I Want It Now

Clients need to learn the difference between what they want their hair to look like and what is best for their hair. If you have no concern for the condition of your hair do all the chemical services you want. That is not a criticism it's a fact. If you constantly change the color from light to dark their will be consequences for your hair. It's OK but don't complain about fly aways, dryness or, at its worst, breakage.
I am putting this up because I have a client now that insists on going lighter and lighter in her color. Her hair looks good when blown out but when it is left to dry naturally it looks a mess.
I am always torn between giving people what they ask for and guiding them towards what is best.
I find women around my age, 37, and older want healthy hair. The younger women will do whatever to look like what they see in their head even at the expense of the health of their hair and scalp.
I only put this up to remind people that choices made in the hair salon have long term consequences. Make sure you have a stylist, like me, who will tell you the truth even if you don't like it.
That's a good stylist.
