Hairdresser is blow drying my hair straight using big rolling brush (sorry im not hairbrush savvy, it was a huge fat round bristle brush)

Chatting away, as you do, whilst looking at eachother in the mirror.
Hairdresser puts hair dryer down for a moment whilst talking to me and then glances at herself in mirror and brushes her hair with the brush.
Then carries on doing me

eh?

not on imo, she's attending to you at that moment in time and she shouldn't be using the hairbrush on two different people before sterilising it. did you say anything?

Wouldn't bother me particularly, but does seem a bit odd at the same time. I mean, their brushes must be used by loads of different people, but get cleaned between customers... hmmmm.

Nah, I was surprised but not incensed . Didnt think it was the norm though.

I'd have raised my eyebrows so far off my head they'd have shot off!!! Shock

Wouldn't happen in the salon I go to!

BooyHoo · 06/05/2011 16:02

odyysseus- behave!! Grin

Pinkjenny · 06/05/2011 16:03

I would definitely find that strange. Funny though.

Odysseus · 06/05/2011 16:03

Sorry. It's been one of those days!

slowshow · 06/05/2011 16:05

But hairdressers don't wash their brushes inbetween clients, do they? Can't really see the difference between giving her own hair a quite brush, and using the same brush on her previous client.

ConstanceFelicity · 06/05/2011 16:05

That's nothing. My GP stroked my back the other day... [hmmm]

RJRabbit · 06/05/2011 16:06

Sounds like something she did without thinking/realising. Even so, how vain!

MrsDaffodill · 06/05/2011 16:07

My hairdressers put brushes in a steriliser thingy between clients. Surely you could spread nits, etc, otherwise?

BooyHoo · 06/05/2011 16:09

in my salon the brushes are stored in a UV cabinet between customers.

BooyHoo · 06/05/2011 16:09

sorry, not my salon. the salon i go to for a haircut.

valiumredhead · 06/05/2011 16:10

It's not the using the same brush as even in the incredibly expensive 5 star rated salon I go to they don't sterilise the brushes in between clients, it's the fact you pay to be pampered and therefore............. Oh ffs, I dunno, it's just wrong! Grin

Niecie · 06/05/2011 16:13

I wouldn't have been bothered so much about the sharing of the brush more that she was obviously more focussed on her hair than mine!

qo · 06/05/2011 16:13

I agree with whoever said it sounds lke it was something she did without thinking or realising, in fact it sounds like something I might do myself Blush

Once when a GP was doing a home visit to my son, while she was on the phone to childrens ward, she absent mindedly opened the drawer on my coffee table looked in and shut it again, wouldn't mind but it's absolutely full of crap!!!

catsareevil · 06/05/2011 16:15

I think it is odd. Sounds like she was distracted and did it without thinking?

TheOriginalFAB · 06/05/2011 16:21

My hairdresser option uses a new brush on me.

It is a bit rude of her and if she did it again I would have words.

I was hit on the head with a hair drier and had my hair pulled hard, several times, by the same person so I mentioned it to the receptionist. I was aware she was a trainee but even so... apparently she was at the end of her training. She doesn't seem to be there any more.

TheOriginalFAB · 06/05/2011 16:22

often not option.

sloggies · 06/05/2011 16:33

How v strange, and not on....
TheoriginalFAB I used to go to a trainee until she burnt my ear a couple of times with the hair straightners - think she may have had a hangover!

ashamedandconfused · 06/05/2011 16:39

you should have started scratching your head and saying you were worried you might have caught nits from (own DC, friends DC/nephew etc) and would she please tell you if she spotted any

cheeky moo!

pingu2209 · 06/05/2011 17:03

OOOOOO Nasty.

jasminetom · 06/05/2011 18:42

I have had the worst waxing experience from hell this week, she actually told me that her fanny hair was much smoother than mine and then proceeded to describe her superior anatomy in detail. I sympathise, pampering should be about the client not the hairdresser/weird perverted waxer.
