Hi everyone.
Welcome back to my channel.
And in today's video as you can see by the title,
we are going to talk about the five signs that you have a shitty hairdresser.
And I almost want to apologize for that title, but unfortunately if your hairdresser
is following these five things I'm going to talk about
then, I guess there's no other word for it.
So, the first sign is that she doesn't listen to you
nor does she have a good feedback for what it is you're looking for.
Say, you come in and say,
"I want to go platinum blonde and I want to cut my hair to a short bob."
If she just kind of goes, "Okay!" and like starts working,
I would be a little alarmed.
You want a hairdresser that listens,
you want a hairdresser that asks questions to make sure
that you both are on the same page.
A good hairdresser will also have
both feedback and suggestions for the look you are going for.
Often times, the client will think they want a bob
but really what they wanted is a long bob.
So, it's our job as the hairdresser to ask a lot of questions
and maybe offer other suggestions
if the main goal is not attainable in the first appointment.
Which leads me into the second point, which is a hairdresser that always says
yes to everything that you ask for.
So say, you've been going to a million different hairdressers
and you can't achieve your dream hair.
Your hair always comes out orange,
your hair either comes out full of breakage
and you go to another hairdresser and the hairdresser's like,
"Yes, I can do that."
I would question it, if no other hairdresser has been able to do it,
why would this hairdresser be able to,
unless they are extremely qualified,
unless they are experts
in exactly what you're trying to get.
If they just say yes, most likely
you're not gonna end up with what you want
and trust me as hairdressers,
we more than anything want to say yes, we want to please you
and we want to give you what you want.
But it also takes an expert to know whether or not that is possible.
Another sign you have a terrible hairdresser is,
if she's never busy or she's always available,
you can book her for tomorrow
and we all know that with bookings
and rescheduling things can happen,
and you maybe get lucky,
and maybe hairdresser has an opening for you
in the week that you are requesting
but if they are constantly just always available whenever you want to come in,
there's a problem.
She's not in high demand,
she's probably not the greatest,
which again leads me to the next point,
which is her availability does not match her pricing
and so this is say,
someone where you can book for tomorrow
but her prices are extremely expensive.
Obviously, that doesn't really make sense.
That most likely means that you were going to get overcharged for the service
that you were getting.
And I do want to specify that I know it is important
to have different ranges in pricing for hair
and I'm not in any way knocking someone
that charges less for what they do
but what I am saying is someone that is less booked,
should not be charging as much as someone
that is say fully booked.
All right and now for the final sign
that you don't have a great hairdresser
is someone that does not get extended education.
I think it most fields, it is important to learn
about the latest and greatest,
but I feel the beauty industry specifically
is one where you constantly,
constantly need to know what's up and coming and fresh and new ideas.
In cosmetology school one time, I heard the saying that
'if you are giving your client what you learned last month,
you are giving them something old.'
But what comes along also with that extended education
is the knowledge of new and amazing products
that we have available to ourselves now.
I keep saying that it is absolutely the best time to be your hairdresser
because we have the absolute, latest and best to help us achieve really everything
that we want to achieve with our clients hair and if you're not constantly learning
about the latest and greatest, you are not going to know about the newest
and best products for your clients.
All right guys, and that is it.
I hope you found this video helpful.
I hope that this was in no way offensive to anyone.
Also wanted to wish you guys a very happy new year.
