OMG! (semi-long rant)
My friend that usually cornrows my hair is out of town on vacation, so I decided to look up local hairdressers that can do cornrows for under $35.00.
I found a very sweet lady that works in a salon, and she stated that if I came with my hair washed and blowdried, she would only charge $25.00 to do them for me. Her stylist profile said that she specializes in healthy hair.
I was ecstatic.
Soooo, I called and scheduled an appointment Yesterday.
Today I went to my appointment, and she let me know that it would only take 20 minutes or so to do my request (10 straight back cornrows for under my wig).
I sat down in my chair, and then to my dismay, she pulls out a paddle brush..A paddle brush full of shed/broken hair and/or weave and she thinks she is about to use that on my hair..
ME: *Pause*.. Do you have anything else you can use on my hair.. because I generally do not use brushes.
HER: Pulls out a fine tooth rat tail black comb (that one would use to do a roller set)..
ME: Do you have a comb with wider teeth?
HER (with an attitude): No, but you can go the next street over to the beauty supply store and buy a comb that you think is more suitable for your needs.
ME: Blank Stare.. Okay, sure I'll be right back..
I then proceeded to head on over to Chick Fil-A for lunch, ran a few errands and then went back to my house to rest before my plans at 8pm.
How does a STYLIST at a SALON that *claims* she specializes in healthy hair practices only have one raggedy arse rat tail comb + a dusty dirty arse paddle brush & expect to keep clients that are serious about their hair.
***, no thanks lady.
