I got my hair done this morning. A wash and cut and I love it.
My mother liked it and she expressed an interest in going to my hairdresser. She expressed an interest before. I usually lie to her tell her he's booked out for weeks or he's not taking any new clients. It's just he is on the expensive end I think. I appreciate his work. I know my mother would resent his charges and she will likely rest his work and charges and she will likely trash talk him behind his back and behave all entitled.
It's just, I would be embarrassed if she was to behave badly and if I recommended him to her and I am associated with that. That's not to say that maybe someone could genuinely have an issue with a hair service and would like it rectified. It's just j know from the start, my mother will likely go in wanting to find fault with something.
So, my hair dresser is mine and I don't want to share him with her. Am I bad for lieing.
I feel bad for gatekeeping him because he will likely make her feel like a million bucks too and it would be nice for her but I know her too much too, she won't appreciate his work will likely go into him wanting to find fault and resenting his charges. So I am afraid she will have to find her own hairdresser.
