Not sure about my hair stylist
I have been going to see Kim to do my hair since my wedding. SIL referred me to her for wedding hair and I was so amazed that I have booked regular appointments with her ever since. She seriously does more than a cut, it's like science. Her prices are very reasonable too. She works out of her apartment and is trying to save for a home.
Lately I have been on the fence about her though. SIL and I were talking about her and the only way we could describe her is "arrogant" and "in-your-face." She posts on facebook constantly, and will put up pics of what she is doing, or what her kids are doing, and then make some comment about how it is better than what you are doing. She has been on a healthy food kick lately and posts about how her dinners are better than what anyone else is eating. Okay, whatever. But this gets annoying when we are trying to get in touch with her to book an appointment and she ignores our text/call/message because she is too busy posting how awesome she is on fb. About two weeks ago she posted a HUGE rant on fb about how one of her clients cancelled on her at the last minute. I found this to be very unprofessional to rant on Facebook about customers, when most of her Facebook friends ARE her customers.
The other kicker is that she is 45 mins from my house. I have a customer from my work who is five minutes from her, so I try to go there at the end of my work day, hang out and check on them and then slip over to her place so I do not have to make the trip another time.
I guess my question is, at what point does the quality of her work outweigh her personal behavior and the distance to get there? I've never had haircuts so nice, but I am getting kind of sick of her unprofessional behavior. She is even on Facebook while I am in the chair waiting for my hair to set. She can't be bothered to visit with me or even get me a magazine. She just sits there on her iPhone posting about how great her life is compared to others. Would you be okay with this?
Re: Not sure about my hair stylist
I'd never drive 45 minutes for a hair cut.
Especially to someone's place of employment that is as unprofessional as this lady.
If this woman was giving me the best haircuts of my life for a good price I would put up with almost anything behavior wise. Annoying? Maybe, but her personal behavior is not about you. Get your hair cut and hide her on facebook! You *can* pick up your own magazine while you wait you know, you just want her to do it... you can enjoy the quiet time of not being *forced* to carry on conversation with your hairdresser. Change your perspective of what is happening and have great hair! That is what I'd do, and I'd happily drive 45 minutes for a great haircut, I already drive 30 for an ok one.
