Hairdresser reveals the one statement they absolutely hate you saying

While it's usually the client complaining about the hairdresser, turns out it also happens the other way round

We've all got our gripes with hairdressers - but what do they wish they could change about our behaviour while we sit in that godforsaken chair?

I don't think it's any coincidence that hairdresser and horror start with the same letter.

Whether it's having a little trim turned into a full on bop chop, or them nattering away so much that you end up with a wonky fringe - it always seems to be a rather stressful experience.

The truth is that you can read all of the five star reviews in the world, but until you're sat in that chair, you'll have no idea how the two of you will gel.

But that's enough of that, or you'll have me harping on all day.

It turns out hairdressers despise when we utter one specific sentence.

TikToker and hairdresser, The Mobile Hairdressing Guru, spilled all on the platform.

It turns out hairdressers aren't too fond of people saying" "My old hairdresser used to do my hair like this."

But rather than stewing in anger, the hairdresser offered some productive advice for other hair choppers, giving them some tips on how to best respond, rather than just saying, "Well go back to them then!"

She advised: "[You could] say, 'Rather than showing me how your old hairdresser used to do your hair, can you show me some images of what you're hoping to achieve and I'll see if they' will work with your hair type/texture?'

"Rather than getting annoyed by the comment say, 'I appreciate you may be nervous about having your hair done by another hairdresser, but you are in safe hands'. Reassure them and help to calm their nerves."

Good advice.

She then acknowledged that some clients may go on to say something like: "It doesn't look like the when my old hairdresser used to do it," and suggested in this case you might not be a great match.

She continued: "Do your best to offer the best possible outcome, and politely explain that you may not be a good fit for each other."

She then encouraged other hairdressers to give their own advice for a similar situation.

One person replied: "I normally ask what they liked about how they did it or I’ll explain why I do it differently."

A second added: "I don’t see this comment as a problem, if they liked it that way I would try to do it the way she wanted."

A third chimed: "It's when they bring the photo in from 30 years ago and expect it the same way… Love, your hair has gone through the menopause!"

Savage.
