Pro-Tip: If your boyfriend/Girlfriend/Partner always tells you your hair is boring and wants you to change it, go ahead, make the change of getting a new, more exciting partner. Nobody needs that kind of rude-ass manipulation in their lives.
Yep, totally. And I‘m sure he is making her situation now even more worse, so put him away… Such people aren‘t worth it. He can have his own opinion, but to tell it someone and to want someone changing for his own taste is awful. Poor girl… This mess just for a jerk, I really feel sorry for her.
It’s one thing to see people ruin their own hair, but it’s SCANDALOUS when a hairdresser does it. This is awful. She trusted someone she SHOULD be able to trust.
THANK YOU for saying that if a client only wants a tiny bit taken off, you must not take off more without their consent, even if you personally think it would be better! After all, it's their hair and they have to live and be happy with it. There is nothing worse than a hairdresser who breaks their client's trust by chopping off more than was agreed on!
My ex SIL did that to me. She would come over and cut everyone's hair (she was licensed). I didn't even want a cut, but said what the heck, I'll get a trim. She decided I needed 4 inches off. I was furious.
Exactly! Years ago i went in for a trim of my waist lenght hair And the first cut I felt was metal against my neck And immediately felt the cut. I am still furious about it. To this day i refer to him as Edward Scissor Hands
But if you go to a professional and ignore the advice, don't be surprised I'd things go wrong, if you went to a doctor and he said you need surgery, don't be surprised if physiotherapy doesn't work
@@karencooper3428 a bit overdramatic response. Your own personal clothing, makeup and hairstyle choices dont compare to having surgery 😂😂😂 I am a little shocked at myself for responding to this message.....but I continue...Also, all of our above messages where not about not taking advice...we were never given the option. Edward scissorhands made the decision for me.
Kinda insecure, aren't you? Sometimes partners want to change their other half for better. Probably never heard of boyfriend/girlfriend effect😂😂😂 My fiancé supported and gave me a lot of confidence to grow my hair. I always dreamed of long hair and I finally grew them. I get lots of compliments because they are well maintained and healthy. That makes me feel so much better 😊
@@wero1799 okay but the comment wasnt about you and your fiance. There's a clear difference between being supportive/encouraging, and telling her she's boring so she should change herself to suit his tastes. You clearly missed the point and made it all about you and your situation. 🙄
I am the queen of telling stylist to stop or leaving if it’s not not going well. I refuse to let someone mess up my hair. People need to not be scared to tell the stylist to stop!! It’s YOUR hair and your money. Period!
I'm trying to teach myself to be more assertive. Even when my food is wrong, I could be allergic and I wouldn't say anything. I also have lots of tattoos and a few i hate but never had the balls to say anything 😭
yuh, and I wonder how the boyfriend who pressured her to change her hair feels about the result. I really hope she goes to someone else, does a color correction and a big chop but this is not her fault as she tried to vet her stylist. the only thing she could have done better is to speak up more quickly, but I don't know that it would have changed the overall outcome
That’s when she should have told him to stop. That was the first sign of disaster coming, yet she didn’t say a word. She was crying and he did nothing but add to it by chopping more.
As someone who is SUPER close to graduating from cosmetology school (3 months), I'm just SO glad that I've been close attention in class and even MORE happy that I've found your channel while I'm still in school. I was noticing all the problems you were pointing out right away, and that just confirms to me that I've really been retaining the information I've been getting from school, and from YOU! Thank you for everything you do, you're an AMAZING teacher! 👏❤👏❤👏
Good luck in your future as a stylist!! Its loads of fun when you get to do colours 💜💙💚 on people. My moms a stylist,(80 years old and still doing a few clients a week); my niece is training.
As a hairstylist I can tell you HairBuddha is hands down the best!!! *And* he gives the BEST advise and the info and his judgement is always 100% accurate!!!! Don't listen to these "hairstylist" that have graduated from you tube university they don't know crap!!!
@@ella_cinder4361 Your mom is amazing to still be a hair artist at 80! Wow. Maybe you can make a video of her and share. I think she'd inspire so many others
Honestly, she sounds like she has the wrong boyfriend not hair. Her natural hair was beautiful, just needed some layers and styling, with some natural balayage highlights. The stylist did a crappy job, like a beginning hair student, not even.
Yeah I've had my hair styled by students and they did AN AMAZING JOB. The bleach was a little patchy but they managed to cut my hair EXACTLY like how I drew out my design. So this guy just sucks.
Watching these trips to the salon makes me want to hug my wonderful expert hair dresser. I do hug her often but this really makes me want to make a trip just to hug her.
I asked a hairdresser once to just take off the dead ends and freshen up the layers. We both agreed that I needed to take off 2 inches and I was fine with that. When she was getting started she said that I needed to stand up during the haircut because my hair was too long she said. My hair had been longer than it was at that time and I never needed to stay standing for a haircut before. I thought it was strange, but went ahead since I really needed a cut. She wound up cutting over 6 inches and I was upset. She was nonchalant about it and said it'll grow back. Didn't offer a discount or anything for not giving me what I wanted. It wasn't a bad cut, but 6 inches of hair is a lot to lose when you're trying to get your hair even longer.
I asked for 3 inches off and when I left, she had taken 11 inches off. She acted like nothing was wrong. I cried for weeks. It ended up being so choppy, I had to go get it redone by someone else who said the only way to truly fix it was to take off a few more inches. Had hair down to my hips, ended with it up at my collar bone.
@@jerseytomato100 “Can you please take off your glasses?” BAM! I’m blind, literally blind. Can’t see the E on the top of the eyechart; can’t even tell what wall the eyechart could be pinned to. 🤷🏻♀️
This is exactly why I have trust issues with getting my hair cut. Last time I went I said to cut 3-4 cm or inch and a half. Went from long hair to above sholeders in a matter of seconds. Woman just grabbed half my hair and cut 20 cm off (8 inches). I was in shock and all I could see was my mom in the mirror, her eyes almost poping off her eyesockets and more than half my hair in the womans hands. She had the nerve to ask if that was enough, while I told her 3 times that I only want to cut an inch or two. Might as well f up my hair for free by myself instead to pay someone to do it.
I am mean. I cut a strip of paper to the length I will allow to be cut off. I also take my ruler. I show it to the stylist and say "This is the maximum I want cut off." When they make their first cut, I ask to see what was cut off. I apologetically say I got a bad cut once where they cut so much off now I'm scared. They all comply.
This is a big fear of mine with new stylists, and I will take note when I have a consult of how well they seem to listen and how pushy they seem to be. I definitely like to know what they think I should have trimmed off, but I also expect for them to respect whatever my final wish is for how much to cut.
Me toooo I still have trauma around it. My waist length hair was magically at my shoulders.. I still torment myself wanting to destroy their business like they destroy peoples hair.
Right though? That's straight up rude af. He could've shut up, or found a nicer way to communicate that HE was bored with her hair. Her hair wasn't boring. He was bored with it. BIG DIFFERENCE.
I was so tired of bad hair cuts and coloring that I had to learn how to do it myself, and since then my hair is healthy and growing like never before. You don’t only need to like what you do, you need to love it and that love and passion will show in your clients hair🌺
You knew it was headed into the danger zone when you didn't see sectioning before cutting... I am honestly very grateful the cut turned out the way it did because anything could have happened with just taking hair from wherever 😱 the color is totally fixable though, so the outcome is challenging but not a total disaster. ❤️ I was scared there for a moment 😆
I love your explanations of why certain colour changes are not possible and why it is not possible to achieve the colour in a photo. Non-hairdressers like me really need this stuff explaining so we get it. Otherwise you think the hairdresser is just being difficult.
I didn’t really hate the first color, but the ‘fixed’ color, oh my god. Hideous. And that cut! When she turned around and showed the back - that was just bad. I’ve had a few bad experiences at the salon, but that was one of the worst weed-cutter haircuts I’ve ever seen.
My long time stylist/friend is always completely honest with me about my expectations whenever I decide to go for a new color variation. Sometimes it’s a process to achieve the final result, but she always explains it to me. She’s an amazing stylist, and I’ve always been super happy with my hair, but it’s so true that much of it is because she has always communicated to me about the processes we will need to go through to achieve a final result.
Consult, consult and consult again! Before you touch a hair on anyones head. And full history of hair processes with timeline (a colour doesn't grow out in 2 months!) To all clients... demand this level of service. You deserve it. X
I feel this is how most salons in the U.S. are. I go in with chest length hair, ask for a trim, end up with chin length hair. I go in wanting a dark ash brown with highlights. I leave with dark brown and two orange streaks in the front.
I think it’s the training I’m a hairdresser in Australia and we do a 4 year apprenticeship From what I understand online a cosmetology licence in the US that covers hair, nails, beauty and makeup takes 12 months ! How can anyone perfect their craft in 12 months ?
Here in our state of Utah, I believe it's 2,000 hour of training/practice then take a test to get your certificate? Still not enough, as I cut my own hair after many disappointing experiences.
@@amandarobbins2530 you are correct, not nearly enough and not fair to us. Luckily I was living in the city and had the opportunity of attending continuing education classes.
This is why I stopped going to salons. They never give me the cut I want, even with a bunch of pictures and I’m always disappointed. I am not very picky and the cuts I ask for are basic, like a blunt bob or something, when I ask to thin out the bottom they always cut layers even though I say NO layers. I just want it thinned out. I just do it myself, if I mess it up at least it’s free.
