[@Lucy-Sparking]

Stylists are like police officers. They 'protect their own' and hate when their mistakes are pointed out. The one way to increase the quantity of customers for stylist is to improve the quality of their work for customers.

[@tkoart7562]

We getting scalped, hacked and unedged out here and I appreciate you speaking up about it. Everyone shouldn’t be a stylist.

[@ALThickMadame]

Hit dogs holla every single time.

[@shamekabenjamin8010]

Ain’t that the truth…

[@s.a.weddaborn]

Calling someone out for wrong actions is not negativity.

[@asthyselfie]

Honesty and negativity are not synonyms! I really feel like baby girl is trying to fan the flame and she don’t even deserve the smoke! It’s a reason your instinct is telling you to ignore her shenanigans!

[@sunflower5858]

The fact that she’s thinking you’re doing what you do for “likes” and for going “viral” is a CLEAR indication that she hasn’t the slightest idea of who you are or what you’ve been contributing for the last several years. I remember when you went viral for one of your shorts, and you were not happy about the constant notifications and comments/questions you were getting! 😂

[@Xo-zn1bq]

Peoole love to say “everyone is different” when they get called out for bad practices chile

[@suki73]

Because of your videos I now know how to communicate with my new stylist. I just found her and because I'd been watching your videos for months I knew what questions to ask and how to communicate my concerns with her during my consultation. Thank you for all of the information you've put out here for those that need/want it.

[@Marcie_does_it]

I’m in my 40s and have been going to stylists off and on since I was 13, and can say with biggest part of my chest 🗣️🗣️🗣️ most stylists are trash! I don’t care how much education you have, where you went to school, there are a minority that are actually good at what they do. I’ve NEVER been to a stylist and didn’t have to go home to restyle my hair. And don’t tell me that I didn’t do my due diligence. Most stylists are just not that good. We have every right to talk about this… stylists and consumers, alike.

[@ksha]

These stylist need to accept that their techniques are trash.

[@deedwells]

Idk if any industry doesn’t want critique they aren’t interested in getting better at the craft. I’m a designer so it pretty common to receive critique in our work. We all collectively understand that it makes us better. Why are stylists so stuck in their ways?

[@AfrikanHairGod]

It's truly sad... I would welcome constructive criticism. There's always room to learn and grow

[@tobekai]

Continue spreading the truth, Narada. You have taught many throughout your years on KZbin and in the salon.

[@ljay4525]

He really has. I have been following for about a month. He helped changed the way I view my son's hair and how I approach it. My son prefers his hair long but hates manipulation. Now I have always kept it braided, locs, or twists but I realized I was working against his texture in many ways. I was handling him the same way I had been handled. I washed and styled his hair using some tips I have gotten from the videos. It's only been once but it was more pleasant for both of us and the style has lasted longer.

[@Jazzerbean]

Welp, you basically said all that I wanted to say in response to her 👏🏾 Thanks for advocating for us (the clients). Stylists like you who care about our crown have allowed us to develop higher expectations for the hair service. So, if other stylists who practice poor technique can't reach those standards, that's on them. We're not settling anymore.

[@ChelseaOdera]

“The PEOPLE that I serve.” Full stop! Your words speak volumes!

[@Amanda-vx1ut]

what is she talking about 'teach a class' when Narada has a whole catalogue of numbered education videos available for FREE on YT

[@nobody-rn4ig]

Can you imagine if a doctor said calling out people in that profession was "petty".

[@tmcurly]

Unfortunately they do. I have been on the receiving end as both a patient and a professional (clinical pharmacist) 😞. It’s all about money these days. Caring doctors that want to help people heal are becoming harder and harder to find. My doctor was the caring and empathetic type until I had a problem with the type of care I was receiving 😳..

[@denyshadials5702]

She spent a whole 2 minutes just deflecting and being defensive. Just put the shovel down..this hole is getting deep for no reason..

[@chocolatecoils8200]

If you go public with your work you can’t be mad if someone comments on it. Bruh not even just you comment on stylist work. Regular people tell them they doing shit wrong too plz be for real.

[@shamekabenjamin8010]

Way too much ego and a lack of humility with some of these stylists. Is it me, or is every type of service taken a dive in quality?… hair stylist, customer service, restaurant service.. I think everyone has become too damned entitled.. this is the behavior that has kept me from a stylist for over 10 years.

