QuoteReplyTopic: I`m Still needing advice. Posted: January 28 2002 at 9:57pm
Hi everyone,
I`m still bothered by the new salon my hairdresser moved to. I dont know if its because I was so comfortable at her previous salon or what it is. I just dont like the new salon. I asked her if she ever had clients come to her home or if she went to her clients home and she said no. I feel like I need to tell her I dont like the new salon, but I dont want to hurt her feelings. I hate to just cancel my appointment and not go see her anymore without telling her why. I need advice.

With all due respect, I think you`re being too fussy. It seems to me that what is most important is that you`re comfortable with the person cutting your hair and the job she does. You`re only in the beauty salon for a short time, yet you have to live full-time with the results!
In short, we can`t control everything in life, so we have to choose what is most important.
At least you`re allowed into beauty salons today. A few decades ago, you would have been laughed right out of the beauty parlor.

I see your point. Now i feel bad about it. I`m glad i`m allowed in beauty salons now. I have always gone to one though because my grandmother was a hairdresser. I`m comfortable with my hairdresser. I think she is great. I think I`ve let my fears get the best of me. WOW, Jennifer you really humbled me with your last sentence of " At least you`re allowed into beauty salons today. A few decades ago, you would have been laughed right out of the beauty parlor." I`m sorry, I hope i didn`t offend anyone here in the message board. I should really be happy I found my hairdresser. Thanks for your advice.

No, you`re not a heel at all! You simply did what each and every one of us does to varying degrees -- allow the (ultimately) inconsequential details to run our lives.
Btw, I think it is extremely sweet that you would bring flowers to your stylist! When you find someone that you really like, count your blessings and take care of her. :-)
Take good care,
Jennifer

I went to see my hairdresser today. I took her some really pretty flowers, a Boyds Bear figurine that shows two bears in a beauty salon, and a thank you card. I told her I was sorry if i ever hurt her feelings in any way. I didn`t mean to in any way. She told me that i had`nt hurt her feelings at all. She told me I was one of her favorite clients and she looks forward to my visits. She asked me what gave me the idea that i had upset her. I said no reason, just thought i might have. I wanted to tell her I was still having difficulty with her move to the new salon. I`m trying to get used to it. I know I`m lucky just to be going to a beauty salon, and i feel very grateful to her. I still feel very uncomfortable. I hav`nt told her why i feel uncomfortable there though. I`m asking myself if i should or not. The owner of the salon the last time i was there was listening in on my conversation with my hairdresser. When my hairdresser went to the back room to mix up the color for my highlights. He walked over to this drawer and pulled out clippers waved them around in front of me and put them on his table, right where i could see them. I knew he was not going to use them on the lady that was seated in his chair because she had hair that was mid way down her back. I was there the whole time his client was there, and when she left so did he. This really upset me. Maybe I`m wrong here in my thinking. I havent wanted to tell anybody about how much this angered me until now. i was afraid that i could cause her trouble. This is one of the major reasons why I dont like this new salon. He`s there everytime i go into the salon. The whole time i was at the salon after i gave her the gifts i stayed quiet and kept my eyes closed. I never said a word. She kept asking me why i was so quiet. I told her i just was`nt feeling well. I guess from now on I should just stay quiet and keep my eyes closed while i`m at the salon.
