no one gets my hair right cuz it’s curly and APPARENTLY most stylists i see only know how to work on straight hair

[@Alex-sv7vt]

Same exact problem. I've even gone to one who was telling me all about the seminars she goes to to learn more about cutting hair, and she was bragging about how she'd looked into it. She didn't do a good job

[@judithsixkiller5586]

Look for a stylist with naturally curly hair.We know about cowlicks (weird growth patterns) and how much curly hair can shrink during a haircut!

[@destinationunknown8645]

my stylist is so good! she's a specifically curly haired cutter, best i've ever been to (and my hair is to my ears, so it's easy to get wrong)

[@BMoll87]

Amen to that! I have fine hair that’s wavy to curly.. not a lot of hair, and it has high porosity.. one hairdresser straightens it before cutting.. that should have been a red flag for me right away.. 🤨

[@Simply-Royale]

No fr this one lady straightened my hair to cut it

[@PriscillaV1964]

I always tell my stylist that I have had my hair every color and every length, including completely bald, so relax.

[@hushabyezw]

I tried a lot of styles and a lot of hairdressers, a lot of them are simply afraid of cuting wrongly. Two years ago I was blonde (almost White) and my hairdresser accidentally damaged a part with Bleach and I lost length in that section. I told him to relax, it's hair and it will grow, I also told him I like too much how he cuts my hair

[@animak757]

I undestand why the red flag one, but at the same time, I feel so much as her. Some stylist do what they believe it's best for the client and not what they want. I've never been able to get just a trim without layers or blending my bangs

[@demja2468]

FRR I still remember walking into a place with my mother expecting a simple trim and I ended up with a Bob???? I was a kid at the time so can you imagine how much I cried when we got home? She also curled it inwards and I hated how it looked. (I ended up liking it when it grew out a little but she didn't have to give me a BOB 😭) And I'm like 90% sure the comment she made when we left was backhanded, she said something like "don't you look so much better now!!? This is much better than what you were asking for" MAAM????

[@reneedittmer9625]

That's like me since I have curly hair. Thankfully, I haven't had to change stylists yet and my stylist is great! You have to cut curly hair a certain way btw, if you cut it the wrong way it can come out uneven and just so unnatural looking. Curly hair is beautiful, but you have to maintain it and put things on it to keep it looking beautiful. It's the same thing with people wanting bigger breasts and a booty, you have to take so much care of them for them to be healthy and clean. You can in fact get bumps, acne, and even skin sores under your breasts and even on your butt if you don't clean them, it especially happens with people who have bigger breasts.

[@jean-zq2wg]

About the blending bangs, I felt that XD It's happened to both me and my sister a handful of times. Like, please leave the poor bangs alone, It's not stylish and definitely not maintainable XDXD

[@leporid257]

my hair reaches my butt. so far no hairdresser thought it's wise to start brushing from the tips upwards. then they're confused about the birds best they produce.

[@slaypurryass]

@@reneedittmer9625why was half this comment about butts and boobs 😭

[@daydreamerjim6603]

I probably come off as the Red Flag because honestly most hairdressers I've been to kinda just don't do my hair the way I want it. I only ever had one girl at my old salon manage to get it right but she moved away like a couple years after I started using her. And then I went to a barber shop instead of a salon and every single person there knew how to cut my hair the way I wanted it EXCEPT for the girl who was there to train as a barber and usually works at a salon. And that's how I learned that the type of hairstyles I like are really easy for barbers to understand but not so easy to translate to salons 😅

[@orbitingpluto3213]

Yup, I used to ask for a trim and they'd cut it short with layers. I kinda gave up on having my hair professionally done. I just give it a simple trim when I think it needs it. I like things simple. I'm starting to go grey, but whatever. Let hair be hair.

[@nya9134]

Actually true and most of the time male hairstylists do better jobs than female ones.

[@caramelbloom8341]

To be fair, my hair is really fluffy and wavy, but it's looks straight when it's wet, so hairdressers usually cut it the length I want it wet, and then one it dries it's super short. It's why I learned to cut my own hair

[@jarofbees7259]

Or it dries crooked because one side puffs up more. It's not a red flag customer, it's a sign to actually pay attention to what you're doing. I've gotten to the point I have to warn them I'll walk out if they try to give me f*ing bangs. Not all customers want you to experiment on them.

