Whose name is just 2 letters and it's not initials like TJ, AJ, or KC. Lol :p
I was in desperate need of a hair coloring and went down to the hair salon at the mall near my home.
I was assigned this rather young skinny chap who asked what u wanted done and proceeded to inform me of their rates for a haircut etc.
He was ok I thought not chatty which how I like them to be cos small talk just kills me. It was a long and laborious process coloring my hair. I wanted to die. And after it was almost finished, my hair stylist felt compelled to tell me that I had "horrendously thick hair" - so much for customer service eh. This is one of the main reasons why I dislike going to hair salons here. Zero tact. I've been hearing that all my life btw. That my hair is very thick and while it used to bother me when I was a teenager, now I figure with me being a ripe old age of 36.5 - hell, I ought to be grateful I still have such thick hair!
Anyway, I didn't bother to tick him off. My friend says I should've gone to a more expensive hair salon. Do you think it would've mattered? I seriously doubt it cos I've tried a range of hair salons in terms of pricing and I just think hair stylists HERE have no customer service skills. At least when I patronize a cheap hair salon and the aunty tells me my hair is thick etc, you sorta understand cos well, she's an Aunty - they are usually tactless to begin with. Lol.
By the way, my recent visit to the hair salon cost me $350. That's not cheap anyway.
And my hair stylist's name? Xe. Yes, I kid u not. He informed me that he has Wednesdays off. Guess what day I'm going down to the hair salon next when I have to touch up my hair coloring? Lol :p

I also hate it when stylists try to small talk with me. That's why I like my stylist - he just does the work. And he doesn't really pass comments about my hair too.
This reminds me, I need to go pay him a visit soon. My hair is getting looongg.. :P
elaine
xe? he's not a local?
yup..most service folk have zero tact. have had aunties telling me that i have a big butt (i like my butt) and baby belly :(
Elaine,
ya man. Hate it when they try to chat with u.
Goody,
sigh. Should've said "skinny Chinese chap" ... dunno lar, what's with the trying to be stylo. He wrote down his "name" on the hair salon name card - "Xe"
bizarre right?
And your butt ain't big.Ppl are so rude.
New stylists say my hair is "very think, got kinky waves underneath, hard to cut, strange texture".....as if i don't know right.....so I always act really surprised and say "really? no one has ever said that to me before....are you sure?" Then I proceed to look at them like they are an alien from out of space.