It makes me so sad to see people end up with stylists like this who can't seem to communicate effectively. My aunt is a stylist and salon owner and has done my hair my whole life. She still talks me through everything, every time, just to be sure we're on the same page. If I tell her to cut however much needs to be cut for my hair to be healthy, she physically shows me how much that will be. If we're coloring my hair, she asks if I want to change anything and shows me what it's likely to look like. I just don't understand the total lack of communication on this stylist's part😬
Omg! You are in the barber room! I have always been curious about where you were and it's finally been revealed. I liked this upload. Having so much of the good stuff right at the start isn't as entertaining as reacting to it at the same time as you.
You know it's bad when someone who knows nothing about cutting hair (me) is watching and goes "he didn't even brush through that big chunk of- oh no why is he cutting that?!" :'D Also I've never seen those hair color "swatches" before and they look so cool!
Phew, this cut 😱😱😱 This is where actually curly haired people have an advantage (like myself), so that worst case scenario you do not see how choppy it is thanks to the curls 😅
Having experienced hackers on my long but fine hair, I finally learnt to say "Stop!" Your common sense tells you that that dude shouldn't even be allowed to cut a hedge with his lucky packet qualifications. Yikes.
What a hair dresser considers short and what a girl who keeps hair long enough to reach her lower back considers short hair. For years my sister considered hair that reached her bra strap on her back (so middle of her back) to be a short hair cut. I considered hair cut just above my shoulders to be short and a hair dresser told me that was considered medium length. This really helped me to know how to communicate to a hair dresser.
This is why, as the child of a hairdresser, I'm doing my research and doing MY OWN HAIR. I'd rather spend less, and only be upset with myself if I screw it up lol
It took me a while to realize that my idea of long and short are very different from my hairdresser's. lol. First I'd only let her take a centimeter, but after years of gaining my trust, she'll look at me and say, "Today it's time for the big sacrifice" and I sigh and say, "Do what you have to do". - and thanks to her, my hair looks great. ;)
Similar situation happened to me at an Aveda salon outside Washington D.C. I spent $340 and many tears. All I wanted was balayage with heavy highlights. My hair is a Neutral tone level 8/7.5 naturally so its very easy to work with! I somehow ended up with level 6 redfish roots and honey colored ends. Thankfully I spoke up and got it fixed! (Ashy Level 8 root, with level 10 soft baby lights throughout) Long story short though, I’ve been doing my own hair ever since. 🥴
Similar situation, a have alot of hair, wavy, virgin ash blond hair. I know what might be possible with my hair and what is not. I feel bad because I explain and I am very specific, something that I think I shouldn't need to explain, but do just in case. SO, I have learned to cut my own hair from videos and I have done a better job than professionals (I understand, maybe I need to go to higher end salons. Because I know there are amazing artists in the hair industry! Way better than what I do to my hair, but . . .)
Quite a long time ago now: Lots of fine medium-dark brown hair that had violet put over it (the color shone in the sun but was stealthy under crap office lighting.) I went to an expensive salon for a treatment to put it back to my natural color and some repair so I could grow it out from a bob. The owner did my hair, but I waited ages and ages. It was a dual appointment with a friend and we were sat at opposite ends of the salon, but then they made me wait until she was done before starting on me. There were no other customers, the other hairdresser was just hanging out. They opened a bottle of champagne everyone had a glass (while at work, begore cutting my hair?? I should have left, but I wanted to spend time with my friend.) It didn't turn out an unsalvageable mess, but between telling me that I absolutely should not adopt because I'll get [racist code words] child addicted to hard drugs and being absolutely certain they were gossiping about me (because they were gossiping about my friend when they got to me) I was not terribly happy with the service. For the cut: the layering was much more than I'd ever had despite saying I was growing it out and put it up for work. After a few days I realized that without a lot of product the shorter pieces were just permanent flyaways. A French braid was the only way to put it up for work without them escaping because of how short some of it was, with less than half my hair going past my shoulders anymore. Hair nets [ugh so hot and ugly] were what I had to deal with for a long time. But the worst part! For months after I got uncountable calls, texts, and emails harassing me to make my next appointment. Instead of doing that I called to cancel the one I had made that day and eventually blocked their number after they started up again a year later. 🙃 I've never had to block a small business before or since.
HB: Regarding hair color, just show/tell the client what YOUR color measurement stick is--those swatches and that helps. That way you and the client are on the same page! I completely get it. Makes sense!
OMG I'd be so upset if my stylist considered that much hair a trim! I'll never forget the story my friend's sister told me about her worst haircut. She had beautiful long healthy hair that she'd been growing out and it was maybe halfway down her back. She discussed the cut with the stylist and told her she wanted just a trim. She flicked her hair back with her hands just above her shoulders, the way you do when you have long hair to put it all behind your shoulders. The stylist decided that where her hands had touched her hair was where she wanted it cut, and chopped her waist length hair to chin length!! Stylist said she thought that she was motioning to where she wanted the hair to be cut. The girl got really upset but there was no saving it and she had to go short! I can't believe some stylists seem to not know what clients mean by "just a trim" and don't even ask before they take multiple inches off.
I love it when Hair Buddha breaks out the "Big Book Of Hair"!!! 📖 I always learn something. I definitely thought that color was brown but I've learned the truth! 🙂
I feel so bad for her. She didn't even wanted an haircut, she just did it for her idiotic boyfriend and she ends up looking like this. Edit: thank you for the little class on hair colors. I always thought I was light brown, but I'm a #8 blonde.
And this ladies and gentleman is why I haven't been to a salon in almost 20 years; I just don't trust them. Maybe I have some hairdresser logic in my dna but I've been cutting and colouring my own hair for a long time and only once have I ever needed to be rescued from a colour flop. (Black henna is not real henna) I even went platinum blonde once from dark blonde and it went totally fine but I read and followed the directions, maybe that's the difference.
Yep..I relate to that! Do you too have long hair by any chance? I haven't been to the hairdresser in about 6-7 yrs lol..I follow a Brad Mondo ' lockdown hair cutting guide's video..holy crap the trim ( 2 inches ) I took off my long hair I impressed myself.lol x
Thank you I have learned a LOT!!! I'm going in for a balayage next week but I now know that my hair is dark brown and not dark ash blonde. So now I'll talk with the hairdresser about different ideas. But I was going for something similar this girl went for and now I know not to do that because it won't come out that way. Also I learned how to scream: "SECTIONS!!!!" at the screen. Thank you so much Hair Buddha.
I am not a hairdresser but I am an painting artist and I can remix every paint tone just by seeing it and just with 3-5 basic colours. And as I saw the wanted picture my first thought was "girl your hair is too dark and red, if you want this tone they should bleach it first until red is gone" The most people don't see the included pigments they just see red but I can say if it is possible to get pink with this red or not. Because I see if there is yellow or not included.
Experiences like this are why I learned how to do hair. When my hair grew back after chemo, it was uneven and thin at the ends and really gross looking. For the first time in 20 years, I scheduled an appointment to get it cut because I did not have the strength to do it myself at that point. Covid shut everything down a few weeks before my appointment. I took that as my sign, don't go back. I had my husband cut it. He was so scared of messing up he ONLY did what I told him to. I had just gotten my hair back (I am 6 foot tall and had waist length hair pre-cancer, my hair was my baby) and he didn't want to cut too much off or mess it up. He did a fantastic job. That was 2020. Now, almost 2 years later, he's still the only person that has cut my hair since it came back. He is a nervous wreck every time, but he always does super great. I have bleached and dyed it a few times in the last year, but when it comes to cuts he takes care of that for me.. I have taken my kids a few times to get cuts, but always end up fixing it because one side is 2 inches longer than the other or the layers are very choppy in the worst way. My husband is military so I fade and cut his hair at least once a month. When I was on chemo, I couldn't cut their hair. In the 2 years I was on chemo, between the 3 of them (husband and 2 kids), there was 1 haircut that actually turned out good. Moral of the story. Put a lot of effort in to finding a hair dresser. My experience is there are more bad ones than good ones. And if you can't find a good one, learn to do it yourself. It's a lot of effort but the payoff is worth it in the end. I hope this person was able to find someone to fix her hair, the end result was not okay.
Her hair looked way better before she asked him to fix it again. If you are getting ur hair done & they just start chopping it off & u don't want that stop them immediately! The layering could have been better. She did ask for layers tho. I don't think she understood the difference in the colors from what she wanted to what she has. Of course it's gonna be different. Find a stylist you can trust & communicate good with. Communication is key!
Oh my last salon experience was even worse then this. It was BAD. So bad I’m done with hair salons. I’ve noticed that allot of hair dressers can’t use bleach properly.
I dyed my hair black when I was 16 and it made me look like a vampire. What I wanted was dark brown, which actually makes my skin look more tan. That was a hard lesson learned.
Oh man! All the crazy things I did when I was 16 to my hair. And now my son is doing the same. He has bright pink hair and is wanting bleach tips. I said no but we are actually having more fun than ever just hanging out and experimenting with his hair. My girls never let me do this and when my son turned out to be a cis straight male, I thought fun hair stuff was over, but we have a great time together just being silly.
