Why are they unprofessional? Because most aren’t licensed. The chisme is nice though, so here we are 😂
Exactly 💯‼️
I’m loving these long videos❤️❤️
😊😊@@Afrocentric_Exotical_24
in lr you only have to have running hot water
It reminds me of a post I saw that said needing a liscence to be a hairstylist and do it for others is anti black
Which. Considering all the horror stories out there...
Unpopular opinion, your hobby DOESN'T have to be a hustle or career and that's okay.
For sure
If you don’t want the ghetto experience, quit booking an appointment with a ghetto salon or address. Do your research first!
Naw that's fact
My motto is that once you start making money on it that's not a hobby anymore; it's a job.
It's a hustle and career because they don't want to work a 9-5. Or can't with them trifling attitudes
I think black hairstylists act this way because they KNOW just how important our hair is to us AND they know we cant really go anywhere "else". I find it sad that this is just about the only service where we ACTUALLY keep our dollars in the community......yet this is how we're treated for it. 🤦🏿♀️
That’s a good point and so true!
Also, a lot are not in it for the passion and the love of doing hair. Most are following the social media hype of being an entrepreneur.
I think unfortunately a lot of black ppl have underlying bias towards “black businesses ” and “black customers”. I work at a gallery at a predominantly white space but often when black customers come in and they see me, they get real comfortable and start complaining about prices out loud, start speaking badly about merchandise etc. same thing w black business that believe they don’t have to excel in their services when it comes to black customers. It’s unfortunate, it’s almost like we (not you or me but you know the collective) feel a level of superiority and entitlement towards each other that I’m not exactly sure where it comes from.
My thing is as long as my car can drive with no issues I will by pass the attitudes and go somewhere where my money will be appreciated. The person ain’t gotta be like that and if their reason is because someone else has a Tude then they need to refuse service to that person. The salon should be a relaxing place for us and remember letting someone in your head with that type of spirit can transfer to you. Can’t have everyone in your head.
I had to learn to braid my own hair because I might be in jail or in a grave booking with some of these people
My red flag 🚩 is when they don’t wash hair 😂 you gotta come washed, blow dried and pressed and help braid 😂
Help braid is insane 😂😂
I knew my sister was a scammer!😂😂
Absolutely. I went to The Aveda institute of cosmetology and we were taught that a shampoo is ALWAYS apart of the service. I don’t understand these new heffas doing hair 🥴
@@gg9669 EXACTLY smh this new age is just lazy
A licensed braider isn't the same thing as a cosmetologist, one does not require a shampoo.
Nah nobody should be a hairstylist if they don't prioritize time that so unprofessional and nobody has time for nonsense like that
💯💯💯
Exactly 💯. Their time is valuable, but so is ours! If I book a specific time, that's the time I have chiseled out specifically for your services. Cancel too many times, I drop you. Period. I can move on.
I've experienced this same thing. Time is money and money is time, don't waste mine. I had an appointment with a hairdresser who I waited over an hour for. I had to wait for her to eat as well as move from different clients. I promised from that day forward, I'd do my own hair. Take your business and clients seriously.
I swear it kinda feels like they’re treating clients like family members, like hear me out: a family member might be a little more ok with you being like “oh I gotta go for a bit could you wait a sec?” and leaving them in your home for a sec to pick up your kid from school or something. Or they might be ok with bringing their own hair or washing their own hair bc you’re just doing them a favor, especially if you’re just braiding a family member’s hair for free or something bc yea, duh, they’re family. But that’s exactly why this type of service wrong: this isn’t family, this is a stranger who just paid you for a *professional* service. There needs to be a boundary there. Sometimes, trying to cut costs by going to the cheaper option will cost you more in the long run
I feel a lot of these people start out just working on friends and family and think they can then treat clients that way too.
They need to learn the boundaries needed with clients, these people aren’t your friends or family
😂
Tbh, that’s what I expect when I go to someone who isn’t liscensed.
You nailed it wuth the Boundary issue. I feel and believe that is most of societies problem.
@@mjg-98that’s because they just learned the skill of doing hair. They didn’t learn the skills of running a business.
Wig Maker here! Never pay through cash app, Zelle or any other platform that won’t refund your money if you get scammed. No booking site = red flags. It’s $6 a month for a basic booking site and if sis doesn’t take herself seriously enough to pay $6, you shouldn’t take her serious either. Pay a deposit but never pay in full up front. And if she has EVERY day available. Red flag, she’s spreading herself thin and will probably cancel on you once she realizes she would rather have a day off.
I’ve gotten a refund but it’s because my bank is military and they won’t stand by my stupid self getting scammed
Yup! I was new to the wig game and got scammed on IG. I contacted the FBI over my $425 I paid through zelle. They told me to contact the local police, and they worked on it and I had a court date. The scammer gave me back my $425 in cash! 🤗🤗🤗🤗. But lesson learned. Paying through money apps is considered authorized. It's literally for people you really know!
@@Parisroam 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
Even if she has a booking site, some stylist charge the client a “site/booking fee/processing” fee that doesn’t go towards the service.
Smh, it’s sad 😔
@@kamribriana9410 it is sad! This is the one industry that we still somewhat control, and look how they do? Smh. Getting your hair done is so intimate too. And look how they're doing their clients?
