I think I just had a poor experience with the stylist I got, E. She just didn’t seem to want to cut my hair. Right from the start, she didn’t engage in much of the normal relaxing chatter, which is slightly awkward but fine. However, when she did speak it was usually with an obvious tone of irritation. I felt guilty when I asked her to alter something she had cut, because she seemed so annoyed with me, actually saying something along the lines of ‘*sigh* I guess I’ll have to recut it now’.
That was the mostly what made me feel down, but also she blow dried my hair in a very strange way and made it look like a cheap wig. I have had my hair done before, and Ive never walked out of a salon looking like my hair is fake and frizzy. I kept expecting her to finish it with cool air or a serum or anything but nope.
The whole experience with E just wasn’t as pleasant or enjoyable as I know it should be, and usually is at salons. The other stylists were smiling and chatting away so I don’t imagine their clients felt as weird and guilty and awkward as I did. I just got the distinct feeling that I was a drag for coming in to get my hair cut.
Would not recommend this stylist, but the salon itself seemed fine.
