Hello everyone. I just wanted to let you all
know that today was my last day at the shop. I
have decided, for now, to leave the industry to
take a different job. I am going to miss all of
you so much. I know this is last minute but this
happened a bit quicker than I thought. I hope
to stay in contact with each of you! I feel like a
part of me is definitely missing but know each
of you are so important and special to me!

Howdy everybody!

*****The truth about what it means to be a hairdresser****(A bit long BUT TRUE)

We use scissors that are sharper than a chef’s knife or a surgeon’s scalpel just millimetres from our fingers and we move our tools quicker than your eyes can follow. Most days we cut ourselves as we work, against the clock, forgetting about ourselves because we are concentrating on your hair.

We use both science and maths, combined with an artist’s eye for beauty and detail, to figure out the exact angle to cut a client’s hair so that it falls correctly time and again when our client leaves the salon and has to manage it themselves.

We often put our bodies in the most straining positions to make sure we can see each strand of a client’s hair. Our work means we are standing and bending for over 12 hours straight (try it sometime) but such attention ensures our clients have perfect hair.

And what about the tools of our trade? Most people don’t realize how much scissors cost – we pay anywhere between $200-$2,000 of our own money, just to make sure our client’s hair isn’t damaged by blunt blades.

We use a detailed knowledge of chemistry to create a special color formula to work with our client’s hair. This is one that won’t work with someone else’s hair as genetics play a huge part in the reaction to chemicals and we have the courage to do what we believe is right for our client.

We have to work with time that is always against us as two minutes too late will blow the cuticle in our client’s hair and underdevelopment means a disaster.

Like an artist, we strategically place color to blur lines and create a subtle blend by ourselves in three hours, that looks uncannily like a photo our client brought in from the internet and in all likelihood was created in a six-hour session by four stylists and then retouched. It might even be a wig.

We spend 50% of our working day using tools as hot as an oven, one touch and our fingertips are burned. There’s no need to moan because we are used to it – it’s just part of the job.

Every day, we breathe in fumes from hair products and get hair splinters all the time in our feet, hands and even b***s! To get the effect, try sticking a pin in your foot and stand on it for a while.

We always have to look our best whether we feel it or not and right up until the last client who gets exactly the same care and attention as the other 10 clients you have seen that day.

We are there for our clients through their most important life moments. Whether that’s a wedding, best friend’s birthday or even to make sure they feel ready to face the world for their wife/husband’s funeral.

We get shouted at by clients if we are running behind, when most of the time it’s because another client before them turned up late or isn’t honest about their color history, which makes a two-hour appointment into a huge color correction marathon.

We work even when we are ill and just want to be in bed, because we don’t want to let anyone down with appointments.

We work weekends, late nights, and basically have a time-restricted social life so that our clients can look their best and we can earn a living.

We talk all day and make extremely close connections with our clients, but this means by the time we get home we have spent all of our social energy and don’t want to talk to our friends or family.

We don’t get the usual “holiday days” because people need us in order to feel beautiful. We don’t work 9-5 – we work from the first client to last client with no real promise of what time exactly we will finish and if we will make it home for dinner.

We are often heard saying that we haven’t eaten lunch over the past three days because we’ve had no time between clients due to over-runs. On our days off, many of us spend hours researching new techniques and finding educational classes to attend.

A hairdresser’s life revolves around hair. Our brains constantly switch from math to science and from social to psychology and back to our clients. We work hard physically, emotionally and mentally – every day with few breaks and definitely no silence.
