Would you be offended if a hairdresser said this?

You have a lot of dandruff.

I was mortified. It’s not something I’ve ever noticed or had said to me by people I know or other hairdressers.

Even if it’s true did it really need commenting on?

I studied medicine, my best friend studied hairdressing - I saw what she was taught as anatomy and physiology and it was laughable, not one of her teachers was trained in science or had a clue what they where on about.

Im not being superiour either my friend has amazing hair dressing skill (best hairdresser I have ever met) and I can barely run a comb through my hair (I rock the dragged through a hedge backwards look quite well lol) but we definately have DIFFERENT skills and knowledge and as much as I adore my friend she can advise you no more on dermatology issues than I could advise you on the development time of peroxide on combination hair types.

Was that supposed to be a joke? It wasn't very funny.

@mam0918 Christ on a bike I never said they've been educated to dermatologist level did I! They have some level of training and some are more knowledgeable than others. As a healthcare practitioner myself I don't like to make sneering judgements of how 'laughable' someone else's level of education is though.

@NeverDropYourMooncup Oh, sorry, when I had my eyebrows done it was in a salon with a private room for each customer, was having bikini as well though, so maybe that's why they used a private room. I stand corrected! I really feel for you, I wish there was some less painful treatment.

I’m with you op. I hate it when folks do their jobs, it’s like the bloke at the car valet sayinf your car is dirty or your dermatologist sayinf you’ve acne

fuckers shouldn’t comment.😂

Hilarious comment …

But yes I think it would be weird if a dermatologist said “you’ve got a lot of acne”

And offered no solutions or further insight. That’s not doing their job to me.

Hadn't you noticed? Did you ask him what he recommended?

Op look the point being made is if anyone is to tell you you’ve a signficant dandruff problem then it should be your hairdresser. Either ask then for a dandruff shampoo or get youtself some head and shoulders.

Third sentence of OP - It’s not something I’ve ever noticed. She was unaware and now thanks to the hairdresser she knows, and can consult her GP!

Definitely not. My hairdresser commented on mine and offered me advice. Similarly if I went to buy foundation and the person told me I've got dry skin and offered a suitable product it wouldn't bother me in the slightest.

...although when I took my PFB to the doctor (for something else) I was very offended when he told me she had eczema. 'How dare he!', I thought. 😂 💭'she's got perfect skin'

They found I had nits at the hairdressers twice when I was a kid. Now that's embarrassing, not a bit of dandruff.

I have never understood why some people seem to find dandruff an embarrassing condition. I can understand that it’s unpleasant or annoying for the suffer but some problem have a dry scalp, what’s so embarrassing about that?

If you go to the dentist they'd call you out on having a lot of plaque.
Why wouldnt a hairdresser comment on your dandruff.
You feel ashamed perhaps ...(?) but no need to be offended. Nor need to be ashamed haha . Get a different shampoo and be free

Be free of dandruff and hairdressers commenting on it. Be free op. Be freee

I've had this a lot of times so understand how you feel.
The worst time was when one of them said 'It's really bad'. Just made me feel dirty and embarrassed.
