QuoteReplyTopic: haircut Posted: December 15 2007 at 3:49pm
I got my hair cut yesterday. I got 2 &1/2 inches cut. I really needed it. I really like the cut and my hair feels much better. I got a few face framing layers put in
I do have a question: my stylist used a brush on my hair when it was wet (hurt really bad and tangled my hair and it was a plastic bristled paddle brush) and she used a razor to cut my layers. if I go back to her should I ask her to not use a brush on my hair when wet and to not razor my layers?
I am moving in a few days and may be looking for a new stylist. is it rude for me to ask the person doing my hair to use certain tools and not to brush my hair when wet?
I am at 32"

I personally think it makes perfect sense that you should be able to ask them to use (or not use) certain things on your hair...and if they wanted to keep a paying customer they'd listen. I don't have a lot of experience with salons though so I'm not sure...

Some long haired people actually call and set up an "interview" with their stylist where they gauge how long-hair-friendly the person cutting their hair will be. If they don't think they can trust them, they don't schedule a haircut. Be polite of course and say please, but you are certainly able to request what you don't want done (especially a razor cut), and you can walk out of there before they start if they don't sound willing to listen.

No way will a razor ever touch my wife's hair, Lickalime! (lol) YOU are the paying customer; i.e., the boss! I've seen magnified ends after razor jobs, and they are thin, uneven and wispy. As for brushes on wet hair, I think they cause plenty of damage. maybe even on dry hair. Most stylists are NOT skilled in cutting long hair, and I believe that many actually do things to create disappointment and return visits. Blessings, Bob
