5 Confessions of Our Hairstylists…

Every profession harbours its own secrets unknown to outsiders, and guess what? Hairdressing is no exception! Our stylists have compiled our top 5 confessions...

1.       We cannot remember where you part your hair

In our industry, there's a timeless joke… We can recall your cousin's, brother's, wife's, step-sister's names, but we can NEVER remember where you part your hair. It's a mystery! With only three options, left, right, or middle, it seems we get it wrong every time. We tell ourselves it’s because we see so many faces each day, but I’m not certain that’s it… Oh well, it keeps us laughing! Haha.

2.       We hate washing our own hair

Styling our own hair at home or before work often feels like the most challenging task imaginable. We genuinely adore creating beautiful hair for you, but somehow, our own hair requires so much more effort than it seems worth. Please forgive us if our hair doesn't always exude the same glamour and smoothness as yours when you walk out the door!

3.       When a client comes in wanting a ‘big chop’ we don’t know whether to be excited or scared

This is a significant moment, and it often stirs a mix of excitement and apprehension! The excitement stems from our desire for you to adore your new look, yet the thought of such a dramatic change can be nerve-wracking we worry you might not like it. That's why we bombard you with questions beforehand: "How short exactly?" "Do you still want the option to tie it up or tuck it behind your ears?" "This might require a bit more maintenance than your previous style, are you prepared?" However, when we nail it, a bold transformation can be perfect for you!

4.       We don’t really like perms

Perms represent the pinnacle of the most unpopular service in our industry right now. There are a few reasons why many of us aren't fond of them. Firstly, they're incredibly time-consuming for the results they give. They come with an unpleasant odour and stink out the whole salon, and they require significant post-treatment care. In saying this, we don’t mind a good perm every now and then, but it certainly isn’t our favourite thing!

5.       We can’t hear you when the blow-dryer is on  

 We all love a good chat and the convo is flowing by the time we get to drying and styling your hair… But let’s be honest, when our blow dryer is turned on, we can’t hear a bloody word you’re saying! We'll always maintain our politeness and nod along, pretending to catch every word you're saying.

So that is our top 5 confessions as Hairstylists. Hope you enjoyed the read! See you sometime soon x
