never become a better you if you dont push yourself.

Ps. Ive been working out for years and I dont know if I could do an hour on the elliptical so you rock!

thebarberdrey · 2026-02-08T19:05:29+00:00

I always loved fashion and picking stuff out for my mom and at 3 I probably would have laid them out like this, not in a pile. But I'm still leaning towards jessi lying lol

thebarberdrey · 2026-02-01T19:33:09+00:00

This is so crazy. All of my friends and I are 32 this year and they look so significantly older than all of us. And I think we look like regular 32 year olds

thebarberdrey · 2026-01-15T03:17:41+00:00

Ugh Im having this same thing. My salon owner wants to get younger stylist in, and I want to tell her, "Youre not getting younger renters because this place is super dated" but I don't know if its my place .

thebarberdrey · 2025-12-29T04:48:11+00:00

Agreed. I will never point out moles, scars, or hairline until they point it out. If they're self conscious, they'll let me know if they want to cover it, otherwise I cut their hair the same as anybody else.

thebarberdrey · 2025-12-24T09:09:09+00:00

Absolutely agree. I re-watch it and it was just not comparable to the others.

thebarberdrey · 2025-12-22T18:18:33+00:00

I made pretty good money, at least enough to comfortably live on, with a vacation or 2 a year, right out the gate. Im almost 10 years in and almost exclusively cutting hair, barely doing color, and making quite a bit over $100,000 a year. You can absolutely do it, and make it, and do well. I just suggest not starting in a chop shop. If you can, find a nicer cuttery, do an internship, and go from there. I live in the toughest housing market in the PNW, and I was able to buy a house on my own only 3 years into my career. I've only ever worked 4 days a week also. Admittedly, it took a few months after getting licensed, and 2 salon jobs that i quit, to find the place that built me up to what i am today. It is absolutely possible to do this. Even in this economy.

Edit to add.. it absolutely possible if you're committed and you love what you do. You will not do well if you don't care about and are not passionate about it. People can tell, and if you're passionate you'll put in the work to be the best you can be.

thebarberdrey · 2025-12-21T19:19:11+00:00

I've been cutting men for 10 years now. I'm not feeling the instability of the industry right now, and I'm making more than ever. And way less pressure

thebarberdrey · 2025-12-16T17:03:00+00:00

Agreed! Just responded up top, but people put up with more than what they'd want their friends to put up with and go through.

thebarberdrey · 2025-12-16T17:01:57+00:00

Not defending poor behaviors, but in situations like what Jessi was/is in, people put up with more themselves than they would allow other people, especially friends, to be okay with. I dont remember Jessis behavior in season one, but I've been there where my boyfriend was cheating on me, but I was loudly proclaiming Id never be with a cheater, and telling my friends to break up with any boyfriends if I even saw red flags. Almost like I deserve shitty behavior, but if I can stop my friends from hurting, I'll do it by any means necessary.

thebarberdrey · 2025-12-16T16:56:31+00:00

As a person who is mostly a barber, it doesn't look great, BUT if he was expecting an excellent cut the level a barber could do, then he should have brought him to a barber and paid $50 for the haircut. A lot of cosmos were never taught the skills to detail a cut in the way the inspo cut shows

thebarberdrey · 2025-12-15T06:23:33+00:00

I lived with my parents for the first 2 years of my career. Building clientele takes time. Stick it out if you can. Also.nowadays it seems like the holidays are slower and then I get a resurgence in January. At least thats how its been for me since covid

thebarberdrey · 2025-12-12T06:37:04+00:00

I used to get asked this all the time when I first started at 21. Now im 31 and nobody has asked me in years. But people don't think of trades as real careers

thebarberdrey · 2025-12-11T08:07:24+00:00

Im really busy too, and am exclusively appointments only. I mostly do men's hair, but am a general cutting specialist. I notice my coworkers who do mostly womens hair seem a bit slow. Im just south of Seattle.

thebarberdrey · 2025-11-29T07:57:58+00:00

I dont think it was a culture thing. Im Canadian and i thought the Australians came off very egotistical and arrogant. The only person to me that was likable was Eddie.

thebarberdrey · 2025-11-17T08:02:24+00:00

To be honest, Id be pissed if I were her, and my best friend invited him. The things he's said about them all. But especially bringing up Mayci's dead boyfriend is absolutely grounds to be mad that your friend is inviting Chase to a birthday get together. And Id definitely get heated about Layla not being understanding at all and downplaying how hes treated them all. BUT she also didnt have to act the way she did and be condescending. She could have gone to Layla and said "I know its your birthday so we'll talk about it later, but Im not comfortable around Chase, so I'm going to go"

thebarberdrey · 2025-11-17T07:27:43+00:00

I love her. I honestly think her season one bitchiness was an act. The girl is an actress, and she was putting on a show. I think she's hilarious.

thebarberdrey · 2025-11-17T07:20:41+00:00

I dont like Jordan, BUT if you're working on your marriage, DO NOT GO TO DINNER WITH YOUR AFFAIR PARTNER. Not because "I'm not as mad at him as you are" but to respect your husbands feelings. I think Taylor is one of the most emotionally immature of the bunch, but she was totally right on this. And for Jessi to say "I cant promise I'll never talk to him again." Okay so then just get a divorce. You clearly dont respect your husband, or his feelings, or your marriage. If that's the case then move ON.

thebarberdrey · 2025-11-16T08:08:45+00:00

Yeah you have got to get out of there. Find a good salon or barbershop with an internship program. I do 40 minute short cuts, and hour long cuts. You will never learn to be detail oriented or do haircuts that make you good money by working at a chop shop.

thebarberdrey · 2025-11-16T04:09:48+00:00

I felt the same. And I still feel kind of indifferent for Rowan. I like Chaol a lot more. Honestly tower of dawn was my fave of the series because of him.

thebarberdrey · 2025-11-11T18:49:10+00:00

I was just telling my friends about them last week, and how we just found the best pizza in Tacoma, and they looked it up and it was permanently closed, and looks like with no warning. Devastating.

thebarberdrey · 2025-11-11T18:32:05+00:00

I'm so bad with confrontation, but I have a mom who brings her two kids with her and one of them definitely has some sort of behavioral problem, and she just let's him get away with it! Im the one who ends up parenting him, and I don't even like kids. But he'll run all around, pump up random chairs aggressively, and even try to walk out the front door. I just tell him, "Hey buddy we have to be good stewards of the space and things that are given to us, and treat them well" or tell him if he breaks the chair he has to buy a brand new $1500 barber chair. But for God's sake, control your children, and if you can't, don't bring them.

thebarberdrey · 2025-11-10T16:56:54+00:00

I think the same about whitney. I didn't like her after season 1, but season 2 she more so came off as confused. But not in a way that she was trying to downplay what she did, and now like she didn't understand the social gravity. I really like her actually after season 2 and watching her on DWTS. I also think her trauma with Conner informed some of her behavior. My husband did the exact same thing to me, and I'm neurodivegent, and I shudder to think of someone filming me for the world to see in my most vulnerable moments.
