Honestly, I like my hairdresser he is good but pricey (£49 for a cut and blow dry - this is a local joint) its in an area were the clientelle for want of a better word, are waggish. I mean real high maintenence women who go there once a week just to check out what everyones wearing.

The receptionist is like the mother of one of them. Mutton basically. Great figure but loves herself. I dont fit in but like the hairdresser.

Every time I go something bloody happens!! today for instance, I told her that my friend had used an introduction card I had given her therfore I should get ten pound off. She wanted my friends name, when she had visited, who she had seen, what her phone number was! it was surely just on the computer. To top it all after she agreed so then put my card in and told me and the whole salon that it had been rejected!! I was mortified. I couldnt get out of there quick enough. I forgot to tip my boy. No doubt she had something to say about that behind my back!!

rant over!!!

Mine's great. Will even give you an umbrella if it has started raining.

Oh, and when I went to the cash machine, my wages were still in it so there was no way it couldve been rejected!!

I think they have a problem giving discounts, its not the first time shes done it.

i think you are probably imagining it. she is just doing her job and you feel insecure because you perceive she is more glamorous than you. work on your self esteem

I seriously doubt she pretended it was rejected, tbh.

kittya · 28/08/2010 20:08

she never pretended just didnt pin it in right and what she shouldve done was just say shall I do it again? instead of saying it had been rejected.

I dont perceive her to be more glamorous then me, good god!!! Not my style at all. I have problems with my self-esteem thanks anyway!!

she never asked to take my jacket, little things like that. And yet when her facelifted mates come in shes all over them with kisses and glasses of champagne.

Its putting me off going back tbh.

why do you care then. you should have told her that you had entered your pin incorrectly. she isn't a mind reader

kittya · 28/08/2010 20:16

please read my post. she had entered it wrong when she took it off me and the professional thing to do is to ask if she could try again, not just ask me for another card!!!

I dont care, all Im saying is that she has a funny attitude and asking people on here if they have encountered the same thing.

I have a lovely hair dresser's receptionist but she did my card payment for me the other day and did something wrong (too busy talking) and the card was then rejected. I was totally embarrassed and to add to it all the bank thought there was a problem and froze the card. I then couldn't use the card again until I'd phoned the bank and explained the problem and they unfroze it. What a bloody palaver! However she is normmally nice, just daft.
If this woman is making you feel uncomfortable I would try to find somewhere else - these people are providing a service and should be polite at all times!!

Is it just her who is snotty? Your hairdresser sounds nice. I'd be inclined to mention something to him next time you visit. I've never understood establishments who employ receptionists like this. After all they are representing the salon. If she has put you off - how many others have been put off in the same way.

kittya · 29/08/2010 15:45

Thank you careful, that is exactly what happened and she shouldnt have just said loudly, your card has been declined.

I have made an appointment with my man for next week, I do like him.

Funny thing is though, Ive just noticed his price list and people who work for my organisation get 25% off. Hes known me for ages and where I work. Never one mentioned it!!

they dont like to give discounts do they?
