Hair Salon Experiences

Why is it so hard to find and maintain a professional beautician? I
have had my share of better and worse experiences.

On the better than worse side....The salon I currently frequent has an
excellent stylist. She's big on hair care and quality. My only issue
is.... when life hapens, it happens to my stylist. She has to cancel
or reschedule appointments often due to personal and family related
challenges. Additionally, her daughters are shampoo girls. Most
times they do a good job, but occassionally I think they get too
comfortable with the fact that its 'moms' business. For that reason
they should always bring their A game.

This morning, the stylist told me that her daughters wanted raises!
And on this particular day they aren't doing anything worthy of a
tip....and theywant raises. She's trying to teach them values. Tell
them they can't sleep on the job. But they do at her shop because she
is mom. They will learn.

Neither daughter has asirations to be stylists. Once they get a job
from someone other than mom, they will learn what she's been trying to
teach them.
