Hi guys! I don't know if you'll remember me but I'm Mollie and last year I started having an allergic reaction to colours and other products in the salon so I had to quit hairdressing altogether. I managed to find out what it was im allergic to by going to see a dermatologist, had to have 94 of those patches on my back to find out what it is.
Anyway. I've been out the salon since last May now and now work in fashion. But I do cut hair still just mainly friends and family so atleast I'm still doing abit. Basically one of my "friends" asked me for colour advice a couple of weeks ago. She was a level 5 not natural she had been putting box colour on top of box colour for many years and she wanted to go lighter. I told her the best option for her was to go to a salon since I couldn't do it for her and they would be able to do it properly I even found her prices for the salon I used to work at. I gave her the usual advice of not attempting to do it herself at home as it's such a big job to do and all sorts of disasters could happen. But of course she didn't take my advice did she. So she sent me a picture yesterday of her hair. It's yellow at the roots and orange on the ends the side has also snapped off. And she's telling me that she's going to put more bleach on it tomorrow. I told her not to because of the condition already. She said how shes got her grandads funeral and can't go to it with "ginger and yellow hair" She then proceeded to blame me for it because I couldn't do it for her!!!!! How is that my fault? I gave her all the advice and now because she didn't listen her hairs in crap condition. She got her cousin to do it
For her who isn't trained or qualified in hairdressing. Anything I said was apparently not good enough even though I had been doing hairdressing for five years so i think I know what I'm on about. I'm sorry for this long essay but I really needed a rant to people who understand how frustrating it is to feel like I did. But am I in the wrong should i have done it for her with my condition?
