Do You Find It Helpful When...

That is just the way some stylist build clientele. Most aren't trying to say your hair looks bad, they are just saying come and try their services.

I don't get offend by it because I have done it and meant nothing by it when I do it. I had them out to any and everybody if possible.

It would be different if they were only handing them out to people that had tore up heads of hair. That's a different story.

I agree like I said before but there is a professional way to approach someone and a rude way. For a hair salon everyone should be a candidate even if there hair looks great I would think.

That is EXACTLY my point. I was in WAL-MART of all places. I wasn't the only person with HAIR in Wal-Mart, let alone the only black person/woman! The CHECKOUT lady was a black woman with hair. But did she give her a flyer?? IMO it makes your business look bad when you APPEAR to be singling out canididates.

Nah, I don't get offended. I take it like the many women that walk up to me and offer their Mary Kay cards.

I wear my make-up nicely (when I do) so I think they look at me and say "Oh , she's into make-up, maybe I can get her to buy some MK!"

Same with the hair stylists , they look and see that you take care of your hair so they want you to spend your money with them.

I don't get that often for my hair, but I do for my son's; he likes to let his hair grow out until it looks almost unkempt. As long as he keeps it clean, combed, and moisturized, I really don't care. However, every time his hair gets long, I always get a business card from a barber. I nod and smile...then find the nearest trash can. If I needed help, I'd seek it.
