why are hairstylists SO unprofessional? | why I don't go to the hair salon!

"Come Washed" LMFAOOO

Speak on it!! 🗣️🗣️ I just did my own braids last month and just did my own big chop today. I’m so over the exploitation, lack of customer service, and all around disrespect.

They are unprofessional becsuse some just don't have any brought-up-sy

Finding a good stylist is hard. My little sister is nonverbal and autistic and very scalp sensitive. There is one stylist who does her hair. She is always on time, courteous, and quick. She knows that me or my dad will tip her $40 cash minimum but doesn't charge an arm and leg even though my little sis can be a cantankerous client. Recently she retired but will still come to my dad's place to do my sis's hair. I don't know what we will do without her, she is getting old.

I am a pet stylist but I can only do so much. I trim my own hair and husband's, but twice a year I go to my local stylist.

Ironically I see the same attitude among Instagram groomers. They are there to make the dog cute for social media, their motivation has nothing to do with grooming. They don't care about pets or their clients.

As an "older" woman, I feel like the Instagram requirement is almost tantamount to age discrimination. A lot of Gen-Xers and older folks don't use social media the way younger people do. A lot of us don't necessarily have TikTok and Insta accounts. If I see that someone has an social media requirement, that says to me that they only want customers who are under 40.

This video aged extremely well. Yikes, it's all blowing up again lol

Humans don’t want to work anymore. Blame the government and the upper class. Working class folk don’t have time for Bs

Absolutely right, it's illegal to record people without consent. They can be sued for stating that in their policies, very bold and dumb move. Both parties must consent, they need to ask in their policies and as you say offering incentives is a good idea to make someone feel comfortable not just basically demand a photo without permission. That can be looked at as bullying, coercion and duress, you gotta be crazy as hell to put that in a policy. 😂 lmao

I agree with all aspects of this video with the exception of saying a makeup artist shouldn't expect to be able to take pics of their work. That's wild to me

People out here charging $750 for a silk press first time customer. It’s crazy out here. Funny thing is this person stays booked.

Rules like this are a response to chronic issues that can be dealt with no other way. Hit people in their pocket books and they WILL listen...Lateness costs money and there is NO excuse for being late(within reason) but I know stylist's have 30 minute windows and lateness just cant apply. Dont be late. Period. The lateness of the stylist can often be linked to 2,3, or 4 chronically late people piggy backing and in domino fashion, progressively screw everyone's day. Strict provisions like this are result of YEARS of people taking advantage, believe it.

Thank you for the education. I am white but, love everything pertaining to hair and wanted to say sorry from the universe about the unethical lazy stylist out there . There seems to be more in the black hair community, But, I. have never dyed my hair or done anything fancy ..other than a horrible perm in 1989 when I was a kid

Restaurant Owners now Hairstylist. Black folk need to understand, that there is honor working in the service industry. This isn't slavery, you freely chose this profession and you are getting paid. I had the same hairdresser for 20+ years until I moved to another state.

How about boycott all salons; because I would then have to pay extra for my length, and thickness; Jesus!!!

Exactly, why I stopped going; last time I paid a professional stylist that I had been going to for years even prior to her having two children, I paid her three hundred dollars for sew in and weave; and she didn't allow me to choose the weave in which, I didn't like my fault for that one; then this heifer tells me that I have to pay the shampoo girl; and I am like I just gave you three hundred dollars why do I have to pay the shampoo girl she isn;t even licensed; then on top of that I gave her an additional $50 dollars for my next booking, so when I contacted her and told her about herself; she got smart as hell with me; so I ask the beotch for a refund; knowing that she wasn't going to give it to me; she then tells me that she will do my hair one more time; and that it will be the last time; I told that heifer why would I want her to do my hair; and that I wasn't getting a refund back; but you see God don't like ugly and he isn't too fond of pretty, so then the pandemic hit and the bitch was out of work for real; so Karma is the Covid-19 in this case!!! And I have never been back since then; being buying all of the wigs; and then I went to the AFricans because I had build rapport with them, and I ran to the bank not to far from the shop and when I returned five minutes laters; somebody else was sitting in my chair; and I am the type of person, I don't allow anyone touching my hair due to unwanted spirits; fast forward My mother passed away two years ago, and that was the last time I went to the shop. So in 2024; I am going to go back to the braid shop simply because we are Muslims and I will give it another go bt far as Salons, no ma''am.

Then when I would go to my cousins house, I would have to take her to the grocery store wait for her to feed or attend to her grandchildren as if I wsn't paying her; chile; I"m done with people who are no longer serving me; so no ma'am these people are all about themselves and dong give a fuk about you and your time; and time is one of the biggest commodities that we will never get back; so I am moving to Alaska; in March, so my girls (wigs will be traveling with me)

A lot of these hairstylist are just plain lazy, charge more do less.

Wait. Why do u look EXACTLY LIKE Reginae Carter?!? 😮😮😮😮😮😮😳

You nailed this...when you called yourself a customer, versus a client. Customers are transactions, where as clients are booked and catered to with an established license. If you're willing to pay to be a client, find a licensed stylist who put their time and effort in earning a cosmetologist's degree and made a career/business of working with and maintaining healthy and groomed hair, to especially include "protective" styles. You are a beautiful young lady and you deserve all that you mention. It's up to you to better discern...the "stylists" are the variables....YOU, are the constant.

