"You will need a new hair cut to do that hair mousse justice" WTF!

[Quinteszilla]

So, I went in to a local salon to just buy a hair mousse. Assistant came to my assistance, selected a mousse from the shelves, proceeded to ask the advice of the top stylist, who fiddled my hair and told me I needed to have a different haircut if I wanted to do that hair mousse justice! Eh??

He then rambled on about how to make my hair big volume by bending forward and drying it, and how my current layers would not make my hair big if I did that. I was like and

How did he know I secretly wanted big diva hair!?
I am a woman in my 40s, I have sleek blonde hair in a nice shoulder length. I love my hairdresser, she "gets" my hair. This young over-styled young man hasn't got a clue!

He's going the wrong way to get you to book an appointment. Massive fail for him.

And how on earth do you do mousse justice? Surely the mousse should do your hair justice

Haha, that's hilarious - he's trying to do the hairdresser "thing" where they criticise how awful your hair and thank goodness you've come to them. Looks like they've failed massively this time!

I know, it was like he was saying "lady with that hair why bother with mousse. It is wasted on you. ". I won't go to that salon again. I could see the assistant cringe!

Could he have meant that the mousse aimed at a different hair type/style/length/whatever to yours?

Otherwise, I would find somewhere more friendly to go in future as well.

Sorry Quint but that's really made me laugh. The next time someone says my hair looks nice I'm going to say 'oh thank God I'm doing my spray wax justice.'

What. A. Twonk.

'oh thank God I'm doing my spray wax justice.'

My short hair wouldn't make the mousse specifications...

UPdate:

I used my new mousse this morning! I bet you are all keen to find out if my hair did it justice.

My lovely shiny blond shoulderlenght hair, is now tied back in a "whiches broomstick pony tail" - There is more straw than there is volume!

So, it was not a question of my hair doing my mousse justice, but the other way around. I wonder, if the result would have been different had I let him cut my hair.... At least now, I can just go and buy a new mousse, or wear my hair "naked".

Idiot hairdresser.