Black hair stylist from the 90s were not only professional but they actually cared about their clients this younger generation is so sad all they care about is quote getting to the bag
You are correct
@@KyleArias-m1p I’m over that quote getting the bag, it’s destroyed our community, no value for anything, anything for money, we need professional services for our hair and being respectful should be bare minimum, I will not spend money to be disappointed!
Yes! I’m still getting my hair done by the stylist who had done my hair for my senior prom, I’m 44 now 🤷🏽♀️
@@KyleArias-m1p and Tik tokkin somebody’s head and making fun of them. I wish a witch would 😮💨🤬
At the same time, that's all they really have now. They don't have the time for "passions". They need to get in where they can fit in.
That male stylist. If i was going to him for anything hair related, as soon as i saw those edges, and hair situation, i would have noped out of there so fast. 🤣🤣🤣
Don't overwork yourself, make sure you are put together and are not overworked.
I totally agree!😂
Hair stylists hardly ever care how their hair looks. I'm guilty.
Which makes the "Sundays are my off days where I choose not to do a thing" that much worse bc... maybe do your hair then that day?
@@ElvinaLSmith I will say that a lot of people have said that a stylist's hair is meant to be a sign of how well they'll do your hair, but that's really not been the case in my experience. There have been many a stylist who didn't have very well looked after, highly styled hair who did a beautiful job on my hair.
@@thecavalieryouth I agree wholeheartedly. They're too busy styling others. Lol! Plus, they know when they're ready, they can do it. No pressure. No money needed.
I went to a high-end salon where a colorist put bleach on my hair and wandered off for TWO HOURS. She came back and had the gall to ask ME if I thought it was done. I learned to bleach and dye my own hair after that.
😮😮😮😮😮
yup seen this, I worked for a salon where I saw heads being fried every day from bleach because the boss felt she knew it all and wouldn't take advice from other hairdressers, they always want to target the home salons but ive seen disasters happen in supposed "professional settings" too
A professional hasn’t touched my hair since I was 17 and I’m 25 lol I don’t trust people
That is truly insane.
Same thing has happened to me I got
My hair colored she over processed my hair and when I told her it was the wrong color she got mad at me and then when she went to fix it she left me with my scalp burning and now my hair is color damages I swear she did that on purpose
Three women were made to feel uncomfortable by one woman? All she did was open the door. I applaud her for leaving.
If they're freaked out about somebody opening the door, maybe lock the door and prompt people to knock. This shit is crazy!
Those some were adult bullies. They just got off on intimidating new clients. First she couldn’t come up until *exactly* 4:30. Then it’s a problem that she didn’t knock when she texted 5 minutes before (?). Nah. They just like making people uncomfortable.
if they don’t do washes, blowouts, trims, colorings, presses, and braid downs they are NOT professionals. Some of these services don’t apply to people who do locs and braids ONLY, but the point still stands.
Yes. I look for the services they offer too. Rinses only & no chemical services .. I know u not licensed!!!
@@thebarbieinvestor5428That doesn’t mean that every time. Because every state has different laws for braiders/ stylists that are licensed.
I'm literally learning to braid my own hair as I watch this because once I master it my worries will be gone (I already know how to do my own makeup and nails) 😅👀
The best way to go
I feel this and I'm not even African American! I'm getting my hair dyed next week because I don't trust myself with my hair, but my nail lady is going to give me a class on how to do my own nails so that I can save money and do my own sets! I'll go to her for pedicures bc they're hard for me to do but for man's, DIY lol 😂❤
Crochet braids are easy, and they'll save your time and money. I learned how to do it on TH-cam a couple of years back, and now have no need for stylists and salons. 👍🏽
I need to learn to know my nails.
From the second clip... not only was his wig weird, but it also looked like "somebody" went to Atlanta to see a veneer tech... Whoo chile, lol.
😂😂😂😂
Ooop I didn’t even peep that 😭😭😭
Toilet bowl white teeth 😂😂😂
I gotta go back and look
@@ieshiaaa now I gotta go rewatch 🏃🏽♀️ 💨
I'm with the other girl in the video if you don't name drop why complain about it...WHY. I would want to know about this person/business so I don't end up going to that same person or business especially if that is how they do new clients.
Tell me, if you were dropping your kids off at a daycare, would you feel comfortable living them at some random person house who doesn't communicate and has an attitude? How about a doctor? You need surgery, and they talk about beating you up when you walk in for your appointment and mad you open the door 'wrong'.
What about buying a car and it's in a sketchy area? Would you just continue business then?
If you wouldn't take unprofessionalism from other businesses, why allow that with hairstylist?
there's a breed of braiders that have an issue with pretty women....some braiders think the client "thinks they're better than them" or they have insecurities to where they don't like the client just because they have "healthy pretty hair" or they're just pretty in general. They treat you differently, more mean to you, talk about you. If you talk proper they will call you white all behind your back. they will do your hair and take your money. It's reverse bullying and it's happened to me to where I only will have ONE braider from now on lol
I 110% understand. And those types of client HATES to see a woman with long hair, not because it’ll take more time, because they’re jealous.
@@BusiswaG exactly and i don't trust it! it's a sad case that women can be another woman's worst enemy and women like us just want to get along lol
👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
Oh this is what it is. I have experienced this. 😔
So they are definitely not jealous of you
No professionalism, no courtesy-no business and no $$$. People out here now have such low standards! These GHETTO stylists will be BROKE stylists. Why are we normalizing mistreatment/abuse?!
