I really don’t know if i wbu to say something in this situation or if it’s not worth it?
I’m currently sat in the hairdressers. Booked myself in today for the first time in forever - I’ve had two babies in less than two years and never have time so thought I’d treat myself. Due to never getting it done my hair is incredibly long and thick and I’ve been enjoying all the compliments I’m getting on it so definitely want to keep the length. Spoke to the colourist to discuss colour (she commented it’s in great condition) and she then passed me on to the hairdresser.
Here is my problem. He asked what I wanted and I said plenty off the layers and showed him a picture of how I want the front but I said please take as little off he length as possible. He gestured to how much he wanted to cut (a good 5 inched) and I laughed wondering if it was a joke and said oh no that’s a lot isn’t it? Just an inch would be the most I’m prepared to go. At that point he got so huffy with me! He said well do you know what why don’t I just not take anything off? Because there’s no point just taking an inch. It won’t look good. I said again (politely) I really wasn’t prepared to get more than an inch off the length and he just said well ok then I will just leave it she (gestured toward the cringing colourist) is looking after you now.
I’m so disappointed!! They’re sorting me out another hairdresser now (hopefully) but he made me feel like I was being told off for being naughty....I’m not assertive at the best of times so I’m glad I held my ground and said no to him taking more than an inch off.
My question is wibu to make a complaint of some sort? Or is there more than likely no point? Not sure what they can do about it or if they will. If it makes any difference it’s a well known chain. My hair is really not in bad condition it’s just not perfect and maybe a little dry at the ends. Regardless of this I didn’t actually ask for his opinion on what I should get done so I don’t think it was neccessary for him to make such a scene.