[@emmiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii]

Not just you at all! Overall, quality customer service, including in the restaurant industry, is almost nonexistent these days... it’s truly saddening and pitiful 😕

[@YourOpinionIsNotFact]

We All may have been Taught Different but there is Always The Right Way and The Wrong Way to do things.

[@DK-qj7cr]

Did AHG just declare that he isn’t the 1 OR the 2?!!! 😶😑😒🫣😂🤣☝🏽😂🤣☝🏽

[@browngirlreading]

So you have to go viral to be relevant? 🙄 She clearly doesn't know you. She's only been here 20 minutes.

[@CocoButta]

Hmmmmmmm. Isn't she guilty of the same thing that she's subjectively accusing other stylists of doing, in her video............ "Negatively critiquing stylists"???? Maybe it's just me. Peace and Blessings Narada. You truly are a Hair God, and these novices, that are pretending to be professionals, just can't keep up. ✌🏽

[@shamekabenjamin8010]

No it’s not just you.. and yes she absolutely is.

[@user-zx5xw4yw2e]

Basically ma'am , youre guilty. Lol

[@emmiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii]

😹👏🏼

[@ab.6031]

Tight but it’s right. Don’t let the enemy distract you my brotha. You are doing a GREAT JOB, and I pray Yahweh continues to protect you and your business

[@tmariek2]

Every 6-8 weeks had me lol

[@Ronldbx6]

I busted out laughing at that part too🤣🤣🤣!

[@MsGg90]

Yes Rada! Keep it up! They pressed

[@CrissRenayHinesPhoto]

She worried about somebody being viral, but being viral doesn’t equal to quality content. Quality over quantity is always better which doesn’t equate to longevity. You will be around for a long time after others don’t cut it and dwindle away.

[@AshlynFears]

So sad that people can’t take critiques. You should forever be a student in any industry. SMH

[@TheNewHope2010]

SPEAK THE TRUTH!!! You told her off! And that low-key threat was SHARP!! And classy at that! Well done! 👏👏👏

[@tkoart7562]

They don’t want to go toe to toe with you boo ❤

[@purplepheasant4776]

There is a difference between an educated and passionate hairstylist or hair artist and a hairdresser doing hair because they can't work for anyone. Too many are the latter. These imposters attitudes and work ethic are so bad they'd be fired from any and every business establishment. Hence, they've grabbed a pair of scissors and a flat iron and are on their way to ruin everything you love. What a hustle!

[@TheCarnivoreSoprano]

Yes. They just run a damn muck. Have been since the reality tv show era started. Too much nonsense. This is definitely why i haven't seen a stylist in years. Outrageous pricing is another one.

[@EricaInBorderland]

Please, refer to the woman in my profile picture as an example of one of the stylists who should've quit while she was ahead before going back and forth with somebody that actually knows what he's talking about. Shoutout to Cyndoll for my profile pictures, tho.

[@V2B2010]

😂

[@smileysayshi3]

🤣🤣🤣😂

[@AfrikanHairGod]

STAWP!!!

[@Vidgamechx]

I luv you ma'am 😂😂😂❤❤

[@Ronldbx6]

Your response had me weak😂😂😂! Not the list of names 🤣🤣🤣

[@LoXena]

1:33 That's the thing, it doesn't work for their clients.

[@Theekimpeccable]

It’s always interesting when someone decides to come for you using the exact tone that we’ve all been talking about. Being snooty while calling you petty is the dumbest thing I’ve ever seen. Also, to say “why don’t you teach instead of critique”. You definitely educate ppl on what these folks are doing wrong and that’s their issue.

[@ZandraJ]

He been here since the 2010 I been watching him since I been natural and that’s been 10 years. Where she come from? Who is she honestly?? She just got to the party that she wasn’t invited to.

[@Kie2Hair]

The chopped off part is why I show my clients photos until they trust me completely.

[@Ronldbx6]

This woman really said let stylist continue to jack up their clients haid and nobody better not say anything. If I had the money and resources I would love for you to service my hair because I don't trust these stylist out here.

