This may have been discussed before, but it always bugs me when I hear stories of how women cannot get their stylists to listen to them when it comes to their own hair.
The last time I went to a salon to have my hair straightened, the stylist burned my natural hair so badly that it looked like I had blonde streaks. And he didn't bat an eyelash about it. I was very clear that I didn't want it "perm" straight and that he needn't use excessive heat. To no avail.
We report stylists raking combs thru our hair, cutting it like there's no tomorrow, improperly neutralizing relaxers, frying strands with excessive heat. And I just wonder, why don't stylists care about your hair?
I understand a lack of education...but there seems to be a god complex or a disrespect in some stylists when it comes to people's hair. If you come in with a head full of long healthy hair...it's like they resent that fact that you have opinions or standards for how you should be treated.
WHY? Is this taught in school? Are they so frustrated with "know it all" clients that they can respect no one? Are they in a rush? Are they just accustomed to people not truly caring and only wanting to "look" pretty? Are they jealous?
I just don't get it. It seems like they would "love" caring for hair. Why don't they care like we do about our own frocks? What do you think?
