Now I know I can blow wave really well. I pretty much mastered the straight blow wave in my apprenticeship. I am very confident in it and feel as that I do very well with it. Curly ones I need to work on timing but that is just me learning.
We have 4 teachers at my school. The principle offers advise when I need it (eg the teachers made me change to my largest brush and so my sections were the wrong size. He noticed and corrected it).
Anyway there is this one teacher I'm having issues with. She's older then the others. I am trying to take her seriously but she keeps interupting me and saying I need to do my blow waves differently. And that I am not focussing on the ends enough. But none of the other teachers think this. In fact they think my blow waves are amazing. It's just my timing that is off. I had a client who needed to leave in 3 minutes (parking). I had two sections left and her blow wave was looking really good. The teacher stopped me as I was doing the section and said that I needed to change from the brush that the school made me use and then use a wooden brush. She blow waved one section really slowly so I could see and made it pin straight and flat when we were going for body and tucking under with a mild flick. The client said the was going to fix it at home to me after the teacher walked off. It was just irritating.
I asked my teacher if she could get someone to trim my fringe as well. She sat my down and did it. I asked for a rounded fringe. I even showed her a picture of Melanie Martinez fringe. She has inverted the roundness, pulled the sides of my hair into it and it pretty much comes from my crown. It is a disaster. the outer corners of the eyebrows are where it is the shortest (about a 0.5 cm above my eyebrows) and the bridge of my nose is where it is longest. I don't understand how she got that from the image . And I literally cannot hit it. She also started chopping into my hair claiming the other teacher and student who cut my hair did a bad job. She didn't even ask me for my consent. Her scissors also hurt, when she was splicing it felt like she was ripping my hair out. (Scissor not sharp?).
I am considering writing a formal complaint to the schools admin because I feel like (and others in my class do as well) that she is causing a lot of issues. But How would you go about doing that? I don't want to seem pretentious or anything but I know my weaknesses and blow waving isn't one of them excluding timing with the more complicated ones. (the images on my page are really old btw).
What would you do about a teacher you feel isn't very good?