As someone with thick hair and 4c hair (I'm natural now)... I feel this. As a person with natural hair, it irritates me when they want me to detangle and wash my own hair. Um... I'm going to you because I need a professional to do that. If I were to wash and detangle my hair, then I might as well do the rest of my hair. It's so funny that I go to people to do my natural hair, and they expect me to detangle and wash my own hair, just so they can put twists in them (which I do request). Though when I go to a person for a silk press, they're able to do it all. Different stylists with different standards.

I refuse to pay more money for less services!! Stylists use to wash and condition your hair, trim it and style for a reasonable price. Now they charge more but what me to do half the work. I should pay half the price!!!

Ohhhh weeee i had a barber who was ALWAYYYYSSSS LATE…kid you not with cherry Jordans on top…I booked my appt. And when I got there he wasn’t there…I called continuously no answer I sat there for a good 2 & half hrs when I finally left he clld and said his phone died and he was playing basketball but he was on his way to the shop to cut my hair…SMDH ridiculous

My husband has been a stylist for over 45 years and he says salons are trippin. $8.00 for a canned soda, 850.00 just fo an install. Come washed and blown out. Girlreally .? Why?

Girl there's a guy in Houston that charges $190.00 for a consult. Just a consult and requires it before working on your hair 😐

It’s rough out here honestly. It cost 5-10k just to get a license. Certain services don’t require a license for Florida. Cause it takes one person reporting you and you can go to jail. This is why some stylists don’t wash and blow dry. That’s considered a service that requires a license. Definitely don’t overcharge and know the laws. However, there is nothing wrong with a home salon just make sure you know the laws. It takes one angry customer and now you got a misdemeanor.

The way hairstylist treat their customers today is disgusting.

Even though customer is being professional, hair stylist act as I they are holier-than-thou and have unsuitable attitude.

Well spoken. Many stylist are not invested in the health of our hair either.

I had a hairstylist say that when she was younger, she would "give me a run for my money" and kept talking about my body the first time I went to get my hair done. I didn't want to end up bald so I didn't say anything but it really isn't right. It was so random and uncalled for, I've had other stylists and yeah one or two were off but I never experienced anything like that before. My husband said it's prob insecurity

The problem is that some people are about two things: themselves and money. Quality, integrity, the client and a work ethic be damned.

Nah all of this is ridiculous. All this shit is sooo unprofessional and it seems like y’all are respecting the hair artist for the most part but they aren’t doing the same back. They just see y’all as $$$

I think some of these IG stylists are just posting hair as a hustle. It is not really a career for them. They are happy getting a lil $25 deposit out of someone for one time if that is all they get. They are not trying to build a clientele and get to the bag.

I’m keeping my services old school I’m glad i watched your video thank business shall booming 🎉

Thank youuuuu for telling me what not to do

Dang!! What if you don’t have SM?! We can’t get our hair did?

I feel ya girl!! Nobody can do your hair like you do💯

I’ve been wearing wigs for years, so I haven’t been to the hairstylist. I recently tried to make an appointment. It was so insanely overcharged and unprofessional that I just put my weight back on.

Entitlement

What. the. sam. grits. is. SIX THOUSAND DOLLARS?! WHAT THE HECK??!!! 😵 What does your investments portfolio look like? SIX THOUSAND DOLLARS? BW need to wake up.

People are getting sub-standard, unprofessional behavior because they tolerate it. You XX folks need to stop wearing anything that XY folks wear to look like you. Start with the lashes and the makeup. Strive for your natural beauty instead of what is being mimicked by "them". Switch it up, XX!

Everything you said is on point. This is very true. I used to LOVE going to the salon. Now, I dread it. The unprofesiional attitudes, the laziness and being taken advantage of has turned me off too. I'm trying to learn how to style my own hair as well until I find a decent stylist who cares. I'm over it.

Ayana fite I totally feel you! This is one of the reasons why I stopped going to the beauty salon and start learning how to do my own hair, which is down my back, no split ends, btw. If I can find a hair stylist where I live, who follows the old standards the professional standards set by the board of health which allows you to be a licensed cosmetologist then I may go to them two or three times a year but so far I've had no such luck.

So its ok to charge me extra if youve overbooked?? No sir, i have left salons because my appointment was at a ser time and you still have 3 heads in the chair trying to get me into the rotation. Nope. Not interested in having 4 different people in my head. Having you do my hair does not mean you do the combing and styling.

You are hilarious but you are telling the truth. I would be in the Salon my entire Saturday. I started watching my beautician do others hair, so I learned to do my own. Never went back.

i haven’t been to a “professional” stylist for years because of everything mentioned in this video ! It takes me one full day to wash/detangle and style my own hair but the time invested is worth it to me !

I remember you can go in the shop get a wash, treatment, blow out, ends trimmed and hair styled for like $60 dollars but hunny not no more.

What I really want to know is…why do they get an attitude and charge so much extra for long/thick hair to braid??? Isn’t it the same amount of time and effort when adding hair??
And also, what is considered appropriate to tip? I usually tip the Braider who braids my daughter’s hair (15 yrs old, no hair added) $15 to $20. I’m not sure if that’s okay.

A year later I’ve been done with stylist since 2019 they are just ridiculous! That app booking an appointment and having to use your credit card insane. Nope done with the entire set up. My number 1 pet peeve is when they style it how they want instead of what you asked for. And all them pictures, videos you not paying me to do that and you should ask first. 80’s,90’s no social media needed if you good ppl will come word of mouth still works! That persons hair done well is your advertisement. I just can’t do stylist anymore and the diva antics. I will go somewhere get my ends clipped and style myself. A lot of white salons may not style our hair but are way more professional with set prices why is that? Get your professionalism game together and stop over booking and over charging ppl!
