1. I'm a beautician, not a magician. As much as I wish I could wave a magic wand and make it happen, my color brush is the best I have. I'll try my hardest.
2. Please don't hit on me when I'm cutting your hair. I'm awkward enough in general, don't make me feel more uncomfortable.
3. My products make your hair look and feel great because they are high end, your hair is my canvas and I treat it with care. If you leave and use that $3 shampoo from CVS, chances are the color will fade and all of my work will be gone sooner than need be. Stop with the discounted low-end products.
4. The picture you're showing me is probably either 1- photoshopped or 2- six sessions in. Sometimes it's going to take a bit to get where you want. Patience.
5. Generally, you should tip your hair dresser. As we work long hours and do as much as we can to make you feel and look beautiful, a general rule of thumb is to tip for our quality, not quantity.
6. I have a life, too. I do have family and friends outside of the salon. So when I don't reply to you at 1am, please don't take offense to my absence. My job is demanding, but my sleep and free time is cut down enough. I can't stay up all night to talk to you about your split ends, however I would be more than happy to help you during business hours.
7. This isn't a spa treatment for me, it's for you. Relax, chill out. Yes I'm doing this right, yes I'm sure. Let me do what I need to do, I promise I won't ruin your hair.
8. Your child is running around in freshly cut hair (good luck getting those hair splinters out,) and screaming like a maniac. Please be courteous at least of my other clients. Control your child.
9. If you come in with black hair and want to go blonde, expect orange. Like I said, I'm not a magician.
10. I don't care if you use your phone during your appointment, however please be courteous of my time and job. Please keep the phone calls limited while I am personally touching your hair.
