This article is hitting home ! I had to cut ties with my hairstylist last month (been seeing for two years) she has 30 yrs of experience but her delivery and the way she would respond to my questions or put down Youtube and just every little thing. She was good at silk presses but was impossible to have a conversation with and ask questions bc she couldn’t fathom that I didn’t know certain hair things …why would i??? i’m not a hairdresser.
Anyway, after I left emotionally shaken for days I finally decided i was done. I do my own hair and have for 10 years, only going to salons for trims…but yeah no. i’ll find a new person.
Thank you! I understand what you’re saying for sure. Some stylists can definitely come across a certain way when being asked questions which always made me turned off. Id much rather deal with the stress of figuring out my own hair than potentially feeling belittled.