[@GoombaTheCat]

All I ever wanted was either long enough that I can tie it all back or short enough that I don't have to. Somehow that always became exactly the length that doesn't quite reach into a ponytail ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

[@TazerRose]

i have curly / wavy hair and i just cut it at home for the same reason. it's always too short and no one ever listens. my last haircut that i paid for free hand cut my hair wet then used a blow dryer to puff out my hair and even put it in a bun for me to leave. Should have been a red flag but i didn't see it and when i got home, i straightened my hair and i had a 2 inch shelf with no layering. had to cut those extra 2 inches off myself .-.

[@LilahIsCute]

I'm not sure, but couldn't you just ask the hairdresser to cut it longer than you want it in the first place and then when it dries it's the right length??

[@caramelbloom8341]

@@LilahIsCute I tried that, they insisted on cutting it the "proper length"

[@katfoster845]

I have naturally curly hair and so many hairdressers haven't really known how to style it. The first couple of hairdressers I tried were lovely, but straightened my hair. The cut looked great straight, but didn't do anything for my curls. I now have an ace hairdresser I love. She just does my hair perfectly every time. It looks amazing and I'll always go back to her. She's not cheap, but it makes me feel fabulous so I'm happy to spend the money.

[@stephaniethesoprano]

I don't trust hairdressers if they say "oh I'm good with curly hair" or "oooo I love cutting curly hair!" that's code for "I love playing with curly hair but I don't know how to cut and style it" lol if I'm telling ya that cutting a specific amount will result in a specific amount of shrinkage I mean it!!!!!

[@bringoutthet8212]

I'm the red flag 😭 I'm biracial and NO ONE used to cut my hair right. It would have hella choppy layering and look like a mushroom or just look weird. Luckily the modern day hairdressers that are a little more technical understand what to do. But it sure was a journey.

[@lizcran50]

Omg I feel this!!! I once described a terrible cut "like she used a weed hacker"....soo uneven and in chunks. No I'll stick to the straight cut my girl does. Then the curls look amazingly layered.

[@Hopee_xp]

I’m very glad my mom is a hairstylist. She’s always been a patient person but I was that kid who wanted to try so many different things I had a boy cut, a pixie cut, and longer cuts. And I have really poofy and wavy/curly hair. So While she never got what I wanted always right from that I still loved it in the end. Plus the best part is, unless I want to color my hair it doesn’t cost money!

[@Cat..Person]

Tbh I relate to the “red flag” one. I have weirdly textured hair it’s mixed wavy and super curly and it always turned out wonky no matter if it was cut wet or dry or if it was left natural or straight. My friend cut it last week, she’s not a professional but it looks better than at any salon I’ve been to before. There’s unfortunately no black salons in my area either or anyone who knows how to cut curly hair (okay one but I don’t want to pay 200+€ to get my hair a lil shorter and minimal layers I normally pay like 25-30 ish which is the norm here for plain cuts)

[@nyxx5357]

I would phrase it differently than the video. Intead of being accusatory and putting blame on past stylists, even if they deserve it, maybe say something like "I have a mixed hair texture that is hard to cut neatly, do you have anyone who is experienced with that?" I have to do a similar thing when I book my husband's appointments. His hair is curly and thick, and a lot of stylists don't know how to handle anything but straight or SLIGHTLY wavy hair.

[@Cat..Person]

@nyxx5357 Yea so would I if I talk about it normally and all the people I know no matter what hair texture confirm that my hair texture is weird. I can’t blame hairdressers for being confused by my hair texture bc so am I but they should not be like yea I can handle that if they definitely can’t. Summer 2022 I went to a salon I had been to once before when I had long wavy hair and they were pretty average at cutting it. Then I went there with corkscrew curls in the front and wavy or loosely curly hair in the back and they said they can handle it and put relaxers in my hair without my consent (which my hair still hasn’t fully recovered from it’s wavy curly everywhere now corkscrews are gone), cut it very badly and blow dried it straight even tho to the question whether they should blow dry it at all not even straight I said no. So that salon deserves all the shit I give them tbh but everywhere else I’ve grown the mentality of meh it’ll grow back

[@Lonely_Raven_666]

Tbh I just stopped going to hairdressers cause it was to the point that once they asked if they should cut a part of my hair, I said no and they immediately started cutting it anyways. Like no hairdresser could match my reference pictures, not even close. They'd say sure and then do something fully different. So now I do everything except bleaching at home

[@jenna6149]

I rarely, if ever, let a "professional " cut my hair because i can't afford one that listens. Last year, I got fed up with my long, heavy hair and always putting it up. I brought in 3 pictures of what i wanted, multiple pictures of my current hair (because it was unwashed and in a bun), and asked her if she could do a long layer bob. She assured me it would be no problem. I got 2+ feet of hair cut off and walked out with a 70s shag just like hers. I wore it up and still do most of the time, but it weighs less.

