ive always wanted that relationship with my hairdresser but I am just not a talker. And besides it was a big shop so they saw plenty of ppl that came in alot more often than I. And now that I moved away and can nolonger go to that shop I do my own hair.
I used to be a hair stylist before I retired to be a full time mom. Coming from the other side, I think most of us stylists know there are plenty of different kinds of people out there, from those who are friendly, to the oddball nudist who loves to tell a little too much (oh yes I had that one and several other quirky clients), to the person who just wants their hair cut and only speaks when giving their instructions.
I never cut corners on any of my clients no matter what kind of personality they had.I always gave them my best. I will however admit that I would bend over backwards for a client if I knew they appreciated my work for them. Running late? No problem. Cant get here before the salon is closing? I'll keep the lights on. Need an emergency fix? C'mon down. And I think most stylists would do the same.
I had some fantastic people I worked with over the years, who became not just clients, but friends I would see outside of work. I actually just had one former client find me online after having been retired for 3 years and moved out of state. It made me feel so good!
It's all going to depend on how well the personalities of stylist and client combine. When I moved out of state and had to actually find my own stylist, I was very picky, not only for how well they could do hair (although that was majorly important for me) but how well my personality and theirs jived together. It took me awhile to find the perfect fit and now I wont go see anyone else.
Because she is quite expensive most of her customers are well paid professionals and they may think even though she makes good money they are a different class than her.
I seriously, seriously doubt you go to an expensive hairdresser. First of all, you don't work during the day. Second of all, you're a man.
My hairdresser is really cool and we get along very well. We like a lot of the same things and will talk a lot. I let her talk more though, but I am a quiet person by nature and I can tell she enjoys talking.
There have been times when I am very tired and do not feel like talking much though. I'll just flip through mags & sip the coffee or wine they give me.
Maybe this hairdresser needs to remember that people may come to her stressed and tired, and they may see their getting their hair done as a chance to relax and unwind (as you feel a bit pampered), not a chance to socialize.
