Hi geeks,
I've been qualified since end of may, after 3 years training, and luckily kept on with the salon that trained me. Now, because I fell pregnant just before I qualified, I feel like one of my managers 'has it in for me'. He used to be really nice to me just before he found out, but lately I feel like everything i do isn't good enough. Now I know it's never going to be 100% perfect, but I feel like even I do my very best, it comes out worse.
The reason I'm feeling like this is because on Tuesday, the day where it's pretty much him and me, I had a tsection booked in, and if I'm honest, it was one of the best hair I've done, and I feel like I did that giving my all and feeling pretty confident in myself, knowing the right things to say and my cut was one of the best I did.
When I was picking out my colour, she was Base 7/8 and blonde with one dark to one blonde, and decided that I would use a high lift tint, on top of that, her hair wasn't in best of conditions, so didn't want to use bleach and dry it out more. He asked what I was going to use and was trying to decide on the lighter blonde but had decided on keune high lift 1032 for the dark, but wasn't listening to what I was trying to say and kept saying 'a 10.3 isn't light enough for her hair. You can see that.' I did try and tell him that I wasn't using 10.3 at all, let alone my only colour. Instead I gave up arguing with him, and after he insisted I use bleach with 10 vol and 1032, I used it to shut him up, even after client had already stated she doesn't have bleach. Fair enough it blended well, but personally I don't like using bleach, and I would have got enough lift because I had another client which is a little darker, despite him saying I wouldn't have.
I finished my cut and colour but didn't finish with the tongs because he had to check it first so I decided that instead of him ruining what I made look brilliant, I would leave it til after. He kept making comments and faces as if to say 'this is horrendous' and I did tell him that I wasn't completely done, because I didn't want it ruined by him. When my client had left, he said 'the fringe was poorly done, your blowdrying techniques were awful, your supposed to be a hairdresser and have control of the hair'. I was pretty hurt by his comments altogether, and I understand he was trying to give me constructive criticism.
I have no idea what exactly I was doing wrong, I double check everything i do, and ensure it was what I feel is as near to perfect as possible before getting everything checked.
He is making my work feel unbearable to be there, is there something I can do?
Sorry for ranting!

) is maybe the fact you're pregnant.