Because we've BEEN normalizing it.
This is simply how we treat each other.
People were more professional in the past, but there were still plenty of bad apples then in salons and at home.
I got to the point where I went to Dominican salons.
Because too many Black women have been taught that having their hair done is more important than being treated well.
@@petagriftinthis is why!!
@@petagriftinthe saying goes beauty is pain. And women, especially black women, literally go through the worse treatment for beauty and told not to complain
Abuse? Just don’t go 😂😂😂
He lost me at $500 because no sir.
Yeah because like who do he think he is… talkin bout some $500, and with his hair looking like that? That man is crazy 😜
$500 for loc extensions is cheap especially depending on the market. I live in a larger city and the salon I worked at we charged $600 for the install and hair was separate.
Right $ 500 for what
Thank you!! Frfr@@barbie6695
I’m more turned off about the timeframe. I got to book a month in advance?
loved hearing that girl affirm that them talking weird about queer people was a red flag. to me it always is bc if you're overly concerned about someone's personal life then something must be up with you...
Yeah, my hairdresser was doing my hair once and one of their workers just randomly started talking shit about gay people. I was like, what? I'm bi and I don't wanna listen to such things about my own community while getting my hair done.
@princessmiaxooh honey they’re in the suburbs too!! A buncha weirdos! I had a stylist that I went to since I was 16. I stopped going when I was 24 and she started talking all this mess about the lgbtq community. I had NO IDEA she was a bigot like that. She was spiritual and shit and even had an altar. Never went back again... Idc if ur Black cus if ur bigoted I’m not supporting u. 🙄
I'm not really superstitious, but I believe that the hair on our heads holds a lot of energy. Having someone style/wash/braid/put their hands in my hair is a very intimate thing for me. When I let a rude, irritable, unprofessional, mean stylist touch my hair, I feel violated. It may sound like an exaggeration, but my hair sheds or breaks more when a stylist I'm not happy with does my hair. When I'm in good hands, it thrives. For over a month, I've contemplated investing in my own hair products and doing my hair at home. I just need the time and energy. But I'm tired of leaving my healthy hair in the hands of these stylists and having them ruin it. I've been seeing one braider for years, but when she's not available and I let others wash/braid my hair, it dries out like crazy and my scalp gets irritated.
I had a similar experience, my hair didn’t fall out or anything but I didn’t feel like it received the love it needed. Now I do my own hair and it’s great. My mother too, ever since I’ve been doing her hair it’s been healthier and grows so fast.
I would say go to your one braider. If she’s not available, you may have to start washing/braiding yourself in the meantime (I know it’s time consuming 😭).
No exaggeration at all! You’re absolutely right! People need to realize this.
@BusiswaG You're right. This is probably my sign to do my own hair.
My arms cramp up when I'm taking out my braids and detangling my roots. Can't imagine how much effort it takes for the girlies who braid their own hair. But I'm determined🤣
@PreppyPrincess777 Glad I wasn't being paranoid 🤣 I just always had that feeling. Plus I've got a tender scalp, so I KNOW when a braider is having a bad day 'cause it hurts so bad
Yeah there does seem to be something to hair picking up on and holding energy. I've gotten irritable, even had breakdowns in public, where I didn't feel like me. In fact much of my motivation for social media use has been to figure out thru these commentary videos, wtf is going on with people 😂 it's like I see some shenanigans in a video and then I realize, ohhhhhhh that's what THAT was
That woman interviewing the male stylist……I lost it when she flashed those fake veneers! 😂🤣
Omg i had to go back and look😂😂😂😂😂
I listen to these videos like a podcast so when I see these comments I know I have to go back and look 😂
The veiled threats and homophobia is wooooooooooow. I’m glad she got out of there! I’m sorry to say that the hairstylist is a terrible, homophobic person. Sad when our sisters are stereotypes, they need God.
💯
For real. Morals out the window
They need a training course on treating others respectfully with kindness
I would’ve went off
No one has to agree with that lifestyle, but it was unfortunate she has unprofessional behaviors.
The sharpie on the door wasn’t enough of a red flag?! Chilleeee the way I would’ve put my vehicle in reverse and hightailed it back home. Sorry but I’ll learn how to do my own stuff and find the time to do it. Cuz girl what? 😭
Right 😂😂😂 she knew from the beginning something was off though but still continued
@@akshakur3962 I ain’t above throwing a wig on my head until I can find a good reliable hair stylist 😂
Omg that story was terrifying. The fact that they’d talk about assaulting someone who walked in without knocking right in front of that woman was insane 💀 ugh. They sounded like next level unprofessional
she went thru it for views. she said shes a stylist. many of these "worst reviewed stylist, worst reviewed make up artist" chicks are struggling stylists and mua's too yet for attention they pick on the "worst reviewed" fellow entrepreneur, and then rant in a storytime and them promo their own business. ick.
Ffr 😂 I know she said it was “hood adjacent” and I’m from Chicago too so I get it, but you can go down the street to Walmart and buy some address numbers to tack up there if you need to…sharpie?? This isn’t your sack lunch on field trip day this is your place of business girl 😂
As a Detroit native, I can't stand every single stylist I've ever been to. It's really sad how unprofessional they act
Yeah. I live just outside of Detroit. Between Detroit and Ypsilanti, I’ve given up on stylists here. I even have a bald spot now smh. I just can’t… especially with these Detroit braiders. A coworker recommended her girlfriend in Lansing but I just can’t.