Very interesting to see what colors are labeled as on a chart as opposed to how people would describe them. I would definitely have said the dark blonde color swatch you held up was medium brown. Goes to show what a stylist envisions is different from a client. I guess it's important to have a color chart in front of you when discussing what color you really want. Same thing with length- have a ruler available so you can say "this is what 2 inches is". But like other people said, if this was all because of a rude a-hole boyfriend saying your color is boring, then the first chop to make is him!
Some of the interpretations of color differences might be a regional too. In the US my natural color (think Let Go-era Avril Lavigne, or Emily Blunt in Into the Woods) was considered blonde, but I come for Finland so when I think blonde I think Khaleesi, Elle Fanning in The Great etc.
My hair base is like the girl in the pic... definitely dark ash blonde but so many ppl think when I grow my hair out it's brown.. I'm always having to correct.. if you compare the tones of brown hair to dark blonde hair you'll def see the difference..also by the way it lightens
@@amandaashley8631 Exactly. My hair is light brown but the ones in the chart look darker (I think it's a difference between one swatch and a look on the whole head). My light brown is similar in lightness with a dark ashy blonde, but in reality the dark blondes look different than mine light brown. There's different hue to it, different color reflexes, mine are more brassy/browny than ashy. It's light, but definitely brown.
It didn't look like he even combed the hair out all the way. Then, he picked up a handful of hair and cut. That was scary! He should have gotten out the hair chart and showed her what her hair would look like. If she wanted her color like the picture, it would have cost a lot more than $100! Her hair actually looked pretty after the 1st visit. Was it what she wanted? No. Was it a good cut? No! It wasn't as messed up as it is now! Ughhh
I have the world's best hairdresser. I've been going to him ever since he got his first job in a salon. After 15 years I just tell to do what ever he wants (we've become friends outside of the salon) and he knows me so well he knows what I will like. He's a natural and a genius! He's not fast, but every time I get home my husband says "Ooooh, Travis is a genius".
I feel for her! The same thing happened to me. I got something from my hairdresser that I neither wanted nor asked for. I wanted caramell brown highlights. I even shoed the hair dresser a picture. What I got is a Bayalage with really light (!) blond. You have no idea how shocked I was when I was how light my hair was! The blonde has ruined my natural brown hair (despite intensive care!). The hair dresser later even complained and wondered why my hair was so dry... The only thing I can do is let it grow out and be patient. I'm so angry and sad. I ended up changing the hair salon.
Her hair is still long, but she indeed lost a huge amount of length. I have my hair up to my butt, if I went to a hair salon to ask for a little trim, even a bit of layers, and got out with 5 years of growth gone, my hair only up to my bra, I would be infuriated... it's criminal, point blank period. Plus the cut itself is shameful!!
Had a good chuckle when I bleached my hair yesterday, I couldn't find one of my whisks to mix it, so I used a wooden stick applicator for waxing instead, and couldn't help but think "I am disappointing Hair Buddha" lol (came out well, though, so no complaints in the end)
....at least her hair is no longer boring. The color thing can be confusing. For the majority of my life, I thought I had natural light brown hair, until I asked my hair stylist for products that would help keep my hair from bleaching so much in the sun. She led me straight to the blond section for some UV protection. I was about to protest, because I had always considered myself a brunette. But I when I got home, I looked up some professional color charts online, and sure enough, I'm dark blond.
I love watching your reaction to the videos you show, you really make me laugh. Thank you for putting a smile on my face. Best wishes from Shropshire, England x
I've encountered the "people thinking their clearly medium/dark blond hair is brown" problem where I live, but on the English speaking part of the internet the only blond in existence seems to be bleach/platinum/maybe very light blond? For once, I would like to find a video of someone colouring their naturally blond hair 😒
In the past I had to argue a lot with people, that I have dark blonde hair and not brown… But it seems like it is normal to confuse these two. When I was colouring my hair in the hair salon (ginger), I had one appointment before, so my hair stylist could take a closer look on my natural colour and what I wanted, so she could say, what is possible and what not. I really think it is, like in the video said, that the hairstylist says, what is possible and what not. But I guess there are also clients who cannot accept, if the wished result isn‘t possible. Well, I like pastel colours, but my hair would never survive it, so I don‘t do it xD But yeah, the work of this hair salon is really bad. Especially the hair cut… I can understand that girls with long hair don‘t want it shorter (even when I‘m someone who would sa „okay, then chop it off, no problem for me“), but it will grow again, it takes just longer… Still better than an awful cut I would say.
I recently went to a new stylist to get a similar balayage done and ended up with highlights...It would have been ok if she had listened to where I wanted the color to start, but she took them so close to my roots. Then, she charged me $50 extra to "smudge" the color so it would "blend" with my natural ash brown hair, but the smudge toner turned the area brassy. She did manage to tone the ends ashy like I wanted, but overall it just looked a bit odd. I've since washed my hair a few times and its settled down, but its still not what I was after and I'm considering my options going forward. She is great at cutting hair, but coloring clearly isn't her strong suit. I'll be sure to seek out a seasoned pro next time I attempt coloring my hair...
Unfortunately this cutting too much of my hair without consent has happened more times than a happy haircut. I have a hair stylist now who doesn’t cut more than I say or more than she shows me and I’ve been going to her for years now. Before that I had had wanted 3 inches off my waist long hair and got a cut to shoulder length before I even knew what was happening! I didn’t go to a hair salon for 6 years and was cutting my own hair at home because I would have rather had not perfect hair than short hair constantly from every time them not listening to me. It makes me so angry ! I do NOT understand they’re attitude on wanting to chop off long hair. It’s like they’re mad you have long hair. I don’t like going to the salon at all. And everyone who does perfect hair on Instagram and TH-cam I feel doesn’t actually work in the industry they just make videos or something and all the hairdressers around in salons hardly have any talent. If someone can do better hair at home than a average hairdresser they need to go back to school or there’s a serious problem that schools are not testing these peoples skills before they’re certified. Idk but it makes me very upset.
When you took out the color chart and explained what's light brown and what's dark brown, I remembered a moment I had with a friend. "Look at the girl with the black hair, she's so pretty!", and I was like "what girl? there is no girl with black hair!", and he was like "well that girl over there with that green shirt", and I was like "oh, yah, that girl with the light brown hair, right there? yah, she really is pretty.", people keep thinking I do have brown hair too (naturally) and ask me how I get my hair white blonde so easily. Well, my hair naturally is medium ash blonde, not brown... (maybe leaning towards dark ash blonde in certain areas, but certainly not brown) that isn't that hard to lift to a level ten. But it is hard to explain to people who have never been in touch with hair coloring theory without sounding like a complete nerd to them.
I went to a new stylist and showed him a photo of a haircut I wanted, he said absolutely not, he followed up with my hair type is very different from the girl in the photo as well as my face shape. He gave me a few suggestions and I was thankful.
It does take a long time to find a good hairdresser/stylist I had to go to alot of different salons to find mine but it was definitely worth it 💖 thankyou for another wonderful video sending love and light to you and your family 💖 always
Once I went to a salon in West London where they claimed to have an extensive celebrity clientelle for over 10 years. I asked for a perm (curling) which I got. For 2 hours! I went back and showed them my hair was straight again and I wanted a refund. They offered to give me treatment. I said, no thanks, I want a refund. Which I eventually got. I paid for a perm, I got a temp 😂 I was soooo annoyed.
Hair.. a fickle Mistress. Mr. Hair Buddha, to be honest with You, once someone has a bad situation happen at a salon this becomes the reason for Box Dye and Do-It-Oneself failures that become commentary fodder. When the wrong stylist makes a mistake it literally cuts the clientele out altogether. As a result of this gentleman some will dye and style their own hair.. and that is the true sorrow. It appears that I am not the only woman to find myself eked out of the salon as an older client. We Love You. Open a school. (Laughing gently)❤
I've had nightmare haircuts. One time I asked for a trim, and told the hairdresser not to make the top too short because my hair is thin and see through. So what did I get? A mullet. No kidding. It took a year to grow out. Now I trim it myself.
It's styled hair. It looks so good on her I love the cut. Even though the highlights aren't amazingly well done. It looks a lot better than what she started out with! I think her hair looks great!
I nearly freaked out when the stylist began cutting!!!! BUT the client should have been SPECIFIC about how much she wanted cut off. My stylist asks me at every appointment “so, how much do you want trimmed/cut today?” If I say “just say hello to the ends with the scissors” she knows exactly what I mean. If I say “let’s cut it!” She’ll show me what 2” or 3” or 4” will be, indicating to me what the length will be. Then we decide.
If I was at this hairdresser I would be yelling at him because he's not doing a proper job and he's very rough with his handling and he's not really listening to her. I would scream at him to stop and then re-explain to him exactly what I came in for. And if he wasn't going to follow through with what I wanted to do then I would ask for a different hairdresser to finish up what he started
Your experience/explanation is so precise...to the viewers and that’s how it has to be with the clients ,during the consultation exactly too.well done sir👏. What I’d really like to see is the color correction video.
I’m not a hairdresser but I think her hair looks so good! Ok going to amend this statement. Now that she’s showing her hair with no curls . Wow. Chopped.
