Does anyone else on here panic about clients hair after they've done it? Even though the client says they like it and re-book if I'm not entirely happy with it myself I worry for days. My husband thinks I'm mad.

What is it you worry about? Is it the confidence in your work? Your colour styling ? You consultation? You could go on a course and build up your confidence although we all have the few clients that even when we are confident can knock us down

Yeah I do! But mine is irrational things like the colour suddenly fades for no reason or the toner washes out and it goes a weird colour, or they hate it so much they go to another salon and they say my work is rubbish lol xxx

I think if you are a passionate hairdresser and really care about your work then you will worry. I'm sure every geek on here has worried about something. We're only human lol x

I think it's just cus I can be a bit of a perfectionist and want it to be right. I'm fanatical about matching sides. LOL

I feel that if you are worring to much you need to sit down and think about what exactly it is you are worried about. Write it down on paper and then write a how you can resolve each problem.
If you feel you need more education - go out and get it, I recommend this article by Lupe Voss “The fearless colorist“ The FEARLESS Colorist — Hair Color Magic
If you are worried the client doesn't like it, think what's the worst that can happern? In most circumstances you can change colour, no big deal.Even if someone doesn't like the colour it is not a personal thing, and you shouldn't take it personally.
If you are a perfectionist, that's great- I am too, but remember clients come to us because they want to feel great. We can look so far into the technical details of the colour, but as long as the client feels good you have done your job well.
One of my mottos is “if there is some thing you can change, there is no point in worring about it. And if its something you can't change, then there's nothing you can do so there's no point in worring about it!“
Whatever you do, don't do nothing. If there is something you want to change - do it. Be proactive and make a plan

Also if I see a client I haven't done in a while I take it really personally and get upset. Even though there could be so many easons like they couldn't afford it recently or a family member has done it or something like that!! Can't help but take it personally sometimes.
