Is she rude? Should i find another stylist?

Question

I have now graduated and am finally finacially able to pick my own stylist. Where before i was stuck with whomever my mom was going to at the time. Well now i am undecided as to if i should change stylist or not. Shes great with my hair but sometimes she says things that are maybe a little buit rude. Two incidences stick out in my mind in particular. Like once my now exfiance dropped me off at my stylist salon to get a relaxer. He was going to head to the sporting goods store across the street while he waited for me. So he asked my stylist very politely how long was everything going to take so he would know what time to come back to get me. She looked him up and down and rolled her eyes and told him "well how ever long it takes is how long". I was shocked i told my mom and she said that my stylist acted like that bc he was white and if he had been black should wouldnt have acted that way. The second thing that sticks out in my mind is comments she makes about my fore head and me wearing my hair in a ponytail. When im not going anywhere special i like to just pull my hair back its quick and easy. She throws a fit everytime she sees this saying my my forehead is "too big" for a pony tail and i should try to conceal it.She said this loud in front of other customers whilst pointing at my forehead. I know have kind of a prominent forehead(think tyra and christina ricci) but i dont care about concealing my forehead yeah its kinda big but who cares. In the past i could not leave bc my mom LOVES her and wouldnt pay for me to go anywhere else. Now i can choose bc i have my own money so im thinking of leaving to find someone less abrasive. What do you guys think? Was she rude? Should i find another stylist?

Answer 1

this sounds evil but.....

I think you should go there to get your hair done one more time. if she says something rude, make it known in front of other customers. Stand up, tell her that she's been rude to you on many occasions, and walk out. You and other customers don't deserve that.  

Answer 2

I would find another stylist, it's your money, and you shouldn't pay people to be rude and insult you like that..

Answer 3

yahh u should

Answer 4

yes she was definitely..

you need find a new stylist

shes not supposed to be rude to customers geez..  

Answer 5

Sure there is nothing wrong with going to a different stylist. In fact in some polls and surveys people generally switch stylist every 2, 3 or even 4 years. While others stick with who they know and like their cut and service.  If you feel that she was rude, then hey there is nothing wrong with going somewhere different. Just research a little about different places, get other peoples opinions, find out where they go and what they like about their stylist/salon, etc. Bottom line is you are a customer, and having good service along with a good haircut is just as important.

Answer 6

i wold leave...  

Answer 7

She seems extremely rude and unprofessional. Talk to your friends or ask someone who's hair you like where they go to get their hair done. But defiantly change stylist.  

Answer 8

for a stranger yeah thats kinda rude. i'd find another stylist.

good luck!

Answer 9

I would change stylist if i was you. I certainly wouldn't pay and especially tip someone who was rude to me or my family. You can find someone just as good with hair that isn't rude to you.

Answer 10

Yes! You're the one paying her, she should at least be nice. If not she doesn't deserve your money, go find someone else (:

Answer 11

Oh yes, she was a bit rude... I think when you go to a hair stylist you should be comfortable... You should definitely find another one...

Answer 12

I would get a new stylist.  You should enjoy the pampering and primping that you get from going to the stylist, but it sounds like it's not really a very enjoyable experience for you.

Go for it - find your own.  And love every minute of it!!!

Answer 13

shes very rude! and i think that now that you can afford more options and you are able to choose for yourself you should switch stylists.

Answer 14

Are you kidding? Of course find another stylist. Even negative "jokes" are bad for your psyche, your subconscious takes it in without filtering it. So stay away from negative people.

Answer 15

RUDE...My stylist asked me what I wanted to look like..and I said Farah Fawcett. She came back with I'm a Beautician NOT a magician.

THEN I went to another one and they talked about their kids having head lice...%^^&& gross.

OK so this is not about me.

You are going to someone that is expressive. It is her culture. If you like what she does for your hair....hang in there. She does not mean to be offensive.  Her culture is to be direct. She really is thinking she is helping you...one the forehead,

Just laugh like h**l every time she says something you do not like.. Then tell her..."d**n girl you are funny"

Or how about

"You know I was going to leave you a five dollar tip, now it's down to four,..keep it up".

She may lighten up.

Think of her as a comedy show..but eventually you will want a new stylist.  Always surround your self with positive people...

But I don't think she is negative, sweetie, she is just direct. If you want the best looking style, do you want someone to lie to get the tips??? or someone that will be honest???

I think she just does not realize she is too direct. That's all.

Diamond in the rough.

Life's too short. Go where you feel best.

OH..and very sorry you got rude responses before...I only like rude if they are exceptionally funny...and impressively witty.

Answer 16

She is REALLY rude. I would find someone else. Maybe she will see that her attitude is costing her money. I know its hard to find someone who can do your hair the way you like but I'm sure there is someone else as skilled as her but with a better attitude.

Answer 17

i think you should find another stylist, no stylist should act like that towards a costumer, and most stylists who do would most likely get fired. so i do think she was rude lol, good luck :)

Answer 18

She is very rude. I think her saying that about

your forehead is crazy. I mean who asked her

opinion and then she says it in front of people.

I would find another stylist. I mean their service

is hair but also customer service. You shouldn't

have to take that abuse. I have never had one treat

me bad and have been to many. Most of the time

they kiss your butt for a nice tip :) Maybe cause

she's your mom's friend she thinks she can do it?

I'd go somewhere else.

Answer 19

If your unhappy enough to post this about her than obviously you should go somewhere else and not worry about what people think or say about you.  

Answer 20

yeah you should chage stylist, she seems very rude

Answer 21

This is rude and unprofessional behavior.  I suggest getting another stylist, or begin saying rude things back to her til she stops. But, do this after the cut/dye is done, as she can f**k up your hair on purpose.

Answer 22

PICK ANOTHER STYLIST!

SHe seems like a BlTCH.