The first and last time I cut my hair, I was in Jr. High and I tried to trim my bangs. Yeah, that didn't come out that well, but my hair grows fast thankfully. Videos like this remind me why it's so important to build a relationship with your hair stylist, be consistent, and discuss what you can or cannot do. Besides her color not coming out correctly, the cut alone looks pretty choppy. I wonder if she researched the technique itself or did she just find a picture of what she wanted the outcome to look like?
Sometimes it's the salon and sometimes it's the client,but he had good reviews,but her hair was better before he tried to fix it, I think he used less care as she used a coupon,a lot of hairdresser resent having to take coupons for more expensive and time consuming processes.
Yes I always assumed I had dark brown hair too and I have medium brown hair. When I went to have my hair bleached platinum blonde, it went to very lite yellow fast. Well I did go to the salon with long virgin hair that wasn’t dyed in 8 years. The hairdresser gave me a beautiful cool toned blonde . I loved it. Years later, to maintain it, i decided to not have the roots bleached anymore, but rather just highlites so as it grows out it will just blend in as heavy blond highlites. And my scalp won’t be destroyed. Bleaching your roots every 6-8 weeks is very bad coz bleach get absorbed into your body and you can get cancer. I didn’t care at first. I was young and healthy and didn’t have any family history of cancer. So I kept having my hair bleached for 6 yrs straight. Every 6 weeks. At about the 6 year mark I reluctantly went to my Gyn appt and u can guess where I’m going with this. He found a lump in my left breast. It was cancer. Now I hate going to doctors. I have not gone to see my gyn in about 6 yrs. I only went because my husband felt it too. I don’t play with my own boobs so I never would have found it. So after he harassed me into going, I FINALLY gave in and went. I had to take a day off . So the gyn referred me to one of NYC best breast cancer surgeons . We went and she had me do several biopsies on both breasts. But only my left had cancer. She told me it’s been caught pretty early but IF I left it alone and waited 6 more years, Id be dead. She then scheduled me for surgery and was able to give me a lumpectomy so I don’t lose my entire breast. My husband was there and he asked the surgeon to remove both of my breasts just in case so the cancer doesn’t come back, oh and he added, while you’re there give her big breast implants. Lol I was originally a 36B. So he wanted me to be a D Cup. I never knew he wasn’t happy with my size . 😢 But the surgeon told him she is not performing unnecessary surgery. She said “Do u even realize what you’re asking, the huge trauma you want to put your wife under? She would have to endure two separate surgeries, she will be in excruciating pain after and the implants may cause her life long problems. And there is no guarantee that the cancer will not come back and be in her breast bone”. He was shocked that she spoke to him like that. Obviously I said NO IMPLANTS. I’ll explain why later with my sisters story. Anyway so she cut a tiny spot under my arm and cut out the cancer and sewed me back. Now it’s a few yrs later and you can’t even see the scar. But my left breast is a lil smaller than my right breast. You can only really tell if I’m not wearing a bra and the top is very tight. But wearing a bra. You can’t tell. To have saved my life, it was worth it. And you know what, yea I honestly would like to have C cup boobs, perfect for my short 5’ tall frame. But I have seen my younger sister struggle for 20 years with her breast implants and they ruptured on her during a rough sex encounter with her boyfriend. It leaked so bad causing her autoimmune disease and she was so sick for many years. She could not afford to have her implants removed. Insurance didn’t cover it. One night while driving for UBER, a drunk driver hit her head on and she was severely hurt. She had broken ribs an arm and fingers and her face was smashed . She got about half a million settlement. I think she deserves millions coz she can never work now. But it’s capped at a million now. Our corrupt politicians who are paid off by insurance companies have enacted a law saying u can’t sue for more than a mil. Even if there are 4 ppl in the car and all suffer in the accident and can’t ever work, that million gets divided by all 4 with the worst one hurt getting the most money. So then the lawyer takes 30% and what’s left is very lil money . So my sister got the most she could get. After lawyer fees, she got $300,000. Which was enough for her to remove both her horrible implants . Some of her implants have fused to her ribs and the surgeon had to shave some ribs off . She was in pain for months and had to go to physical rehabilitation for years. Her removing her implants cured her autoimmune disease as well as others serious health problems. She bought a small condo in Florida. She’s resting coz she can’t work. Her broken hands and fingers never healed right and after many surgeries , it’s the best they could do. She can’t drive, she’s in pain a lot. Every day. My heart breaks for my only sister. She belongs to many breast implant groups and most ppl have no idea just how many women(men too) regret having implants done. And they’re stuck with them. Many women have serious immune problems because of implants, not just breast problems . Women and men who claim to have had no problems are either lying(many do) or they haven’t had anything happen YET. Or they just don’t know. Coz like me they don’t go to their Dr and Gynecologist yearly . They will all regret it,…please protect your hands and fingers as well as feet and toes, from accidents. They are extremely hard to fix and most ppl don’t heal right and are in pain for ever. Use your arm to protect your face while also protecting hand and fingers. But like my sister said “nobody remember to do all that in a quick accident” most ppl react badly . Thanks for reading .
I always love your explanations. So helpful! I’m also glad to know that I was right when I told my best friend she had blonde hair - she claims it’s brown but it’s even lighter than the dark ash blonde!
My mom is a retired hairstylist for health reasons so she doesn't do her hair anymore, she became a hairstylist bcs of these people that screwed her hair a lot of times and I remember this REALLY memorable time after having me she starting to care for herself again, grew her hair beautifully till hips and decided to get it trimmed and straightened...the woman CUT her hair up to neck in one go, fried her hair asked a lot $ for all this horrible things and had the audacity of keeping her hair to SELL!! My mom cried for weeks and stayed with a really low self-esteem for a long time. Since then she gave the cutting and trimming her hair power in my 7/8 yo at the time hands...she's happy with the results most of the time tho thank God
Yes I learned! Have a measurements already planned, including how high I want balayage to come up. Maybe have a string with knots representing those lengths. I probably have light med 🤎 with a lot of grey and natural red highlights. I could wish the greys were a bit less localized right above my ears 😏 but I am dramatic enough to flaunt them. So we suit well enough. Always a jammin' time learning from you. Be well! 😘💕
Reason l do not trust hairdressers, in the 80s and 90s of perms and tips, apprentices left to do hair on busy Saturday, not listening to you about length etc.. done my own hair for years and only person l can blame is me..that's why l watch these kind of videos to see correct methods and experiment
The biggest issue clients/hairstylists have, is lack of communication and a vast difference in knowledge. My mom is a stylist, and I've learned to ask for 1 inch because I know she'll take 2. And when it comes to colour; looking at the colour charts and asking questions. I have dark blonde hair. (With quite a bit of grey now). I also have red undertones, which are undetectable with the naked eye. Anything golden will go yellow 💛 or orange 🧡 or red ❤. Communication is key. Schedule an extra 15 minutes for discussion, if your going for something different than your usual. 😉
I'm not saying this happened in this case. I have personally seen a hairdresser not give the best cut or style to a client bc they were upset. That cut is something that wouldn't be seen in cosmo school.
Pro-Tip: If your boyfriend/Girlfriend/Partner always tells you your hair is boring and wants you to change it, go ahead, make the change of getting a new, more exciting partner. Nobody needs that kind of rude-ass manipulation in their lives.
My thoughts exactly.
Bingo
Yep, totally. And I‘m sure he is making her situation now even more worse, so put him away… Such people aren‘t worth it. He can have his own opinion, but to tell it someone and to want someone changing for his own taste is awful. Poor girl… This mess just for a jerk, I really feel sorry for her.
Perfect 🤣😂
Well said 👍
It’s one thing to see people ruin their own hair, but it’s SCANDALOUS when a hairdresser does it. This is awful. She trusted someone she SHOULD be able to trust.
THANK YOU for saying that if a client only wants a tiny bit taken off, you must not take off more without their consent, even if you personally think it would be better! After all, it's their hair and they have to live and be happy with it. There is nothing worse than a hairdresser who breaks their client's trust by chopping off more than was agreed on!
My ex SIL did that to me. She would come over and cut everyone's hair (she was licensed). I didn't even want a cut, but said what the heck, I'll get a trim. She decided I needed 4 inches off. I was furious.
Exactly! Years ago i went in for a trim of my waist lenght hair And the first cut I felt was metal against my neck And immediately felt the cut. I am still furious about it. To this day i refer to him as Edward Scissor Hands
But if you go to a professional and ignore the advice, don't be surprised I'd things go wrong, if you went to a doctor and he said you need surgery, don't be surprised if physiotherapy doesn't work
@@karencooper3428 a bit overdramatic response. Your own personal clothing, makeup and hairstyle choices dont compare to having surgery 😂😂😂 I am a little shocked at myself for responding to this message.....but I continue...Also, all of our above messages where not about not taking advice...we were never given the option. Edward scissorhands made the decision for me.
@@Lovinvallarta 😂😂😂
when a partner tells you “change *X* it’s boring” it really means “i’m comparing you to others & they’re winning”
Kinda insecure, aren't you? Sometimes partners want to change their other half for better. Probably never heard of boyfriend/girlfriend effect😂😂😂 My fiancé supported and gave me a lot of confidence to grow my hair. I always dreamed of long hair and I finally grew them. I get lots of compliments because they are well maintained and healthy. That makes me feel so much better 😊
@@wero1799 okay but the comment wasnt about you and your fiance.
