Alright, let’s gab about this hair thing, you know, do hairdressers get mad when you go to someone else? It’s like this, you go to the same gal for years, maybe she’s alright, maybe she ain’t. But then, you see someone else’s hair, all shiny and bouncy, and you think, “Well, shoot, I want that!”
So, do hairdressers get mad if you ditch ’em? I reckon it depends. Some of them are right touchy, you know? They get their feathers all ruffled if you even look at another pair of scissors. But others, well, they’re just tryin’ to make a livin’. They figure, you gotta do what you gotta do.
Now, if you’re switchin’ hairdressers but stayin’ at the same shop, that’s a whole different kettle of fish. It’s like changin’ lanes on the highway, gotta be careful, don’t wanna cause a wreck. You could, you know, just kinda mumble somethin’ to your old hairdresser, like, “Hey, I’m gonna try out so-and-so this time.” Keep it short and sweet. No need to go into a whole song and dance about it.
- Be polite, ya hear? Say somethin’ nice like, “You did a good job, but I’m lookin’ for somethin’ different.”
- Don’t go blabbin’ all over town about how the new gal is better. Word gets around, and nobody wants bad blood.
- Maybe just send a text, somethin’ like, I’m gonna try someone else next time. Keep it short, ya know?
But what if you’re goin’ to a whole ‘nother place? Well, then it gets a bit trickier. See, some folks think you gotta tell your old hairdresser. They say it’s polite, the right thing to do. But me? I ain’t so sure. It’s like breakin’ up with a fella, sometimes it’s easier to just disappear.
I mean, what are you gonna say? “Hey, I’m leavin’ you for that fancy salon downtown, they got them newfangled chairs and give you free coffee!” Sounds kinda mean, don’t it? Plus, who wants a big ol’ awkward conversation? I’d rather just sneak out the back door, if you know what I mean.
Now, some of these fancy websites, they tell ya all sorts of things. They say you gotta be honest but polite. They say you gotta express appreciation. Sounds like a load of hogwash to me. I ain’t got time for all that fancy talk. I’m too busy tryin’ to get my hair lookin’ decent, and that ain’t easy, let me tell ya.
But I guess if you’re feelin’ guilty, you could mumble somethin’ about wanting to “explore a different style.” That sounds kinda sophisticated, don’t it? Like you’re not just ditchin’ them, you’re on some kind of hair journey. Or you could just say you’re lookin’ for a change, simple as that.
And if your hairdresser gets all huffy and puffy? Well, that’s their problem, not yours. Like they say, it ain’t personal, it’s just business. You gotta do what’s best for you and your hair. If that means switchin’ hairdressers, then so be it.
Switching hairstylists ain’t the end of the world. It happens all the time. People move, they change their minds, they find someone new. It’s just part of life. So don’t go losin’ sleep over it. And don’t let nobody guilt-trip you into stayin’ with a hairdresser you ain’t happy with. Your hair, your choice, that’s what I say.
So, to answer the question, should you tell your hairdresser you are going somewhere else? Well, it’s up to you. If you’re a goodie-two-shoes, go ahead and tell ’em. But if you’re like me, just slip away quietly and don’t look back. Life’s too short to worry about hurtin’ a hairdresser’s feelings, especially when there are so many other things to worry about, like gettin’ supper on the table and keepin’ the chickens outta the garden.
And remember, if you’re switchin’ within the same salon, call or text your old stylist first. Just a heads-up, ya know? Keeps things from gettin’ too awkward. But if you’re going somewhere else completely, then you think about what I said. Sometimes it’s better to just make a clean break. Hairdressers get it. Or they should.
And another thing, if they get mad, that’s their problem. You’re payin’ them for a service, and if you ain’t happy, you move on. It’s like buyin’ a bad tomato, you ain’t gonna go back to the store and apologize to the farmer, are ya? Nah, you’re gonna find yourself a better tomato. Same thing with hairdressers.
So, there you have it. My two cents on this whole hairdresser drama. Now, if you’ll excuse me, I gotta go find my rollers. This hair ain’t gonna do itself, you know.