@@kaylean39 awe I hate to hear that. Yeah me too girl😮💨 one time I went to get my hair braided while I was eight months pregnant. The lady had me waiting for two hours while she finished the girl before me and took over 12 hours to do my hair and mind you I got medium-sized braids, after that I never got my hair braided in Michigan again I just started doing it myself lol
Tbh. I think its a culture thing. At some point many of us need to address how disgusting many of us are. And its def cultural because ive seen plenty of bp say talking to others polite is “respectability politics” or “i keep it real i aint finna fake the funk for no one” and its comical cause its like, nasty attitudes stunt your growth. Being kind and professional is always best. Even if it is a mask you are wearing.
No, they’re not trying to avoid Uncle Sam. Uncle Sam can see that they have continual income through their cash app. THEYRE. NOT. LISCENCED.
Uncle Sam can’t see cash
@BusiswaG but if they want a bank account or buy a car or house/get an apartment they need proof of income
They're still avoiding taxes and they're not licensed. Unless you get flagged for an audit in the first place, Uncle Sam is not going through your cash app and they can't really track cash.
@elizabeths.1888 actually I got 3 cashapps canceled because i was getting too much money. Now i can't put my information in or the delete my account
@@BusiswaG I guess they can’t see cash, but I said cashapp. Contrary to the name, it is not actual cash. It’s a paper trail
My favorite natural haircare professional is bald. He knows how to grow and maintain his hair, of course, but being bald gives him more time for clients.
Is it Afrikan hair god?
@@yougotgamesonyourphone6947 100% Narada!
Now that's a professional with priorities👍
@@yougotgamesonyourphone6947 it’s 100% Narada! Most of the tips that helped the health of my hair before I started locs were from him.

Only in America do hair stylists be charging $300-1000 for braiding hair. Lord…
What does your country charge? I’m curious might have to move!!😅
@@madisonrembert202470-200€ at most in Germany
glad i only pay 130 when i get my braids done😭 over 250 for braids is insane
In Switzerland it's 100-200... In UK, at least in cheaper salons/smaller cities it's half the damn price of that... No idea if say in London it's just as insanely priced.
@@nortluca Sometimes I get it because living in America and especially in certain areas there’s higher living than others, but what kills me they don’t even do what they should include in the braiding (shampoo, blow dry,etc.) and these nasty attitudes omg so not worth paying more than 100-200 something off that
girl you don’t know how happy i am you’re making a part two, cause i’ve been feining for bad hairstylist stories since i first saw your vid😻😭
This is why I just do my own hair.
That part 👏🏾👏🏾
on god. $60 and a few days 🤣👍🏾
This has really elevated my respect for black woman and what they go through just to get their hair done. The time, the pain, the money, the people you can encounter, and the resources, and effort overall. I have the privilege of just going to a salon and getting it cut.
If we all stop giving our money to the unprofessional people, then it will get better. Hit the pockets. That's the only way some people learn.
That only works in theory.When in practice, someone's going to go for that cheap deal, and they're going to take it no matter how s***** the service is, so that business is still going to stay
not girliepop getting an attitude over a customer having bodily functions so aggressively that bestie has to rush her business 💀
The thing that bothers me is if we’re late, we get charged. If the stylist is late, we don’t get no type of discount…make it make sense. My time is precious too.
There is something missing in our community. We need to take red flags into consideration, learn how to speak well, communicate better, and stop smiling in each other face when something really is wrong. Also stop chasing that hustler mentality, thats corporate America, that was never for our spirit....
agreed except the last part- hustler mentality is fine if you have professionalism. some people have ambitious spirit and can bite off a lot and handle it, but that is rare and people should know what they can handle!
Corporate America isn't your problem. That's just an excuse.
@@laer.393 im talking about just focusing on money and being a hustla all day long and always trying to be a brand. That's not for anyone's spirit.
@@kathyflorcruz552 Nah. I'm saying there's no need for us to keep trying to live like a company. Trying to brand ourselves and always trying to make money off everything. Calm down with the excuse bullshit too.
I do my own hair after cutting it off two years ago and it still takes 4 hours to do, and I only do two strand twist. Like the energy it takes to fucking do your hair is insane especially when you work the rest of the week. Which is why I hate when hairdressers stay “Do your own hair.” As a counter argument cause not only is it a bad argument but like you know damn well if I came to someone to do my hair I do not have the know how or skill. So I came to a “professional.” I found a solution. It’s not my fault they can’t do their job.
My problem with this argument is that some of us literally CAN'T do our own hair.
I'm a disabled person with a head full of natural hair. I can maintain it and do basic styles. I can even blow it out from time to time because I rarely put heat on my head.
But anything over an hour or hour and a half I simply can NOT do. That means no twists, no plaits, and nothing with extensions. An I don't know how to cornrow.
For people like me it just is what it is.
We need the help. We need the service.