There's a clear difference between being supportive/encouraging, and telling her she's boring so she should change herself to suit his tastes. You clearly missed the point and made it all about you and your situation. 🙄
@@wero1799 I think you're way overexplaining, which sounds like nervous projection to me.
I am the queen of telling stylist to stop or leaving if it’s not not going well. I refuse to let someone mess up my hair.
People need to not be scared to tell the stylist to stop!! It’s YOUR hair and your money. Period!
I'm trying to teach myself to be more assertive. Even when my food is wrong, I could be allergic and I wouldn't say anything. I also have lots of tattoos and a few i hate but never had the balls to say anything 😭
Lovely brown hair is NOT boring! It looked very nice before she went to the salon 🧡
Indeed
yuh, and I wonder how the boyfriend who pressured her to change her hair feels about the result. I really hope she goes to someone else, does a color correction and a big chop but this is not her fault as she tried to vet her stylist. the only thing she could have done better is to speak up more quickly, but I don't know that it would have changed the overall outcome
Exactly it was beautiful like it was
Yesss. Took me so long to learn to love my hair. ❤️
I wonder if her boyfriend was one of those people painting natural hardwood fun and interesting colors.
My mouth literally fell open when he made that first chop!!!
Indeed
That’s when she should have told him to stop. That was the first sign of disaster coming, yet she didn’t say a word. She was crying and he did nothing but add to it by chopping more.
I cut my daughter's hair much better than that. In 2cm thin combed sections. Not professional but way better than what this poor woman got.
As someone who is SUPER close to graduating from cosmetology school (3 months), I'm just SO glad that I've been close attention in class and even MORE happy that I've found your channel while I'm still in school. I was noticing all the problems you were pointing out right away, and that just confirms to me that I've really been retaining the information I've been getting from school, and from YOU! Thank you for everything you do, you're an AMAZING teacher! 👏❤👏❤👏
Good luck in your future as a stylist!! Its loads of fun when you get to do colours 💜💙💚 on people. My moms a stylist,(80 years old and still doing a few clients a week); my niece is training.
As a hairstylist I can tell you HairBuddha is hands down the best!!! *And* he gives the BEST advise and the info and his judgement is always 100% accurate!!!! Don't listen to these "hairstylist" that have graduated from you tube university they don't know crap!!!
Look at cutting videos too like Kenneth Siu's.
@@ella_cinder4361 Your mom is amazing to still be a hair artist at 80! Wow. Maybe you can make a video of her and share. I think she'd inspire so many others
I hope you’re doing well and enjoying the job! 💕
Honestly, she sounds like she has the wrong boyfriend not hair. Her natural hair was beautiful, just needed some layers and styling, with some natural balayage highlights. The stylist did a crappy job, like a beginning hair student, not even.
Yeah I've had my hair styled by students and they did AN AMAZING JOB. The bleach was a little patchy but they managed to cut my hair EXACTLY like how I drew out my design. So this guy just sucks.
Watching these trips to the salon makes me want to hug my wonderful expert hair dresser. I do hug her often but this really makes me want to make a trip just to hug her.
I asked a hairdresser once to just take off the dead ends and freshen up the layers. We both agreed that I needed to take off 2 inches and I was fine with that. When she was getting started she said that I needed to stand up during the haircut because my hair was too long she said. My hair had been longer than it was at that time and I never needed to stay standing for a haircut before. I thought it was strange, but went ahead since I really needed a cut. She wound up cutting over 6 inches and I was upset. She was nonchalant about it and said it'll grow back. Didn't offer a discount or anything for not giving me what I wanted. It wasn't a bad cut, but 6 inches of hair is a lot to lose when you're trying to get your hair even longer.
I asked for 3 inches off and when I left, she had taken 11 inches off. She acted like nothing was wrong. I cried for weeks. It ended up being so choppy, I had to go get it redone by someone else who said the only way to truly fix it was to take off a few more inches. Had hair down to my hips, ended with it up at my collar bone.
Well I once wanted a layered bob and ended up with a bixie. I didn't went to a hairdresser for 3 years after that.
How does this happen? They cut it in front of a mirror. I watch every snip to make sure they don't take off too much.
@@jerseytomato100 “Can you please take off your glasses?” BAM! I’m blind, literally blind. Can’t see the E on the top of the eyechart; can’t even tell what wall the eyechart could be pinned to. 🤷🏻♀️
I really wonder if those who cut 6 inches instead of 1 or 2, failed elementary school. That’s really basic.
This is exactly why I have trust issues with getting my hair cut. Last time I went I said to cut 3-4 cm or inch and a half. Went from long hair to above sholeders in a matter of seconds. Woman just grabbed half my hair and cut 20 cm off (8 inches). I was in shock and all I could see was my mom in the mirror, her eyes almost poping off her eyesockets and more than half my hair in the womans hands. She had the nerve to ask if that was enough, while I told her 3 times that I only want to cut an inch or two. Might as well f up my hair for free by myself instead to pay someone to do it.
I am mean. I cut a strip of paper to the length I will allow to be cut off. I also take my ruler. I show it to the stylist and say "This is the maximum I want cut off." When they make their first cut, I ask to see what was cut off. I apologetically say I got a bad cut once where they cut so much off now I'm scared. They all comply.
This is a big fear of mine with new stylists, and I will take note when I have a consult of how well they seem to listen and how pushy they seem to be. I definitely like to know what they think I should have trimmed off, but I also expect for them to respect whatever my final wish is for how much to cut.
My daughter has her Mum trim her ends after so many bad cuts.
Me toooo I still have trauma around it. My waist length hair was magically at my shoulders.. I still torment myself wanting to destroy their business like they destroy peoples hair.
I wound not of payed 😢 the hairdresser f#*ked your hair up I also would of taken them to court
This video was amazing! The boyfriend though... I give him one star. He literally tell her that her hair was boring 😒
Right though? That's straight up rude af. He could've shut up, or found a nicer way to communicate that HE was bored with her hair. Her hair wasn't boring. He was bored with it. BIG DIFFERENCE.
Wow he was honest 😂 I understand that most people prefer to be lied too😂😂
@@wero1799 Most ppl prefer someone who cares about them.
@@juls9553 telling someone they’d look better with different hair is not “not caring” about them 🙄
I was so tired of bad hair cuts and coloring that I had to learn how to do it myself, and since then my hair is healthy and growing like never before. You don’t only need to like what you do, you need to love it and that love and passion will show in your clients hair🌺
You knew it was headed into the danger zone when you didn't see sectioning before cutting... I am honestly very grateful the cut turned out the way it did because anything could have happened with just taking hair from wherever 😱 the color is totally fixable though, so the outcome is challenging but not a total disaster. ❤️ I was scared there for a moment 😆
I love your explanations of why certain colour changes are not possible and why it is not possible to achieve the colour in a photo. Non-hairdressers like me really need this stuff explaining so we get it. Otherwise you think the hairdresser is just being difficult.
HB you are so soft, educative and kind in your reactions. It's a joy to watch your videos, truly! Thank you for another great video!
I didn’t really hate the first color, but the ‘fixed’ color, oh my god. Hideous. And that cut! When she turned around and showed the back - that was just bad. I’ve had a few bad experiences at the salon, but that was one of the worst weed-cutter haircuts I’ve ever seen.
My long time stylist/friend is always completely honest with me about my expectations whenever I decide to go for a new color variation. Sometimes it’s a process to achieve the final result, but she always explains it to me. She’s an amazing stylist, and I’ve always been super happy with my hair, but it’s so true that much of it is because she has always communicated to me about the processes we will need to go through to achieve a final result.
I actually thought it looked really nice before she went back. I get it’s not what she wanted but I wish mine looked that thick and beautiful!
I agree with you!
Consult, consult and consult again! Before you touch a hair on anyones head.
And full history of hair processes with timeline (a colour doesn't grow out in 2 months!)
To all clients... demand this level of service. You deserve it. X
I feel this is how most salons in the U.S. are. I go in with chest length hair, ask for a trim, end up with chin length hair. I go in wanting a dark ash brown with highlights. I leave with dark brown and two orange streaks in the front.
Yeah at least the ones I've been to are the same way.
I think it’s the training
I’m a hairdresser in Australia and we do a 4 year apprenticeship
From what I understand online a cosmetology licence in the US that covers hair, nails, beauty and makeup takes 12 months ! How can anyone perfect their craft in 12 months ?
Yes! It’s so difficult finding good and professional hairdressers 😩
Here in our state of Utah, I believe it's 2,000 hour of training/practice then take a test to get your certificate? Still not enough, as I cut my own hair after many disappointing experiences.
@@amandarobbins2530 you are correct, not nearly enough and not fair to us. Luckily I was living in the city and had the opportunity of attending continuing education classes.
My favourite part of this video is Hair Buddha having had enough of the "she had brown hair" and busting out the catalogue 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Ahahahaha, he was so serious while emphatically pointing at the color chart! I giggled out loud. 🤣
This is why I have 1 hair dresser….I will never change. She knows what I like and does her job very well.
This is why I stopped going to salons. They never give me the cut I want, even with a bunch of pictures and I’m always disappointed. I am not very picky and the cuts I ask for are basic, like a blunt bob or something, when I ask to thin out the bottom they always cut layers even though I say NO layers. I just want it thinned out. I just do it myself, if I mess it up at least it’s free.
