so i have a friend who is really good at cutting hair, and she cuts her own (she layers it, trims it, and even layers it herself.) it looks so great that i’ve even had her to my hair a few times, and it always looks amazing. but when i went in to get my hair professionally cut i felt kind of uncomfortable because i felt as if the hairdresser knew my hair hadn’t been cut professionally. it’s not like my hair looked like it had been done by someone who had no idea what they were doing, it was just that i think it could have possibly been kind of uneven. i loved having my friend cut my hair because i feel much more comfortable telling her exactly what i want, i feel weird making a hairdresser re-do things because they don’t turn out like i would want them to. the obvious answer would be to just keep letting my friend do my hair, right? but the problem is that now i’ve started to get my hair professionally dyed, and so my hairdresser can still see my hair up close. also, i don’t know if i’ll never go to the salon to get my hair cut ever again, i probably will.
so do hairdressers like get mad or upset when hair is obviously not done professionally, (especially if they are cutting it and they feel like they have to ‘fix it’) or do they not even care at all?
i totally feel what yer saying !
im thinking the same thing
mine asked me once and i told her my friend did it
and shes like yeah you probably shouldn’t let her again
but my hair looked good…
hah
but yeah they notice but sometimes they say things sometimes they don’t.

They don’t care. They are there to do a job and most do their best with what they have to work with.

I don’t think they would get mad. I mean it’s there job to cut and fix hair.
I mean I know alot of people who cut there hair first and it turned out to be a mess but they go to hair salons to fix it. I don’t think they would get upset about it.

do you really care what they think? they are probably just jealous that they couldnt do such a good job. and they are probably mad that you didnt PAY THEM to cut your hair..

We don’t care unless it is an absolute mess that we have to work hours to fix! If your hairdresser is making you feel uncomfortable, go somewhere else. You pay us to make ur hair look good, not to judge you. If he or she is making you feel self conscious, you need to change salons.

Yes we do care and it is not about the money, it is harder to cut a jaked up hair cut. When you cut hair you make a Guide, and follow that guide around the head, if there is a spot where the guide can’t cut then in some cases it ruins the whole design. Hair cutting is all about the direction you are holding the hair from the head, we are like artists if you have a canvas that is ripped or dirty, the picture you paint does not turn out 100%.

We dont get mad. We just dont understand it. I mean, thats our job. We cut hair, so its just funny when you come in and your hair is all uneven and jacked up and we have to fix it. Cutting hair is more than just using scissors. There are actual techniques and theorys to cutting hair and certain ways you have to hold the hair to know how its going to fall. I’m sure your hairdresser has more to worry about than you cutting your hair, but Im not going to lie it makes us giggle a little.