I live in South Africa and unfortunately some of the black hairstylists here can be really unprofessional. I once went to a salon where my appointment was booked for 09:30 and the hairstylist only came in 2 hours later. She didn’t take her business seriously and stopped going to that salon. I now go to a salon where the hairstylists are much more professional
What are the prices in South Africa I was told that it’s cheaper than the USA?
It kind of depends on where you go but I think it would be cheaper for you since like $1 is 18 rands so like coming with $100 would be close to 1800 rands which is more than what you need for most braided hairstyles
@yolanda007 if you live there, they’re not, bad depending on the area. If you’re from the USA visiting, they’re going to be extremely cheap. Where I was from they go from $15 box braids to maybe $50 lace front wig install. But that’s because the dollar is stronger.
@@BusiswaG I’m shocked really good prices in South Africa.
Good prices but often bad service. I have a deep fear of hairdressers here because of the pain I experienced as a kid. The bullying, the eating while doing your hair, the toxic products. Its all so unprofessional and I am no longer willing to pay over R200 for braids that will only sit on my head for 4 weeks👎
I used to get anxiety going to black hairstylists. In general they dont treat their trade as a business.
Would y'all stop boxing all stylist together based off the ones you know SMFH, it's bad enough other races stereotype us and judge us based on others actions. You sound so stupid claiming anxiety as if you've dealt with ALL Black stylists in the dam world! Do DF Better!
Well, if they don’t treat it like a business, then don’t support them. Simple.
Honestly I feel the same way unfortunately & I’m a black woman. Thats why I switched to wearing wigs cause I didn’t want to deal with black stylists anymore. I’ve literally only had one in my life that I loved, the other one’s energy was soooo terrible.
@@GentlemensWellnessMassage I only had one competent black hair stylist that was professional when I was in my preteens.
“The deal was not dealing but I still decided to book with her”. Then you got what you GOT 🤷🏾♀️
Girl you never fail to make me interested as hellll, I love ur vids
I appreciate you 🤍
Ikr!!
I live in Texas and it took me a while to find someone I really like. She calls to confirm appointments . I send pictures for what I want.If she is a few minutes late she still takes time to do my hair without rushing. She apologized all over herself. She will purchase hair from a vendor she uses all of the time and trust. I never have to search for hair. Since I have very fine hair she explained what kind of products she uses. If I have any problems she will see me right away without charge I trust her and now I don’t have to shop around anymore. I have had bad experiences here in San Antonio but I am glad I found her. She owns the shop and have different stylists who specialize in their styles. Like color and other styles and they must attend on going education . She goes to shows and continue to learn new techniques thank you for sharing your information. Clean shops shampoo bowls and in general.Same with nails and pedicures shops. All of the stylists are very professional and cordial. I appreciate you. The prices are up but I knew going in the cost of each part of what I have requested. So thank you again sharing your information.
The way that I did in fact rewind to see the unit 😂
😂😂😂😂
There were so many red flags. It was an unprofessional attitude for me. I was a professional hairstylist for over 25 years,started real early, and have never been unprofessional
I’m mixed, so I don’t face the struggles that black women do, but I don’t trust hair stylists in general. White stylists make racial remarks about my hair texture and never cut my hair correctly nor let me leave with my natural curly hair. Black stylists have cut my real hair off while removing sew-ins and laughed about it while throwing it in the trash.
I went to cosmetology school, learned the basics, and now do my own hair. I’ve never disappointed myself. And if I’ve made mistakes doing my hair, I’ve shrugged them off, because they were my own fault and I make sure I have a backup plan if I’m trying something new
what do you mean mixed? there are mixed people with 4c hair and non-mixed people with type 3 and even 2 hair...also, since this is about unprofessional hair salons, its not racial. Any hair type can experience this, it's all over the world and internet all types of people crying about hair fails, so why mention race. Like at 38:10 she doesnt appear mixed yet has all that hair. I do think the stylists damaged it on purpose.
I'm white with ginger hair, I loveee growing it out long and then get a trim like once a year. Every single white stylist ive been too took my long hair and cut it into a bob when I only ask for two inches off. The only girl who hasnt done that to me was a beautiful mixed girl who specializes in curly hair (i went with my friend because she doesn't have her license) I find it nuts that it took me finding someone who doesn't even cater for my hair type to finally do it right
I'm waiting on clients to start reporting these bad stylists to the IRS.
Styling schools in my area are starting to teach different braiding techniques so that the home stylists can show they have certification.
i dont understand these stylist texting clients they gonna be hours late because they in traffic or because they need to make it to the beauty store , all errands should of been done day before your morning appointment, you should have known that there’s always traffic at 3 different times of the day
If your paying money for a service. You should get the best quality and service. Especially if your paying a deposit for that service. Hairstylists work in customer/beauty service. They provide a service at the end of the day.
30:18 This one is really heating me up!! Because why is the stylist so upset when she’s the one who wasted this girls time? Her attitude is disgusting. Yeah braids take a long time. But she kept stopping and leaving like bro do the job you’re being paid to do.
I don't necessarily think not having a website is a red flag if they have something like a styleseat account or lots of good reviews on Google. But only having an IG makes me give you the side eye. Bad communication however will have me canceling an appointment and losing a deposit.