It makes me so sad to see people end up with stylists like this who can't seem to communicate effectively. My aunt is a stylist and salon owner and has done my hair my whole life. She still talks me through everything, every time, just to be sure we're on the same page. If I tell her to cut however much needs to be cut for my hair to be healthy, she physically shows me how much that will be. If we're coloring my hair, she asks if I want to change anything and shows me what it's likely to look like. I just don't understand the total lack of communication on this stylist's part😬
Omg! You are in the barber room! I have always been curious about where you were and it's finally been revealed.
I liked this upload. Having so much of the good stuff right at the start isn't as entertaining as reacting to it at the same time as you.
You know it's bad when someone who knows nothing about cutting hair (me) is watching and goes "he didn't even brush through that big chunk of- oh no why is he cutting that?!" :'D Also I've never seen those hair color "swatches" before and they look so cool!
Phew, this cut 😱😱😱
This is where actually curly haired people have an advantage (like myself), so that worst case scenario you do not see how choppy it is thanks to the curls 😅
Having experienced hackers on my long but fine hair, I finally learnt to say "Stop!" Your common sense tells you that that dude shouldn't even be allowed to cut a hedge with his lucky packet qualifications. Yikes.
What a hair dresser considers short and what a girl who keeps hair long enough to reach her lower back considers short hair. For years my sister considered hair that reached her bra strap on her back (so middle of her back) to be a short hair cut. I considered hair cut just above my shoulders to be short and a hair dresser told me that was considered medium length. This really helped me to know how to communicate to a hair dresser.
We need to get Hair Buddha his own show.. where he goes in and helps struggling salons and helps them advance their techniques!
That was done in the mid 2000s. Tabitha. I forget the name of her show. She was one tough cookie. Like a female Gordon Ramsey. Good stuff 👍
This is why, as the child of a hairdresser, I'm doing my research and doing MY OWN HAIR. I'd rather spend less, and only be upset with myself if I screw it up lol
It took me a while to realize that my idea of long and short are very different from my hairdresser's. lol. First I'd only let her take a centimeter, but after years of gaining my trust, she'll look at me and say, "Today it's time for the big sacrifice" and I sigh and say, "Do what you have to do". - and thanks to her, my hair looks great. ;)
Similar situation happened to me at an Aveda salon outside Washington D.C. I spent $340 and many tears. All I wanted was balayage with heavy highlights. My hair is a Neutral tone level 8/7.5 naturally so its very easy to work with! I somehow ended up with level 6 redfish roots and honey colored ends. Thankfully I spoke up and got it fixed! (Ashy Level 8 root, with level 10 soft baby lights throughout) Long story short though, I’ve been doing my own hair ever since. 🥴
Similar situation, a have alot of hair, wavy, virgin ash blond hair. I know what might be possible with my hair and what is not. I feel bad because I explain and I am very specific, something that I think I shouldn't need to explain, but do just in case. SO, I have learned to cut my own hair from videos and I have done a better job than professionals (I understand, maybe I need to go to higher end salons. Because I know there are amazing artists in the hair industry! Way better than what I do to my hair, but . . .)
Quite a long time ago now:
Lots of fine medium-dark brown hair that had violet put over it (the color shone in the sun but was stealthy under crap office lighting.) I went to an expensive salon for a treatment to put it back to my natural color and some repair so I could grow it out from a bob. The owner did my hair, but I waited ages and ages. It was a dual appointment with a friend and we were sat at opposite ends of the salon, but then they made me wait until she was done before starting on me. There were no other customers, the other hairdresser was just hanging out. They opened a bottle of champagne everyone had a glass (while at work, begore cutting my hair?? I should have left, but I wanted to spend time with my friend.) It didn't turn out an unsalvageable mess, but between telling me that I absolutely should not adopt because I'll get [racist code words] child addicted to hard drugs and being absolutely certain they were gossiping about me (because they were gossiping about my friend when they got to me) I was not terribly happy with the service.
For the cut: the layering was much more than I'd ever had despite saying I was growing it out and put it up for work. After a few days I realized that without a lot of product the shorter pieces were just permanent flyaways. A French braid was the only way to put it up for work without them escaping because of how short some of it was, with less than half my hair going past my shoulders anymore. Hair nets [ugh so hot and ugly] were what I had to deal with for a long time.
But the worst part! For months after I got uncountable calls, texts, and emails harassing me to make my next appointment. Instead of doing that I called to cancel the one I had made that day and eventually blocked their number after they started up again a year later. 🙃 I've never had to block a small business before or since.
Her partner calling her hair boring makes me really sad 😢 leave your hair how YOU like
HB: Regarding hair color, just show/tell the client what YOUR color measurement stick is--those swatches and that helps. That way you and the client are on the same page! I completely get it. Makes sense!
OMG I'd be so upset if my stylist considered that much hair a trim! I'll never forget the story my friend's sister told me about her worst haircut. She had beautiful long healthy hair that she'd been growing out and it was maybe halfway down her back. She discussed the cut with the stylist and told her she wanted just a trim. She flicked her hair back with her hands just above her shoulders, the way you do when you have long hair to put it all behind your shoulders. The stylist decided that where her hands had touched her hair was where she wanted it cut, and chopped her waist length hair to chin length!! Stylist said she thought that she was motioning to where she wanted the hair to be cut. The girl got really upset but there was no saving it and she had to go short! I can't believe some stylists seem to not know what clients mean by "just a trim" and don't even ask before they take multiple inches off.
I hate when they saying “It looks like I’m cutting more than you think”. I’ve heard that waaaay tooo much. And then, it’s too short!!
I love it when Hair Buddha breaks out the "Big Book Of Hair"!!! 📖 I always learn something. I definitely thought that color was brown but I've learned the truth! 🙂
I feel so bad for her. She didn't even wanted an haircut, she just did it for her idiotic boyfriend and she ends up looking like this.
Edit: thank you for the little class on hair colors. I always thought I was light brown, but I'm a #8 blonde.
Her hair was gorgeous before. And definitely not boring.
And this ladies and gentleman is why I haven't been to a salon in almost 20 years; I just don't trust them. Maybe I have some hairdresser logic in my dna but I've been cutting and colouring my own hair for a long time and only once have I ever needed to be rescued from a colour flop. (Black henna is not real henna) I even went platinum blonde once from dark blonde and it went totally fine but I read and followed the directions, maybe that's the difference.
Yep..I relate to that! Do you too have long hair by any chance? I haven't been to the hairdresser in about 6-7 yrs lol..I follow a Brad Mondo ' lockdown hair cutting guide's video..holy crap the trim ( 2 inches ) I took off my long hair I impressed myself.lol x
Yep, good communication is EVERYTHING!!
Thank you I have learned a LOT!!! I'm going in for a balayage next week but I now know that my hair is dark brown and not dark ash blonde. So now I'll talk with the hairdresser about different ideas. But I was going for something similar this girl went for and now I know not to do that because it won't come out that way. Also I learned how to scream: "SECTIONS!!!!" at the screen. Thank you so much Hair Buddha.
"Sections"! Lol.
I am not a hairdresser but I am an painting artist and I can remix every paint tone just by seeing it and just with 3-5 basic colours. And as I saw the wanted picture my first thought was "girl your hair is too dark and red, if you want this tone they should bleach it first until red is gone" The most people don't see the included pigments they just see red but I can say if it is possible to get pink with this red or not. Because I see if there is yellow or not included.
I didn’t think the first attempt was that bad, the end result was tragic.
Experiences like this are why I learned how to do hair. When my hair grew back after chemo, it was uneven and thin at the ends and really gross looking. For the first time in 20 years, I scheduled an appointment to get it cut because I did not have the strength to do it myself at that point. Covid shut everything down a few weeks before my appointment. I took that as my sign, don't go back. I had my husband cut it. He was so scared of messing up he ONLY did what I told him to. I had just gotten my hair back (I am 6 foot tall and had waist length hair pre-cancer, my hair was my baby) and he didn't want to cut too much off or mess it up. He did a fantastic job. That was 2020. Now, almost 2 years later, he's still the only person that has cut my hair since it came back. He is a nervous wreck every time, but he always does super great. I have bleached and dyed it a few times in the last year, but when it comes to cuts he takes care of that for me.. I have taken my kids a few times to get cuts, but always end up fixing it because one side is 2 inches longer than the other or the layers are very choppy in the worst way. My husband is military so I fade and cut his hair at least once a month. When I was on chemo, I couldn't cut their hair. In the 2 years I was on chemo, between the 3 of them (husband and 2 kids), there was 1 haircut that actually turned out good.
Moral of the story. Put a lot of effort in to finding a hair dresser. My experience is there are more bad ones than good ones. And if you can't find a good one, learn to do it yourself. It's a lot of effort but the payoff is worth it in the end. I hope this person was able to find someone to fix her hair, the end result was not okay.
I agree there are more bad o es than good!
The first haircut and colour looked good 😊
Her hair looked way better before she asked him to fix it again. If you are getting ur hair done & they just start chopping it off & u don't want that stop them immediately! The layering could have been better. She did ask for layers tho. I don't think she understood the difference in the colors from what she wanted to what she has. Of course it's gonna be different. Find a stylist you can trust & communicate good with. Communication is key!
