Why we all dread going to the hairdresser

accreditation

Melinda:

Good day

I hate going to the hairdresser as I find it too time-consuming. I also get sleepy when the stylist is blow-drying my hair. 

My hair is only done within one hour and I feel so lazy that I head home to sleep. Since I have invested in a hairdryer and flat iron, I am done in 10 minutes.

Barbra:

Let me tell you about my last visit to a (new) hairdresser:

My request: "I would like 2 colour highlights, and you can cut as you want to, but please don’t make my fringe too short or thin it out to much."

Simple, right?

Of course.

What I got was one colour highlights, and a very short and thin fringe. Oh, and as a bonus, I got one side longer than the other.

Love and troublesome locks.

Hi there

I am also one of those that do not like going to the hairdresser. I go maybe twice a year but always around Christmas time (who doesn't want to have perfect hair over the festive season?) 

I have a sensitive scalp, so the hair washing is the worst for me. My pet peeve is also the stylist that brushes the knots out without any care, just pulling that brush through my hair like they're trying to wrangle an animal that's loose in there.

But the most pressing question I have is: why are most hair stylists so scissor happy?! You can ask for a 2cm trim and when they've completed the cut, your hair is 10cm shorter! 

All the above said, I love walking out of that salon, all fresh and with perfect hair (unless it's raining). So I'll put aside my misery to look like a million bucks the two times a year I do go to the hair salon.

Yours in luscious locks (some of the time).