7:43 their favorite excuse is always the tire or somebody in their family got into a car accident
What’s with the booking sites. I’m an OG. And my hair “care” dresser and braider are BOTH DOUBLE OG’s. So grateful for them!!! My great grandmother was a hair dresser and taught beauty school. All ( most) these new age “stylists “😒 would be SCOLDED by her. My aunt is ALSO a double OG which care for your hair down to your cells where she needs blood test from your physician if you’re having hair trouble. She is disGUSTED with these young folk👎🏾
I've done my own hair since the 90s but lately within the past year I've started going back to JCP Salon. Love it! When I did go to the salon in the 90s it was Walmart Salon and loved that too. Very professional.
My red flag is the terrible grammar and punctuation in their own advertising.
It just screams scam email.
I know people hate grammar n*zi's but when trying to look professional, that should be number one for a pseudo business.
100%
Absolutely! Even if you're not fluent in the given language you can ask literally anyone if your advertisement is grammatically correct or if it's comprehensible at all. It could be an fb group or a random stranger in a cafe 🙈
My daughter owns her own salon. She went to an 18mo stylist school, 2 years apprenticing, and a year chair rental in a top salon under supervision. She does amazing color/cuts.
I had no idea braid installations were that expensive. The deposit costs nearly as much as my rent. I guess here in South Africa, it's way cheaper because there are plenty more salons for textured hair.
Yea I miss Mzansi and the prices. Also, many South Africans come here and end up cutting their hair because of the crazy prices here. I still have mine because I can do it whenever I feel.
Shout out to the hair stylist who called out the other lady
I arrived late to my appointment for two French braids. I was washed, detangled and blowed dried straight. She charged me $30 dollar late for being 12 minutes late. Okay cool, fine. It is what is.
When I left the chair, my two braids looked 4 weeks old. The braids looked worse than the old braids I had taken out the night before. She used no product, the ONE part was uneven. I looked like an extra in the color purple. I was mad. Never again. The salon owner made it right though
I used to get my hair done. But I have experienced unprofessional stylist and stylist charging a mortgage. I started doing my own hair.
What has been the highest charge?
@@BusiswaG Good morning! Wow I can’t believe you responded ❤️ I love your channel you help me power through my workouts!
The most someone charged me for a sew in was $350 without hair included! Now I have never had a stylist like some of the videos you shown with clients being disrespected but I have been definitely over charged!
@@amarriglanton7845 Good morning ☀️ . You just reminded me, I need to be more consistent with the gym.
I’m glad you haven’t had crazier experiences but being overcharged still sucks!
@@BusiswaG you can do it! My husband and I welcomed our daughter almost a year ago! Her birthday is this Saturday.
With Jesus I lost 60 pounds in six months. It was such a struggle but how our lord said with him all things are possible❤️
lol yes ma’am losing that $350.00 put a fire under my behind to learn how to do my hair lol.
These ladies keep saying “I don’t want to say her name cause it’s not about that”
IT IS EXACTLY ABOUT THAT 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
😂😂😂😂😂
@@BusiswaGyou do know if they say the person’s name they could be sued for defamation of character. And some people don’t want the drama and backlash they could face for just telling the truth and some stylist are just psycho and will fight you themselves or have someone to find out where you live and fight you. So that’s why they don’t say the person’s name.
I told my hairstylist that I've been to over 10 salons. And she took her hands through my hair and said, "ohhh mami, I can see." That was 10 years ago. I'll admit it. I was at my wits end. But instead of turning me away, she gave me back my hair and confidence and never made me feel unwelcome. So some stylists can get annoyed by the clients but not all. So that sounds like she has a personal opinion.
Wow. I'm a nail tech. I'm all for professionals having boundaries, but this is insane. Do you know how many times I and my fellow techs have gotten our butts to the salon even when we aren't feeling well or problems happen? One reason I prefer working in a salon and not on my own is that I have the rest of the salon to help me if there is some issue I can't avoid. Someone else can always do prep work until I'm there or help me catch up if I am running late and vice versa. This bizarre focus on "owning a business" is half the problem. All beauty professionals are not fully trained after school ends, that is the just the beginning. Anyone who comes up in decent salons or barber shops learns from our peers and that is how we know what is and is not acceptable. How we learn proper care of a client both physically and business wise. When you just work alone as a newbie, you don't learn anything and it shows that you dont want to
I’m a white girl who knows nothing about braids but I love these videos 🍿 the dramaaaaaa 😂
Same! I'm an old white grandma and I can't believe what they have to go through.
Some people don’t feel comfortable putting someone name out there. Even if they a bad hairstylist, you never know who they gone send for you after you put they name out there. I’m not saying you should be afraid to speak out. But some people are just cautious about bringing potential violence to themselves.
I noticed every location was the hood
No frl like.... ion wanna stereotype but expect shit to get really fucking wild over there ion trust no hood salon .
Atlanta resident here!! Hate hearing so many tragic stories in ATL. Thankfully, I have a wonderful beauty crew from hairstylist,branders and MUA. Blessings to everyone!
Listen, it's a known thing stylists don't like doing women with long hair's heads. The minute she sent those pics , it was a wrap. She was going to give her the run around. Also, if you have long hair, just use your hair because people can't be trusted to not get scissor happy. If the stylist comes off like this or similar, definitely cancel the appointment immediately. I had to learn this the hard way. Now, I only do my hair unless I run into someone integral that knows how to do natural curly hair. Oh & some damage your head on purpose. Some are actually evil & jealous hearted. So don't ignore iffyness at all.