[@superjello3979]

I'm in veterinary medicine, but it's funny how the red flag translates the same in any profession. If someone comes in saying that you're their 6th professional in a row and nothing can be straightened out, they're probably going to be looking for a 7th too. 😂

[@A_Person9228]

Okay but sometimes you do live in an area with no good hairdressers. I have curly hair, but I’ve had three different stylists straighten it and thin it before cutting so it looks like shit when I wear it curly. (And I walk in to the salon with curly hair, it’s not like they thought I wanted to straighten it every day)

[@Kalani_Saiko]

frfr, though. There are two hairdressing places total in my town (which is actually a lot for where we are). Luckily for me, one of them is pretty damn good with my hair and I have been going to her for years. She does occasionally make suggestions but doesn't actually do them unless we want her to.

[@francescadarrigo3911]

Much like so many other people in the comments, I have pretty tight curly hair and for 24 years of my life NOBODY cut or styled my hair right 🥲 thankfully things are changing and people are learning how to work with natural curls! I've been going to my current hairdresser now for 3 years and finally finding someone who understands curly hair absolutely changed my life!!

[@daniletourneau6182]

Coming from a hairdresser in NY of over 20+ years.... this is 110% accurate 😂😂😂

[@Lily-yw5kg]

Guess I’m the red flag lol I don’t even go to hair salons any more. I’ve been dying my hair on a regular basis since I was like 9 and it’s overall really healthy, but the end are a bit dry. I honestly don’t mind I have curly hair and I don’t think it looks bad, but every single time I’ve gotten my hair done they cut off wayyyy to much I’m talking 4-6 inches gone. I’m autistic and can’t handle change especially unexpected change and no one will listen to me. My hair is not dead and even if it was it’s my decision and they always act like I’m an idiot who doesn’t understand anything about hair. My hair still grows very quickly (quicker than I would like it to) and is very soft. I’ve been so much happier just trimming it myself and will never let anyone else touch my hair again

[@PercabethYessss]

Love that :)

[@YokiDokiPanic]

My go-to is just go to a different hairdresser each time, give them a specific length I want and let them suggest what would work best. Some really want specific instructions, but others are excited they get to do their own thing. Got some really nice styles that way. (Nothing ever too experimental, though. I didn't visit alternative stylists.)

[@chicken]

I've had bad experiences too! It's tough finding someone who understands curly hair.

[@natk1105]

The platinum one hits home. 😅 When I first went blonde I didn't know that you can only lighten a certain number shades at a time. I also didn't know that foils leave original colour mixed in so it takes 2-3 sessions to get a more solid look. But the hairdresser was very patient to explain it to me and once I understood everything was fine. A little humility goes a long way.

[@kalenhuntley3508]

I've been going icy blonde at home from red and it has taken me a total of 15 rounds of bleach to achieve it. That's because I'm being careful and not over doing it all at once. But gals. You are not going icy blonde in one session. It's not possible.

[@Pixielly]

15 rounds? How dark is your hair? I’ve got brown almost black hair and I’ve done it in about 2-3 rounds before.

[@kalenhuntley3508]

@@Pixielly I have a dark Auburn color naturally, and my hair was box dyed a lighter red. Red already is a hassle to get blonde because the brassiness takes FORVER to get out, and that was my main problem. I also underestimated the thickness of my hair so I wasn't able to bleach my roots for a couple rounds. I did it slowly and carefully. My hair still thinned quite a bit. I love the icy blonde look I think it's so pretty. But yeah, it just took a really long time to get the yellow out. I have cool skin, so warm blondes look terrible on me. It's gotta be nice and light, a nice ice or ash blonde to look good.

[@astraltoast]

I relate to the red flag one, even though I wouldn’t say that to someone’s face. I have curly hair and apparently, in my country, no one knows how to work with it. Also a lot of hair stylist just do whatever instead of what I asked for, there was so many situations of getting a Karen cut (I’m a guy) or someone semi-straightening my hair despite my protests.

