To think this experience was strange ( hairdressers)

[relations01]

I went to a new hairdressers recently . Reasonably priced £31 cut and blow dry with a stylist. The stylist washed my hair once which I thought was odd ( usually always has been washed twice ). She dried my hair before cutting it . I have never had anyone do this before . Also last thing when she did cut it I could hear it very clearly each separate chop!

Is this strange ?

I always get a ‘dry cut’ because I don’t want my hair washed but they usually spray it with a bit of water so that is weird. I actually haven’t been able to go to the hairdresser since before the pandemic because although they’re open now, none of the ones locally seem to be offering a dry cut.
I don’t think being able to hear the scissors is weird though.

I’ve never heard of hairdressers shampooing twice but then again I don’t like mine washed there I like it cut dry otherwise it ends up shorter than I want it

Ex hairdresser from a loooong time a go, we were trained to cut curly hair dry, wet hair wet as it is impossible to get curly hair right when wet.
Always washed hair twice, 1st to get rid of products second to clean hair, all do it 2x around here, seems to me possibly trying to cut back a bit possibly because of paying out for PPE

Doesn’t sound odd.

Every hairdresser I’ve ever been to has always shampood twice. Don’t most regular shampoo bottles still say rinse and repeat on the bottle?

Never had it cut dry though, I’m not quite sure I’d trust that but hey ho, hopefully it works ok!

How could it not work? Scissors don’t need water as lubrication

Well, erm, I don’t know... my hair would be too soft and flyaway to be trustworthy dry. The water keeps it nice and tame.

My mum was a hairdresser and always used to cut my hair dry, so I could see how it was looking. Maybe there's a return to this?

Who needs two shampoos unless you a are total minger?
Or had colour?

I can imagine the sound of scissors cutting dry, coarse hair could be like nails on a chalkboard to some.

My hair needs two shampoos if I leave it longer than 3 days between washes. But I wouldn’t go to hairdresser with 4 day hair.

Hair dresser washes my hair following colour then wet cuts hair. She finishes dry to make sure the layers are correct, length ok etc.