[@MagickalMermaid]

I'm so glad I learned how to care for and trim my own hair years ago. I only went to a stylist back in 2022 after 10 years of not going to a salon to give me a short tapered cut. Other than that I do my own hair and that's mainly buns, a ponytail, or a wash n go. My hair is doing just fine...and I learned how to trim my hair using the Feye's method and I do it on curly hair.

[@renettegordley3493]

Too be truthful we need stylist like you & a few others ( you called her name.) I don't know how it should be presented to other stylist but it's to give people the knowledge so they won't get got. It's so people won't get their hair messed up. Too me that's love for someone (you) who are letting folks know what to do & not to do with their hair. That's no even your clients. No matter who they are getting their service from. Thank you for the truthful info you give.

[@user-zx5xw4yw2e]

He teaches all the time. You should learn something from him.

[@renettegordley3493]

I accept info someone gives me. I look passed how they say it because everybody's personality is different. I listen to the message. I can look over how it's said I'm taking in the priceless knowledge. I'd be like " Oh ok thank you I appreciate that" you can't tell some people nothing. Since they don't want to listen it has to be told to the folks who would reap the mistakes if it wasn't told.

[@teesnapz5830]

Man on man...preach...clients suffer!

[@grateful365]

I mean everything doesn't work for everybody, each person & stylist should simply do what's best for them & what works for their clients, my momma always told me there is more than one way to skin a cat & one person's way doesn't mean it's right or wrong. I just don't get all the back n forth & now threats, its just wild watching all this from "professionals"

[@AfrikanHairGod]

Then don't watch. Go get your hair hacked off and complain about it later like everyone else.

[@michellesmith3516]

That’s right come with receipts baby‼️‼️‼️‼️I love it!!!!! ❤❤❤❤❤your work is always 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥❤️❤️❤️❤️💪🏽💪🏽💪🏽💪🏽💪🏽💪🏽

[@marquita83]

Ok since when being viral equals relevant and views clearly you watched😂 and made a whole video some ppl makes no sense some ppl need to think before they speak she don't know who you are smh

[@Chokolatepeach]

This was the most cordial read I have ever seen... kudos Sir 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾

[@AugustLady77]

Please continue spreading your knowledge Narada. Since when was critiquing a bad thing?! She wants stylist to do whatever and no one says anything. Girl bye.

[@Amanda-vx1ut]

why is she speaking in slow motion

[@tiffanihenson7777]

She gotta be punching the air right now. I know she's embarrassed. I really hope she doesn't respond.

[@cmg25]

Your work speaks. Thank you for sharing. We are lucky for that.

[@TH2023_3]

They don't give a damn because they be to scared of missing money so they will keep fucking up people's hair.

[@Ronldbx6]

Whew! I wasn't ready😅!

[@Brownmahfun]

The problem is that it is NOT working for the client. Stylist are out of control. It is just like any other profession, you have to learn and update forever.

[@tashakeith1104]

Facts.

[@copycooks9850]

Imagine pretending that criticism with objective facts is a personal attack and needs defending. Like if you can't come back with the science to refute his points, then just admit that you're doing what you want to do, regardless of what is actually healthy for your clients. NO ONE IS ABOVE CRITICISM

[@butifulkash]

Give it to her on a platter brotha ... he speaking real spit and common sense Not the wrong Shit!!!!! your miseducating your clients 😅

[@Ronldbx6]

Lmao you dont even have to embarrass her. She embarrassed herself when she couldn't even identify or demonstrate splits ends on her client's hair. Instead she was just hacking off everywhere unnecessarily.

[@kikomathis2071]

She lost me when she became as petty

[@potterylady44]

Lol

[@Jae-by3hf]

Thank you for standing up for yourself and us clients! 🩷 I live in the UK and I will never go to a stylist here cause they just follow these trash “stylists” methods! Its disheartening cause I trim & look after my hair myself but would love for some extra guidance, but I’m not risking looking like Cynthia because they wanna forget what they learned in school!

[@simsimma4940]

That part. What you said girl. I'm also in the UK and feel the exact same way. I also do my own hair for all the reasons you mentioned. Everybody concentrates on styling, not the actual health of their clients hair that's why I love this man.

[@clairedaniels1877]

I'm thinking about just blowing out my own hair when it's long enough to trim, using the Anthony Dickey method for using heat, and just going to a straight hair stylist or a Great Clips or Supercuts to have it trimmed.
