Very very upset about my hair and very very frustrated at the hairstylist! Arghhhhh!
I think I'm not a difficult customer and generally I can accept creativity, or rather, appreciate creativity of hairstylists. BUT, this time, this stylist makes me real mad!
First, I went with a picture, consulted him if I'd look better with the hairstyle in the picture, or should I just trim my hair. He told me the one in the picture is nicer. Ok, then I told him to go ahead.
I went on to read some magazines and halfway through the haircut, he asked me if the length was ok. I was shocked to see that he only trimmed my hair! I asked why is it that we agreed on the hairstyle in the picture yet he still cut based on my previous style. His reply was he was afraid I cannot accept the one in the picture.
Then he went on to say that if I wanted that, he'll go on to cut that. Hello! We agreed on that based in your recommendation in the first place!
Nevermind, I thought that was quite clear but after a while, he cut my hair super duper short and it look nothing like the picture I showed him! So I stopped him and ask why so. He kept insisting it's the same although I can point out at least 3 radical differences. Then he said there's no such thing as 100% similar to customer's requirements.
I told myself not to overeact or put too much pressure on the hairstylist. Must trust professional! Then at the end of the haircut, my hair at the side very 翘! I asked him why, because I want a low maintenance hairstyle which I stated at the beginning. I told him to find a solution to it so that it won't 翘. I even told him my hairstylist usually layer it.
Then he became very defensive and ask if I have cut such short hair before. I replied yes, I have cut even shorter ones. He said usually people cut short hair the hair will 翘 and it's normal! Hello!! Didn't I say I have cut even shorter hair but it doesn't 翘?!?!?!
I got really sick of his rubbish and decided not to talk to him. He got his assistant to blow dry my hair and assured me that after blow drying it will look much better with 层次.
In the end, I looked very much the same! Guess his explanation? He said my hair is too straight and neat, that's why couldn't bring out the essence of the hairstyle!!
Icon at Wisma, will not patronize ever!!
