How does that...Anonymous (Thursday March 29, 2012)<br /><br />How does that justify being rude to a customer? There are plenty of people who get paid that amount and aren't rude.<br />If you are unhappy in your job, find a new one. <br />Nobody forced you into doing three years of training for a job that pays minimum wage. That is down to YOUR OWN poor choices in life, again, it does not allow you to insult customers. All the customer wants is their hair done and they want it to be pleasant experience.... I don't think that is too much to ask. If you're a nice person, being nice comes naturally. If it's too hard for you to NOT insult people, then you shouldn't be in a customer service position at all. <br /><br />This sort of thing is very common with hairdressers. I am making the choice to not stand for it anymore. The next hairdresser who is audacious enough to insult me will lose me as a customer, on the spot. <br /><br /><br /><br /><br />Missykittenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11713864725072947281noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3884159980205835302.post-48263646140853717382012-04-06T08:13:06.141+09:302012-04-06T08:13:06.141+09:30Sweetaholic- it is so hard finding the perfect hai...Sweetaholic- it is so hard finding the perfect hairdresser. <br /><br />And I hate how they don't like something on you, so they sometimes "refuse" to do it.

Although I understand where Anon is coming from; there is NO excuse for insulting a customer's choice of hair product or choice of hair style. <br />I have been going back and forth to different hair dressers searching for one who isn't demeaning. I had a hair dresser tell me I should stop dying my hair black (as if it's any of their business) as it's too "goth." I am not goth, at all! And so what if I was? What if that was the style I liked? <br />My BF also went to a hair dresser (he has somewhat longer hair) and asked for just a trim.. she cut it SO short, he had to get it practically shaved off! <br /><br />Some hair dressers can be lovely, I had a lovely one before I moved away! It's just a shame that some can be bullies!Sweetaholic Beautyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03002491819221383850noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3884159980205835302.post-66482922827196867202012-04-01T21:55:31.633+09:302012-04-01T21:55:31.633+09:30Anonymous. Thanks for your view on the other side ...Anonymous. Thanks for your view on the other side of being a hairdresser. I know there are some AMAZING hairdressers out there, and many don't get much credit. I work in retail so I understand how stressful it can be dealing with rude customers and targets. My biggest gripe was the fact that she kept insulting me and then pushing products. THAT was her sales technique. Such a horrible technique!! Belittling a customer who is being nice is being a bully. Luckily there aren't many out there like that :) Most are wonderful!!!Bottled Beautyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01966030515553989872noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3884159980205835302.post-61584397847241211652012-03-29T20:29:19.963+10:302012-03-29T20:29:19.963+10:30Have you ever thought about the poor hairdresser a...Have you ever thought about the poor hairdresser and the constant pressure that she is put under EVERY day? Not only has she/he Studied for 3 years to get payed $17 an hour but she/he probably has missed out on her lunch break to spend longer on your hair, has been standing ALL day, get urine infections from not being able to go to the toilet because there is not enuff time and gets told constantly by her boss to sell the products or she won't have a job. The constant rude clients that she has in every day make her sit in her staff room crying but she still returns every day because she loves what she does, have a heart. Not everyone can look like Jennifer Aniston but we do try our best with what we have.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3884159980205835302.post-3661426890560885512012-03-15T12:34:14.242+10:302012-03-15T12:34:14.242+10:30Aaargh I can relate!

I was just so shocked last night!<br /><br />Ohh Steph, its so hard when you have no choice where to go. The only other option is spending lots of money travelling an hour or two!! Its not only a pricey trip, but takes up all day.<br /><br />Sue, my hubby goes to an Asian hairdresser, and so does a friend. She pays less than $20 for a blowdry every week! And it looks amazing. Have you tried Sunsilk's new Keratinology range? Its amazing as everything is under $13. It is honestly better than most salon products!! And she did make me feel inferior!! <br /><br />Moxie, I know!!!! I wonder how many poor women have been pressured to buy products from her, even when they really can't afford it. <br /><br />Thanks Ingrid! Keep continuing to love using it!!! :)Bottled Beautyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01966030515553989872noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3884159980205835302.post-22438164475916396362012-03-15T07:13:39.420+10:302012-03-15T07:13:39.420+10:30Thank you for sharing hun - I am sorry you had a b...Thank you for sharing hun - I am sorry you had a bad experience.

I...Oh gosh, so sorry to hear about your experience! I would most definitely feel the same way! I started going to Asian hairdressers a few years back because firstly the caucasian hairdressers weren't too good with dealing with Asian hair, and secondly they seemed to judge everything I used and always made me feel inferior to them!<br />I'm using supermarket brands of shampoo atm because I'm a student on a budget. I would LOVE to have the luxury of forking out $30 + for a bottle of shampoo but I simply cannot justify it. I have heard so many raves about various products but at this point in time, I just have to deal with supermarket brands - which have been working fine for me. <br />I agree that it's very important to NEVER assume anything about a customer. You'd think these hairdressers would have training in how to deal with customers so they can retain them but nope, apparently not!Sue // www.suelovexx.comhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05458447441531972929noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3884159980205835302.post-34073857683824117982012-03-14T22:59:33.511+10:302012-03-14T22:59:33.511+10:30You aren't overreacting. I haven't been so...You aren't overreacting. I haven't been so much as bullied but I am sick of my hairdresser not listening to me. I have been going to the same local hairdresser for around 5 years and now she just does what she wants with my hair not what I request. I wanted a middle part but she went ahead and did a side part, she never listens to how much I want cut off. I am now looking for a new hairdresser - only problem is being in the country I am going to have to travel around an hour there and back. But to me my hair is worth it :)Stephaniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08627080154264662533noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3884159980205835302.post-21776604151220754752012-03-14T22:57:48.508+10:302012-03-14T22:57:48.508+10:30Oh no what a horrible experience, some hairdresser...Oh no what a horrible experience, some hairdressers go a bit ott for sure.
