I once had a woman tell me about her wedding hair experience. It was long before she started coming to me. It seems the client had a vision of what she wanted. She brought photos to help with a visual as well as the hair crystals she wanted in her updo. Some of these photos from magazines had similar gems in them. Upon seeing the gems the stylist told her, “no one does that anymore”. Who’s wedding was it? If a bride tells me they want their great-grandmother’s brooch incorporated into their style I would never say, “No one does that” or “that’s not in style anymore”. If someone brings me a photo, bridal or every day, and I think their hair is not going to be able to support that style (if you have super thin short hair and you want to look like Jennifer Aniston circa the ‘Friends’ years) I will try to impress upon my client the differences in hair type, length, etc. But for something that a bride has been thinking about for a long time, something as simple as hair jewelry, is it up to me? Never. Sometimes we as stylists face a difference in opinion from the vision of our client but at no point does that give us the right to make a negative of it. My job is to make sure my client is happy – even if no one does that anymore.

A “quick” haircut
So let’s talk briefly about this. What is a “quick” haircut? Do you want me to wash and dry your hair? Do you want it styled while I dry it? Do you have hair down to your waist? None of these will lead to a quick haircut. If you are in a hurry please do not to expect to make up for lost time in my chair. A quick haircut consists of you sitting in my chair, we talk about the 16th of an inch you want taken off and I cut it dry. No wash, no style. I’ll blow the little pieces out with my dryer and if you’d like I’ll spray it but that’s it. And yes, it is a full price haircut.