[@kriscat4306]

Omg same! My hair is like a weird wavy trying to be curly weird thing, and some lady called it curly I gave her a reference photo and even said I was willing to compromise, I wanted it longer in the back and shorter in the front. I explained it, I pointed to where I wanted it. And I walked out with a Bob that was literally one step away from a Karen cut. Plus she straightened my hair and idk if it was my hair or what but it defied gravity in that style. Stuck straight out lmao

[@xilj4002]

On the rare occasion I see a stylist I used to be the red flag client, until I randomly took a walk in spot with a 50+ year old lady who had zero idea how to do hair that isn't buzzcut, longtop, or grandma perm. She was so flustered she accidentally gave me exactly what I asked for instead of what she thought would look good. Best haircut of my life, I tipped her double. I don't even try anymore with stylists who have all sort of certificates and marketing buzzwords, they keep doing cuts and colors I don't ask for because some textbook or fashion mag said it'd suit me better (it's a universal experience in my area with hair and makeup, most people play style gamble until they find a salon with matching taste)

[@levifoster2992]

I'm the regular through and through - my stylist doesn't have to ask me questions about what i want, she already knows 😂

[@WhoIsJaiK]

As a client, I can understand the “red flag” one but don’t understand why it’s a red flag. As a girl who’s about to go to school for cosmetology, I can see why it’s annoying

[@sarahsession4657]

In most cases, a client like that will never be happy no matter what you do. They chair hop constantly and are never satisfied. It was even something instructors warned us to look out for in beauty school.

[@anamazing2297]

​@@sarahsession4657 As someone who has never had the opportunity to be a regular anywhere, I thought it might've been how I describe my desired haircut. I would use the phrases previous stylists used, and get completely different outcomes. A couple times I've been the red flag, but those were typically after the worst cuts -- like a literal mullet when I didn't want layers above my ears. Try to hide an unwanted poof on top of your head, and tell me what you'd say to the next stylist. Seriously, I need to know. 😅

Only one worked out like I envisioned... 😭 I once asked for short hair, but the stylist argued against it, despite me showing cute photos of _myself_ with the haircut I wanted!

[@infinity-skies1207]

“no one ever gets my hair right” shows you need a consultation to get it right. its that easy. people always fuck up my hair and i TELL them why and they still do it. just because my hair looks dark doesnt change that I was blonde and my hair still lifts like its a dark blonde. stylists don’t believe that, so im always over processed and fried

[@SparklingLemon430]

The "red flag" one is me. Once I went into the salon asking to go brunette (had several photos pf the exact colour) from a medium blonde and they brought out the bleach. I questioned them and they told me to just tryst them because they were the expert. I walked out $500 poorer with blonde highlights. The colour I wanted was an all over dark auburn hair.

[@justicecampbell3892]

As someone who has had my hair butchered by every stylist I went to, I don't understand how thats a red flag. A lot of stylists just do what they want to the client instead of doing what the client asked for because 'they know better than the client' 🤷🏽‍♀️🤦🏽‍♀️

I walk my dumb ass in there with "its kinda a mullet but like its maybe a mohawk and also and undrecut oops i lost the referance pic 👉👈" and she turns around and gives me exactly what i was imaganing in like 20 minutes for 100 pesos.

Then there are people like me who only go every couple of years because grow it out to donate it. The most complex thing I’ve ever asked is that they cut my longer hair to be the length of my shorter hair underneath that grew out after my brain surgery. They’d shaved the lower half of my head for the surgery. Thankfully my hair is thick and the top half covered it all. When I showed her, the nice salon employee completely understood and I was very happy with the result.

[@brittanypanda3322]

My request is always "im trying to grow my hair out, please trim off only as much as you need to keep it healthy" its usually like 2 inches at most and so far people seem to really follow my request.

Just under jaw length most of my hair, Leave a section on my left side alone to only do split end removal and let it grow, and buzz the back of my neck and do an undercut on my right side above my ear. I asked another at the salon to do it once when he was busy, and the other was so confused that they sent me back to the lobby to wait for my regular instead. Unfortunately the salon I was going to foreclosed, so now I'm without my stylist. I haven't been to a new salon yet, but I'm not confident that anyone else will understand what I'm going for.

I understand the "red flag" girl (minus the attitude and entitlement) so hard. No matter how the hair is cut or styled, the people i used to go to would always try to make my hair look cute and neat and girly and feminine. The stylist i see now doesnt do that. She actually listens to what i want. She gives me the edgy look that i like. She doesnt leave me taking out the scissors when i get home and doing a less than mediocre job of what should have been done.

And if they tell me my ends need more length cut off, or bangs are too much maintenance for me, I LISTEN. If it was easy to do hair, I wouldn't be paying someone else with expertise to do it for me. Also, girl knows ALL my business. She's the last person on Earth I would screw with.

Last time I had my hair cut I walked into the salon with four photos. 1) me with my hair done an inch too short. 2) me with the style I wanted for the front. 3) inspo photo for an undercut and 4) inspo photo for the back/side profiles. Technically she currently it slightly too short - but that's mostly my fault as I also said to take 16 inches for the hair donation scheme if she could get close to the cut I wanted still. The only unrealistic thing I do regarding colour is occasionally request a patch test - when I know the only real question is "how much will my skin not like this dye" - since it's never been a full blown allergy reaction I like to consider it every so often.