That first "hair stylist" hairbybritbrat or something had some very, very similar pictures as the "hair stylist" touchby_court....thats suspicious. I'm not even done watching the video but i had to point that out
Interesting observation
I thought I was tripping, noticed that as well
“Hairbybritbrat” lmfao 😂
I can’t stand the whole “policy” page that has become a thing. Most of the time the context seems unprofessional. It’s giving nit picky and arrogant. I can’t tell you how many times I’ve showed up to an appointment ON TIME and the stylist or nail tech or lash tech wasn’t ready. And I had to wait an hour or so. If I was to be late after 30 minutes it’s a “No call, no show” and they get to keep the full service amount. Some of their booking websites are set up that way. Late fees will automatically be added. You lose your deposit.
This is why I learned to do my own hair.. not only do I save money, but it’s done the way I like! No unprofessional stylists, no wasted time.. TH-cam university is your friend!
I moved to Illinois from Colorado and I was looking for a Barber and I the same thing happened to me as the lady with the black shirt.. I got scammed and the way they treated me was exactly the same.
That’s crazy! 🤦♀️
My hair is past my knees reason I don’t let no one touch my bed but my nana it’s a cultural thing since I been a baby she’s been braiding fixing curling my hair and eventually when my nana is gone my mom will take that spot but I have very healthy hair I have never put die on my head everytime I put my hair down everyone is in shock on how long and how thick my hair is because I don’t let anyone touch my head my hair is who I am might be shallow but it’s cultural it’s my bond between me my womanhood the women in my family
Finding a good braider on your first try must be like winning the lottery. Cant imagine going through all that to find a good one.
I have curly 3C hair. I wear it natural most of the time or straighten it myself whenever I feel like having a quick makeover with no full commitment process. My friends make it seem like I go through a lot for my hair. This is so much difficult than anything I've seen before. Much appreciation to actual pros that deliver a good service.
The way I was so excited because I was looking for something to watch while I wait for my hair to dry and I saw that you uploaded💗
Even if you refund the deposit, you’ve still had your time wasted with messaging in the DMs and travel, time that could’ve been spent with loved ones, getting a *professional* to do you hair, or doing whatever else you want to do. Time is money!
Biggest pet peeve is when someone tells a bad customer service storytime but blocks out the name or uses a fake name. The story is therefore useless & irrelevant.
I refuse to go to a hair stylist ever again.
I have had all the experiences possible. And the ones I liked had very high prices so that was a deal breaker for me. Because $250 for a relaxer, rinse, and a refresh cut for a pixie was crazy to me.
I did the big chop last year and now that it is long enough to braid, I just braid it to the back.And I will wear a wig.... It's the most healthy my scalp has ever been. I plan to keep braiding it and keeping it healthy this way. And then rocking a nice cute afro once it's at a fuller length. But I can't wait to let go of these wigssssss!
The black women in the 60s and 70s HAD IT RIGHT .
WE MADE THINGS COMPLICATED with all these "protective styles"
Hair is sacred you have to be careful who you let touch your hair.
13:36 THANK YOU!! I couldn’t figure out what was going on & thought it might be a new hairstyle or something 😂😂
Right?! 😂 That's a wild hairstyle
Also you have to be careful of jealous stylists because they will sabotage your hair by doing bad treatments or technique to damage your hair.
12:21 It’s giving veneer tech victim 🙈🙈
As a cosmetologist in the making stylists should not act like they’re an insanely important person acting like they should be treated like a 5 star hotel. It’s stupid to tell your clients to book A MONTH IN ADVANCE????? That is insane……
37:14 I know you can’t see me but I swear we locked eyes at the same time and made the same face that girl is a train wreck!😭
😂😂😂 I was NOT expecting her to talk about her present client 💀💀
@@BusiswaG I forgot she was even still there at first and when I realized she was I was like “oh my”!
I'm disabled. I have spina bifida among other things so I use the bathroom often, plus at the time of the story, I had a severe UTI. I used to go to a woman that could do what I wanted (trendy styles and "unnatural colors") but the last time I went to her, she legit got mad at me because I had to pee like 3 times. Granted I had to pee only once when I was in her chair! The other two times was when my friend was in her chair. We were there for like 6 hours. It's apparent that I'm disabled too. I walk with a crutch and the last time I used the bathroom, she was like 'You better not be going to my bathroom!' and when I hesitated, she just rolled her eyes. Couple that with how my hair was always slightly different than what I wanted and I was like this isn't worth it.
I also had one woman threaten to kick me out of her salon because I made a joke about crying because I'm really tender headed. I explained that I was tender headed and she said something about letting me brush through my hair first and I said "yeah, because I'm too old to cry in your chair" and laughed. She sneered and said "No, if I see tears then you can get out of my salon. I don't deal with that sh!t". I never went back to her.
Not me waching this before i go to sleep 😭
😂 😂 go to bed once you get tired though. The video will still be here when you wake up, trust me.
Who doesnt love a cuppa hot tea before bed?
Same
I show them the way my hair is parted at that moment or a picture of my hair so they can see the way I would like it parted. It’s terrible that she didn’t communicate with her client about that. It doesn’t matter if someone is 4 mins late, no excuse for a crappy tude!
Exactly!!!
