Have you cut back on haircuts etc.?why did you leave last stylist?

Question

I've been a hairstylist 20 years. always had a descent following.It seems as if I have days where I do one or two poeple and come home.Here in the united states the gas prices are so high that I think that is part of it.have you cut back? what made you leave your last stylist? I know turn around is normal but I wonder sometimes if I need to do anything else.any suggestions.

Answer 1

I've only had two stylists. The first one (long time ago) I left because she was arrogant, non-receptive and unprofessional, in that she did not listen to her clients (including myself) and had a tendency to gossip incessantly to each about the other. I wanted to be a faithful client, and did express my discomfort to her, but things did not change, I became tired of her and went on my way.

Fortunately, I had already known my current stylist, we have been friends since our early 20's. As a stylist she shares her insight but is receptive, affable, professional, and does only a little sh*t talking, hehe.

I haven't left her for about 6 years or so, but since last year I trim or cut my own hair to save money, only go to her if I want a change in colour, style or a special treatment.

Yes, I do think that you should do something else on the side, if you notice a decrease in income/clientele or do not have clients whom are financially able to maintain.

People are struggling, stylists (and their clients) the same.

Answer 2

My hair is half way down my back because I can't afford haircuts anymore. But my husband likes my hair this way.

Also, it's hard to find a really good stylist without a bad attitude in my area. They take one look at a person and decide he or she will be a lousy tipper--and treat them accordingly. As bad as the economy is you should treat everyone like your favorite customer.

Answer 3

Nope i hate nappy hair... I get haircuts every week. I need to keep my fade on lock.
