I have had many haircuts in my life, but I will have to say this one was the most uncomfortable by far.
I was scheduled to see Leah, I was told she knows all about short hair.
My previous stylist is a master stylist. She has been a M.S. For over 17 years, has been a teacher, received recognitions, she is very very good at her craft. She cuts after styling, so my hair always lays nice and styles well.
So after coming to GA for a few months, I needed to find a new stylist.
Leah right off the bat seemed uptight that I was not going to be a permanent client.
My hair is short. My last cut was 5 weeks ago, so it is super easy to follow where the last cuts were and to repeat it. I told her I wanted to keep my style, the date it was cut, and just to trim it up just like it is.
So she started pulling up sections of hair and telling me how my last stylist did this part wrong, and that part wrong and I couldn't style it now because of what was done to my hair.
Woa......
My hair was fine. Always easy to style. It was not styling as well this week because it was growing out....that happens.
So she began to chop my hair and go beyond the previous cut lines :(
When she asked me if I wanted more off and I again told her I just want to keep my last cut, I like my hair, she rolled her eyes at me and gave me the teenager face....the one where you are stupid and "whatever".
She asked me what products I use....I told her spray volumizer, hair putty, I have good products. Well not according to Leah.
She cut my hair, actually over cut my hair when it was dirty dry, and then washed it. After, I'm sitting in the wash chair and she asks what style product do I want in my hair, so I told her volume spray. She tells me her Mousse is better. And she went on and on about hers versus my knowledge of products.
So I just looked at her and said to just use whatever, since I don't have a say so.
She would ask me a question about one thing I like about my hair, or how I felt about a technique, and then she would strike me down with her knowledge and my stylist didn't do my hair well.....
So miss priss turned me away from the mirror and cut more off the sides by my ears, because she knows way more about my hair and my style than I do, uh no she doesn't. She chopped more off the top sides also. Then on went the mousse and she kept me turned away from the mirror as she blew my hair dry. She didn't style my hair, she blew it out like a man's cut. Then she wants to know if I want hairspray. I declined.
She told me I could go back to my last stylist.
Excuse me?
I talked to the front desk woman but a manager never called me.
No lie, this was like a supercuts session. She is not a master of the craft. Master stylists do not treat you like that. You have input about your hair, the style.
If I wanted a "leah special" I would have asked
What you did to me was over chop hair above my ears so it now bumps out higher up. Looks pathetic. Then you overcut the sides I just asked for the slight amount off of, so now the top is poofy and it doesn't look feminine. And the bang area, had you cut that right it would lay nice. But you didn't. Thanks for making alot more work for me every day to fix your mistakes as best as I can until it grows out.
You are unprofessional, with a bad attitude.
If you make everyone feel bad about who cut their hair last, what products they use, or they know nothing, you my dear will be in a new career soon.
Because you suck at this. read more