I don’t even want braids at this point
😂😂😂
As a girl with 4c hair that is thick I have a hard time finding stylist and the rules on their booking website around my hair texture like after I wash and blow dry I also need to flat iron my hair ( which I don’t want to flat iron my hair because I’m trying to useless heat to style my hair which is the point of me going to these stylist for protective hair styles) and with stylist in my city I have to get and find the hair on top of paying up to 200+ for box’s braids that don’t even last long like I need it to and makes me anxious even book with these people because I have to do 90% of the work to get my hair done just to be disappointed by the customer service and the service it’s self, the back breaking work I had to do the night before for the service just for me to be upset and I swear when I was little girl sitting in the kitchen with my mom doing my hair giving the same French braids every day for school Has given me a better service then all the stylist I’ve had in my life time and I’m 19 turning 20. At this point these new stylists are useless to me unless I need service that only a professional can give me which none of them are. Till these stylist take a business class and go to cosmetology school I have put the fate of my hair in my own hands and with the tool that is TH-cam and my eagerness to learn I think I’m good on these “ stylist”.
I was the tight 4c hair and I just took my time and learned how to braid and style my hair. It’s cheaper and you can make your own time to do it
Thanks!
Aww thank you so much ❤️
That lady who sat there waiting for her appointment, in Chicago, girl, WHY didn’t you IMMEDIATELY get up and LEAVE!!!!! Why do women second guess themselves???!!!
It’s not just hair! Let me say that again. IT’S NOT JUST HAIR!! There are people who have alopecia, losing hair from cancer treatments, from age etc. It’s not just hair and I’m so sick of people especially hairstylists who say that.
Those are the minority. For 90% of the population it's "just hair"
We not talking about people.eating their own hair, we talking about the bigger population having a freak out over a haircut.
Not saying hair is completely unimportant but people need to remember it grows back.
But we can't always center the discussion on the small minority
@@ghostoflazlo It absolutely does not always grow back. If you’re a woman in your 40’s/50’s it ain’t growing back. There is a change and your hair 1000% starts thinning. Now if you’re lucky to be born with a a lot of hair, it might not affect you as much. I’m going through it now. I have clumps of hair coming out. Just like how men bald, so do women.
@michelechesney3599 again, we're talking majority but you just wanna point to different groups who fall outside that.
Cool.
But again, hair is hair for most people
@@ghostoflazlo Question, if a hairstylist fries your hair, or messes up hair so bad it becomes comprised/damaged and they say “it’s just hair” would you be ok with that? That’s what I am trying to say. No hair professional should ever say it’s just hair when they mess up. EVER.
Also, going through menopause doesn’t affect a few woman, We all go through menopause and hormonal thinning/hairloss is not a minority of people, it’s literally apart of menopause and sometimes happens during pregnancy. Just because you may be younger doesn’t mean women in their 40s/50s are a minority group. All women go through menopause. You’re in the minority IF you’re fine with a hair professional saying it’s just hair after they damage/compromise your hair. I’m sure these ladies in the video would not agree it’s just hair.
But we all have our opinions, and if that’s yours you do you. I’ll stick to holding hair professionals accountable for damaging and/or messing up my hair because it’s not just hair to me.
@@michelechesney3599 trying to find every little thing just to make a point i don't agree with.
Girl I get it , your sad you're going bald and I get it but if you get a bad haircut it will grow back because "it's just hair" and that applies to the bigger population of people. Stop putting so much value on external things
But keep writing those novellas or maybe go look for a nice wig❤️
I feel like it’s a crime to be this early
The fact that I uploaded so late and yall are here though 😭😭❤️❤️
The fact that quick weaves went from $75- to $120 is #CRIMINAL ....but never make an excuse for stylist being RUDE and LATE!
Why do they always say “I don’t know you” or when you msg to book and they respond back with “damn I can’t get a good morning?” Excuse me,,Are we supposed to know one another before ever meeting?? orrr?? and is this not a service/ business? I didn’t know it was a crime to come in asking for the service. It’s like you need to walk on eggshells,appeal to their ego and be bullied for them to treat u like half a human.
My braider comes to my house 😅 and she is soooo sweet. It takes bout 5 hrs to braid my natural hair and i always offer her food and water and breaks and she is always like NO I AM WOMAN STRONG, POWER THROUGH. Like babe 😂 ok. We watched concert recordings and movies too during my appt
I watched #waitingtoexhale and I literally cried at the fact that Gloria had such a kind and loving relationship with not only her friends but her clients
Whenever you upload, I get so excited! I love your content!!
Thank you so much ❤️
@@BusiswaG anytime love! 💕
300 dollar deposit for loc extensions gone. She did offer for me to come and pick up the loc extensions but I didn’t even want it after the piss poor experience for her. A week or so later I went to the hair store and started talking to a girl that works their and I showed her the texts messages of the the girl that was supposed to do my hair and she knew exactly who I was suppose to go too and it wasn’t the first time she had done this to someone and had done hair shows and not paid the models. I normally do my own hair but loc extensions a different beast. These so called stylist make me sick
The saddest thing for me is that black culture is so far gone from how it was in the 90s
Extremely far gone
I am so glad I do my hair myself. Sometimes I want braids but I refuse to put up with this. These new-age "stylists", "braiders", etc. are unprofessional and disturbing. There must be something in the water.