Watching that last cut hurt my hairdresser heart!
Mine too
When cutting my hair, my hairdresser even asks me to not cross my legs so my hips and spin is even. She's such a pro💅
Oh my last salon experience was even worse then this. It was BAD. So bad I’m done with hair salons. I’ve noticed that allot of hair dressers can’t use bleach properly.
I dyed my hair black when I was 16 and it made me look like a vampire. What I wanted was dark brown, which actually makes my skin look more tan. That was a hard lesson learned.
Oh man! All the crazy things I did when I was 16 to my hair. And now my son is doing the same. He has bright pink hair and is wanting bleach tips. I said no but we are actually having more fun than ever just hanging out and experimenting with his hair. My girls never let me do this and when my son turned out to be a cis straight male, I thought fun hair stuff was over, but we have a great time together just being silly.
I have NEVER seen a haircut like this...
Hair Buddha you are so cute with your expression. You always make me laugh....
Very interesting to see what colors are labeled as on a chart as opposed to how people would describe them. I would definitely have said the dark blonde color swatch you held up was medium brown. Goes to show what a stylist envisions is different from a client. I guess it's important to have a color chart in front of you when discussing what color you really want. Same thing with length- have a ruler available so you can say "this is what 2 inches is". But like other people said, if this was all because of a rude a-hole boyfriend saying your color is boring, then the first chop to make is him!
Some of the interpretations of color differences might be a regional too. In the US my natural color (think Let Go-era Avril Lavigne, or Emily Blunt in Into the Woods) was considered blonde, but I come for Finland so when I think blonde I think Khaleesi, Elle Fanning in The Great etc.
My hair base is like the girl in the pic... definitely dark ash blonde but so many ppl think when I grow my hair out it's brown.. I'm always having to correct.. if you compare the tones of brown hair to dark blonde hair you'll def see the difference..also by the way it lightens
@@amandaashley8631 Exactly. My hair is light brown but the ones in the chart look darker (I think it's a difference between one swatch and a look on the whole head). My light brown is similar in lightness with a dark ashy blonde, but in reality the dark blondes look different than mine light brown. There's different hue to it, different color reflexes, mine are more brassy/browny than ashy. It's light, but definitely brown.
If my boyfriend told me my hair was boring, I would reply, "Do you want me to tell you what is boring? YOU."
It didn't look like he even combed the hair out all the way. Then, he picked up a handful of hair and cut. That was scary! He should have gotten out the hair chart and showed her what her hair would look like. If she wanted her color like the picture, it would have cost a lot more than $100! Her hair actually looked pretty after the 1st visit. Was it what she wanted? No. Was it a good cut? No! It wasn't as messed up as it is now! Ughhh
I appreciate that your reactions offer constructive criticism and don't just attack the people who messed up.
I have the world's best hairdresser. I've been going to him ever since he got his first job in a salon. After 15 years I just tell to do what ever he wants (we've become friends outside of the salon) and he knows me so well he knows what I will like. He's a natural and a genius! He's not fast, but every time I get home my husband says "Ooooh, Travis is a genius".
I feel for her! The same thing happened to me. I got something from my hairdresser that I neither wanted nor asked for. I wanted caramell brown highlights. I even shoed the hair dresser a picture. What I got is a Bayalage with really light (!) blond. You have no idea how shocked I was when I was how light my hair was! The blonde has ruined my natural brown hair (despite intensive care!). The hair dresser later even complained and wondered why my hair was so dry... The only thing I can do is let it grow out and be patient. I'm so angry and sad. I ended up changing the hair salon.
The same thing happened to me. 😳
That N'Sync comment she made was spot on. It was a perfect description of what it looked like.
Her hair is still long, but she indeed lost a huge amount of length. I have my hair up to my butt, if I went to a hair salon to ask for a little trim, even a bit of layers, and got out with 5 years of growth gone, my hair only up to my bra, I would be infuriated... it's criminal, point blank period. Plus the cut itself is shameful!!
Had a good chuckle when I bleached my hair yesterday, I couldn't find one of my whisks to mix it, so I used a wooden stick applicator for waxing instead, and couldn't help but think "I am disappointing Hair Buddha" lol (came out well, though, so no complaints in the end)
You’re probably safer with the wood than the whisk (if it’s metal), wood is less reactive
One of my favorite types of videos! Yayy 🥰❤️
That so called hairdresser came off as showing contempt, total disregard, towards the client by doing a sloppy joe on her head.
....at least her hair is no longer boring.
The color thing can be confusing. For the majority of my life, I thought I had natural light brown hair, until I asked my hair stylist for products that would help keep my hair from bleaching so much in the sun. She led me straight to the blond section for some UV protection. I was about to protest, because I had always considered myself a brunette. But I when I got home, I looked up some professional color charts online, and sure enough, I'm dark blond.
I love watching your reaction to the videos you show, you really make me laugh. Thank you for putting a smile on my face. Best wishes from Shropshire, England x
I've encountered the "people thinking their clearly medium/dark blond hair is brown" problem where I live, but on the English speaking part of the internet the only blond in existence seems to be bleach/platinum/maybe very light blond?
For once, I would like to find a video of someone colouring their naturally blond hair 😒
Thanks for explaining the hair colours! I understand the struggle 👍 everyone thinks blonde has to be light🙈
Yes I learnt from this video
Yes I was entertained
Yes am subscibed
Thanks HB
Thx
In the past I had to argue a lot with people, that I have dark blonde hair and not brown… But it seems like it is normal to confuse these two.
When I was colouring my hair in the hair salon (ginger), I had one appointment before, so my hair stylist could take a closer look on my natural colour and what I wanted, so she could say, what is possible and what not. I really think it is, like in the video said, that the hairstylist says, what is possible and what not. But I guess there are also clients who cannot accept, if the wished result isn‘t possible. Well, I like pastel colours, but my hair would never survive it, so I don‘t do it xD
But yeah, the work of this hair salon is really bad. Especially the hair cut… I can understand that girls with long hair don‘t want it shorter (even when I‘m someone who would sa „okay, then chop it off, no problem for me“), but it will grow again, it takes just longer… Still better than an awful cut I would say.
I recently went to a new stylist to get a similar balayage done and ended up with highlights...It would have been ok if she had listened to where I wanted the color to start, but she took them so close to my roots. Then, she charged me $50 extra to "smudge" the color so it would "blend" with my natural ash brown hair, but the smudge toner turned the area brassy. She did manage to tone the ends ashy like I wanted, but overall it just looked a bit odd. I've since washed my hair a few times and its settled down, but its still not what I was after and I'm considering my options going forward. She is great at cutting hair, but coloring clearly isn't her strong suit. I'll be sure to seek out a seasoned pro next time I attempt coloring my hair...
Unfortunately this cutting too much of my hair without consent has happened more times than a happy haircut. I have a hair stylist now who doesn’t cut more than I say or more than she shows me and I’ve been going to her for years now. Before that I had had wanted 3 inches off my waist long hair and got a cut to shoulder length before I even knew what was happening! I didn’t go to a hair salon for 6 years and was cutting my own hair at home because I would have rather had not perfect hair than short hair constantly from every time them not listening to me. It makes me so angry ! I do NOT understand they’re attitude on wanting to chop off long hair. It’s like they’re mad you have long hair. I don’t like going to the salon at all. And everyone who does perfect hair on Instagram and TH-cam I feel doesn’t actually work in the industry they just make videos or something and all the hairdressers around in salons hardly have any talent. If someone can do better hair at home than a average hairdresser they need to go back to school or there’s a serious problem that schools are not testing these peoples skills before they’re certified. Idk but it makes me very upset.
I agree, I have had some horrendous hair experiences too.
When you took out the color chart and explained what's light brown and what's dark brown, I remembered a moment I had with a friend. "Look at the girl with the black hair, she's so pretty!", and I was like "what girl? there is no girl with black hair!", and he was like "well that girl over there with that green shirt", and I was like "oh, yah, that girl with the light brown hair, right there? yah, she really is pretty.", people keep thinking I do have brown hair too (naturally) and ask me how I get my hair white blonde so easily. Well, my hair naturally is medium ash blonde, not brown... (maybe leaning towards dark ash blonde in certain areas, but certainly not brown) that isn't that hard to lift to a level ten. But it is hard to explain to people who have never been in touch with hair coloring theory without sounding like a complete nerd to them.
I went to a new stylist and showed him a photo of a haircut I wanted, he said absolutely not, he followed up with my hair type is very different from the girl in the photo as well as my face shape. He gave me a few suggestions and I was thankful.
I can't believe the cosmetologist that cut her hair has a license 😳

It looks like this hurt hb so bad it made his ears itch
It does take a long time to find a good hairdresser/stylist I had to go to alot of different salons to find mine but it was definitely worth it 💖 thankyou for another wonderful video sending love and light to you and your family 💖 always
Once I went to a salon in West London where they claimed to have an extensive celebrity clientelle for over 10 years. I asked for a perm (curling) which I got. For 2 hours! I went back and showed them my hair was straight again and I wanted a refund. They offered to give me treatment. I said, no thanks, I want a refund. Which I eventually got. I paid for a perm, I got a temp 😂 I was soooo annoyed.
You know it's bad when you're wide eyed and mouth is open and saying "Noooo!" at the exact same time 😂 😂 Great info H.B.!! Thank you 💖
Hair.. a fickle Mistress.
