I've noticed things since becoming a hairdresser. Things, that, ultimately, make MY job easier. 1. If you are coming to the salon with the idea of "Change", bring ideas with you. Especially if this is an impulsive move. Rip out magazine pictures, troll the internet looking for ideas. We don't mind the pressure of coming up with something different, but we'd really like your input, since you will be walking around with our work on your head!! 2. Teach your teenagers, especially BOYS, how to SIT UP STRAIGHT for extended periods of time. I'm 5'2"...constantly stretching to reach a kid's head because they cannot sit up straight is PAINFUL. And constantly reminding them to sit up is irritating. I blame this on hand held games and cell phones...everyone is constantly hunched over these things!! 3. A lot of people use CHEAP products on their hair, in the interest of saving money. Here's a project for you...keep track of how often, during a 6 month period of time, you purchase said products. I have always used professional products, even before becoming a professional (allergies/sensitivities). They last soooo much longer!! Save your money & SPLURGE at your local salon!!! You wind up using 1/10 of an ounce of shampoo, and 1/20 of an ounce of conditioner (yes, I've measured) and it lasts sooo much longer! The liter bottles can last up to a year, depending on how frequently you wash your hair! Same with the big containers of styling product! A large can of mousse can last at least 6 months!! I'm sure I'll add to this one as time moves on...these were things that have come up in recent weeks and I just wanted to get them out there!! Merry Christmas!!