The client with the expectation to look like Elsa in one sitting has gotta let it go

[@marshall7338]

Its my first time going to a hair salon this week, I always cut my own hair but i wanted to try a new haircut and im SO ANXIOUS 😭😭😭 but im choosing to trust 🙏

In my case, many hairdressers have gotten my hair great, even perfect, and some of them multiple times. That's not to say there haven't been hairdressers to have messed up so bad I was questioning how they were even hairdressers in the first place, but these are exemptions. One thing I can wholly attest to though is that NO hairdresser and when I say NO I mean NO hairdresser has ever gotten my sister's hair perfect, and in fact, most of the times it's very average or straight up bad (I'm talking teenagers and older, I don't remember as a kid). There is a couple of honourable mentions, note: not of hairdressers, but of haircuts, but at the end of the day, never great and certainly never perfect. I don't know how to explain this. Even hairdressers who got my hair great, messed hers up greatly. I used to think she was picky, but over the years I started seeing what she was seeing. She has never gotten a great haircut! I would also be pissed and keep in mind, she's very sweet to the hairdresser, she's quite the opposite of a red flag, which come to think of it, might actually be the problem. Just saying for the people who might rush to conclusions. Now, do they underestimate what she's asking for? Does she have a weird head shape? Is she cursed? I don't know, but it is true. Noone has ever done her hair really really really good, noone! And it's just crazy to me

I just go in for a bang trim I have certain bangs I did get my hair colored once it was an ombre so happy I didn't get my hole head colored cause some of my hair fell out shortly after but my hair was really long and thick so you couldent tell but the salon I go to is SO good the lady's their love talking about cloths and sqiushmallows me being a twelve yr old I love it there

[@sammysammyson]

I just tell my stylist what I want and let her go from there, whether we'll need a second appointment, etc. It always looks amazing so 🤷‍♀️

[@abigailwaugh2026]

Every time I go to get the big chop I’m always the second one. But here’s how I describe it now, “I want it to be short but I wear high ponytails often so long enough to wear those but as short as you can get it otherwise”

[@alicianolte6402]

Inwardly, I'm the red flag, but too nervous to say out loud that I don't like the cut. I'm too picky, so I just cut my own hair now.

[@Barkstep]

I’ve gone to the same Salon since I came to where I live

[@IdkHow_2_Exist]

The red flag one is so me and why I constantly want my nephew to do my hair instead of the others cause he does it just right

[@Addie_LaRue]

The platinum 😂😂😂

[@martinadelvai4115]

Well you would love me as a client. I only ever want a bit of a trim, just to get the double ends out. As much as needed as little as possible. I even let my cousin practice on me when she went to school to be a hairdresser but was not allowed to work on people yet. It's just hair, it grows back. Also no styling ever stays in place for more than 2-3 hours max, so no need to do anything fancy to my hair.

[@lesil1000]

I can only afford to go to great clips most of the time, and if it’s in layers they cut it all one length and it’s way shorter than I wanted. So one time I told a hairstylist at a fancy place that I wanted a trim and that my hair was in layers. She was so confused if I wanted a trim or layers. I just wanted a trim that didn’t fuck up the style 😢

I have my cda(child development associate) took 2 months. I make more than my coworkers with their bachelor's in early childhood education. Because ive neen in the field much longer than them

[@Dreamer-gh7yd]

I am someone who has been getting the same haircut at the same place since I was 8. I have just moved so I am very anxious about getting a haircut because I have no idea how to ask for what I want. I always just say “cut it like always” and they know what to do.

[@clairegarberding]

Why do I understand the 2 one

[@bugstomper123]

I told a hairdresser that I wanted my hair cut just above the shoulders. She cut it just below my chin. I said I wanted some choppy layers, there were none.

[@LilahIsCute]

The second one wants her hair just above her shoulders 💁🏻‍♀️

[@mizzchrizz5981]

I once was a regular but my stilist ruined my haire on MY WEDDING. And we met 2 weeks before training the braid's. I will never understand why they start to cut them. At home I tried to fix it. Happily it worked out for me. Since my wedding I never been in a salon again.

[@Liitebulb]

Well most hairdreseers often don't get it right, especially with curly hair

[@c3l3st1alg0bl1n]

i know exactly what the second one is on about

[@av-sp1wo]

And me, the one who knows exactly and I mean EXACTLY what I want but the hairdressers cant respect my wish of just cutting 3-4 inches straight. Yes, straight line. They keep clipping off more and yes i know there are split end left, no I dont care.
