Oh MY!!! Sometimes I really wonder if most of those stylist truly want to see other women with any hair at all.
Have any of you noticed how mean spirited most hair stylist can be?
I had a friend with waist length hair who went to get a touch up. This bitter stylist deliberately left the perm in my friend's hair way way tooooo long. Before starting my friend especially asked for a mild relaxer to be left for about 10 minutes. The stylist became angry and told her that she was licended and knew her job well. She applied the relaxer and left to care of other clients 30 plus minutes my friend was begging her to please remove the relaxer. The stylist kept responding angrily, telling her that she will get to her in time. Well in time meant that my poor friend lost tons of her hair and was left with horrible sores in her scalp. Most of her hair had to be cut off.
This is one of many reasons that pushed me to go natural.

You know something? I think that beautician is very arrogant to your friend, burning her scalp with the perm, and not listening to her request to remove it from her head. That to me is unprofessional and you can lose customers that way.
This is something I've learned when I was taking Cosmetology classes in mid 1986. When you are doing a client's chemical service, i.e. relaxing, coloring, he/she must sign a Consent Release Statement saying that the beautician was performing a chemical service on the client. Should anything happens to the person receiving the service, it will be put on record with the reason the problem occured. Also, I wish this should've been done at all beauty salons for safety purposes.
This should be taken very seriously if you want to continue doing people's hair, and eventually, avoid being sued. I just wish the beautician would've been more polite and do a better job with your freind's hair. I would've sued her if she did something wrong to my hair. I would rather go natural than let someone else mess with the other person's hair.
Like they always say: If you screwed it, you'd better fix it.
End of story.
