I would go to one that you pay a high price for and tip for if they know they have a good pay and tip coming there more likely to do a good job. I go in there and i put my fist down and i look them dead in the eye Im not nice at all whe ni go see my stylist if that hurts there feelings to bad im not going there to make a friend. I also state do not talk to me while you cut my hair i want you to concentrate so dont talk to anyone or get up and leave. I tell them up front I am going to tip you such and such amount by following what i say. If you dont I wont tip you this amount so listen to what i say i am a client and want what i feel is best for MY hair.  I also make them show me where they are going to cut before they can cut into it. YOu just have to make some serious boundaries with them and make some ground rules. Ive gone to the same lady now I think she gets my drift and knows how to act around me.

I agree, Hairbraider, and Dave!!!

Many good points made here.  I wonder why you sought out this stylist again, SugarCube.  I hope your hair is okay and mostly (if not almost entirely) intact.

I even showed her how much on her comb, ans told her that my hair is curly, if you take 1 in off,it will respond like 3.  I ended up with an 8-12 inch "trim". Sometimes, I think that they just think they know best.She though my hair was o thick, so she took a razor to it from the shoulders down ( remember it was at my waist).

There is absolutely no excuse for stylists to behave this way.  It is extremely unprofessional, yet I read (and personally hear about!) such stories all the time.  Such stylists need to learn to put aside their own personal preferences and just honor their clients' requests.

I was just wondering the same thing. SugerCube, is everything all right?