Mr. Hair Buddha, to be honest with You, once someone has a bad situation happen at a salon this becomes the reason for Box Dye and Do-It-Oneself failures that become commentary fodder.
When the wrong stylist makes a mistake it literally cuts the clientele out altogether. As a result of this gentleman some will dye and style their own hair.. and that is the true sorrow.
It appears that I am not the only woman to find myself eked out of the salon as an older client.
We Love You.
Open a school.
(Laughing gently)❤
I've had nightmare haircuts. One time I asked for a trim, and told the hairdresser not to make the top too short because my hair is thin and see through. So what did I get? A mullet. No kidding. It took a year to grow out. Now I trim it myself.
It's styled hair. It looks so good on her I love the cut. Even though the highlights aren't amazingly well done. It looks a lot better than what she started out with! I think her hair looks great!
I nearly freaked out when the stylist began cutting!!!! BUT the client should have been SPECIFIC about how much she wanted cut off. My stylist asks me at every appointment “so, how much do you want trimmed/cut today?” If I say “just say hello to the ends with the scissors” she knows exactly what I mean. If I say “let’s cut it!” She’ll show me what 2” or 3” or 4” will be, indicating to me what the length will be. Then we decide.
Amazing content as aLways...thank hair budda for the upload ...keep up the great work your videos make my day 😊
If I was at this hairdresser I would be yelling at him because he's not doing a proper job and he's very rough with his handling and he's not really listening to her. I would scream at him to stop and then re-explain to him exactly what I came in for. And if he wasn't going to follow through with what I wanted to do then I would ask for a different hairdresser to finish up what he started
Your experience/explanation is so precise...to the viewers and that’s how it has to be with the clients ,during the consultation exactly too.well done sir👏. What I’d really like to see is the color correction video.
I’m not a hairdresser but I think her hair looks so good! Ok going to amend this statement. Now that she’s showing her hair with no curls . Wow. Chopped.
The first and last time I cut my hair, I was in Jr. High and I tried to trim my bangs. Yeah, that didn't come out that well, but my hair grows fast thankfully. Videos like this remind me why it's so important to build a relationship with your hair stylist, be consistent, and discuss what you can or cannot do. Besides her color not coming out correctly, the cut alone looks pretty choppy. I wonder if she researched the technique itself or did she just find a picture of what she wanted the outcome to look like?
Sometimes it's the salon and sometimes it's the client,but he had good reviews,but her hair was better before he tried to fix it, I think he used less care as she used a coupon,a lot of hairdresser resent having to take coupons for more expensive and time consuming processes.
Well, I thought I had dark brown hair all this time. Never too old to learn!
Yes I always assumed I had dark brown hair too and I have medium brown hair. When I went to have my hair bleached platinum blonde, it went to very lite yellow fast. Well I did go to the salon with long virgin hair that wasn’t dyed in 8 years. The hairdresser gave me a beautiful cool toned blonde . I loved it. Years later, to maintain it, i decided to not have the roots bleached anymore, but rather just highlites so as it grows out it will just blend in as heavy blond highlites. And my scalp won’t be destroyed. Bleaching your roots every 6-8 weeks is very bad coz bleach get absorbed into your body and you can get cancer. I didn’t care at first. I was young and healthy and didn’t have any family history of cancer. So I kept having my hair bleached for 6 yrs straight. Every 6 weeks. At about the 6 year mark I reluctantly went to my Gyn appt and u can guess where I’m going with this.
He found a lump in my left breast. It was cancer. Now I hate going to doctors. I have not gone to see my gyn in about 6 yrs. I only went because my husband felt it too. I don’t play with my own boobs so I never would have found it. So after he harassed me into going, I FINALLY gave in and went. I had to take a day off . So the gyn referred me to one of NYC best breast cancer surgeons . We went and she had me do several biopsies on both breasts. But only my left had cancer. She told me it’s been caught pretty early but IF I left it alone and waited 6 more years, Id be dead. She then scheduled me for surgery and was able to give me a lumpectomy so I don’t lose my entire breast. My husband was there and he asked the surgeon to remove both of my breasts just in case so the cancer doesn’t come back, oh and he added, while you’re there give her big breast implants. Lol
I was originally a 36B. So he wanted me to be a D Cup. I never knew he wasn’t happy with my size . 😢
But the surgeon told him she is not performing unnecessary surgery. She said “Do u even realize what you’re asking, the huge trauma you want to put your wife under? She would have to endure two separate surgeries, she will be in excruciating pain after and the implants may cause her life long problems. And there is no guarantee that the cancer will not come back and be in her breast bone”. He was shocked that she spoke to him like that. Obviously I said NO IMPLANTS. I’ll explain why later with my sisters story. Anyway so she cut a tiny spot under my arm and cut out the cancer and sewed me back. Now it’s a few yrs later and you can’t even see the scar. But my left breast is a lil smaller than my right breast. You can only really tell if I’m not wearing a bra and the top is very tight. But wearing a bra. You can’t tell. To have saved my life, it was worth it. And you know what, yea I honestly would like to have C cup boobs, perfect for my short 5’ tall frame. But I have seen my younger sister struggle for 20 years with her breast implants and they ruptured on her during a rough sex encounter with her boyfriend. It leaked so bad causing her autoimmune disease and she was so sick for many years. She could not afford to have her implants removed. Insurance didn’t cover it. One night while driving for UBER, a drunk driver hit her head on and she was severely hurt. She had broken ribs an arm and fingers and her face was smashed . She got about half a million settlement. I think she deserves millions coz she can never work now. But it’s capped at a million now. Our corrupt politicians who are paid off by insurance companies have enacted a law saying u can’t sue for more than a mil. Even if there are 4 ppl in the car and all suffer in the accident and can’t ever work, that million gets divided by all 4 with the worst one hurt getting the most money. So then the lawyer takes 30% and what’s left is very lil money . So my sister got the most she could get. After lawyer fees, she got $300,000. Which was enough for her to remove both her horrible implants . Some of her implants have fused to her ribs and the surgeon had to shave some ribs off . She was in pain for months and had to go to physical rehabilitation for years. Her removing her implants cured her autoimmune disease as well as others serious health problems. She bought a small condo in Florida. She’s resting coz she can’t work. Her broken hands and fingers never healed right and after many surgeries , it’s the best they could do. She can’t drive, she’s in pain a lot. Every day. My heart breaks for my only sister. She belongs to many breast implant groups and most ppl have no idea just how many women(men too) regret having implants done. And they’re stuck with them. Many women have serious immune problems because of implants, not just breast problems . Women and men who claim to have had no problems are either lying(many do) or they haven’t had anything happen YET. Or they just don’t know. Coz like me they don’t go to their Dr and Gynecologist yearly . They will all regret it,…please protect your hands and fingers as well as feet and toes, from accidents. They are extremely hard to fix and most ppl don’t heal right and are in pain for ever. Use your arm to protect your face while also protecting hand and fingers. But like my sister said “nobody remember to do all that in a quick accident” most ppl react badly . Thanks for reading .
Omg THANK YOH FOR SHOWING THAT HAIR BOOK!!!! 🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯
I always love your explanations. So helpful! I’m also glad to know that I was right when I told my best friend she had blonde hair - she claims it’s brown but it’s even lighter than the dark ash blonde!
My mom is a retired hairstylist for health reasons so she doesn't do her hair anymore, she became a hairstylist bcs of these people that screwed her hair a lot of times and I remember this REALLY memorable time after having me she starting to care for herself again, grew her hair beautifully till hips and decided to get it trimmed and straightened...the woman CUT her hair up to neck in one go, fried her hair asked a lot $ for all this horrible things and had the audacity of keeping her hair to SELL!! My mom cried for weeks and stayed with a really low self-esteem for a long time. Since then she gave the cutting and trimming her hair power in my 7/8 yo at the time hands...she's happy with the results most of the time tho thank God
Yes I learned! Have a measurements already planned, including how high I want balayage to come up. Maybe have a string with knots representing those lengths. I probably have light med 🤎 with a lot of grey and natural red highlights. I could wish the greys were a bit less localized right above my ears 😏 but I am dramatic enough to flaunt them. So we suit well enough. Always a jammin' time learning from you. Be well! 😘💕
Reason l do not trust hairdressers, in the 80s and 90s of perms and tips, apprentices left to do hair on busy Saturday, not listening to you about length etc.. done my own hair for years and only person l can blame is me..that's why l watch these kind of videos to see correct methods and experiment
The biggest issue clients/hairstylists have, is lack of communication and a vast difference in knowledge. My mom is a stylist, and I've learned to ask for 1 inch because I know she'll take 2. And when it comes to colour; looking at the colour charts and asking questions. I have dark blonde hair. (With quite a bit of grey now). I also have red undertones, which are undetectable with the naked eye. Anything golden will go yellow 💛 or orange 🧡 or red ❤.
Communication is key. Schedule an extra 15 minutes for discussion, if your going for something different than your usual. 😉
I literally gasped when she turned around after the second trip to the salon and showed the back of her head. Oh my goodness...
Natural hair colour is so beautiful 😻
I'm not saying this happened in this case. I have personally seen a hairdresser not give the best cut or style to a client bc they were upset. That cut is something that wouldn't be seen in cosmo school.
