So why is I bend over backwards and some clients treat me like poop? I’ve waited two weeks for a client to pay me and she gives me a two dollar tip! Really? I waited two weeks for two extra dollars? Then, I made a special trip to the store to get shampoo and conditioner for a client and when I asked her to come pick it up she asked,” Can you come to my work and drop it off?”

NO!

mom! mom! mom! mom!

So as I was sitting at the front desk today answering phones (because we have no receptionist) a mother and four kids walk in. Immediately I think, ‘Great, I have a headache and this is going to make it worse!’ Well, I was right. As soon as they sat down it began.

“Mom she touching me!”
“Mom she’s coughing on me!”
“Moooooom!”(As one of them runs up and down the hallway seeing how hard she can stomp her feet.)

Shut up your annoying me!

Meanwhile, the 4-year old is n the bathroom putting paper towels in the toilet!  What does mom say? (in the quietest mom voice ever) “Girls, you should behave.”

PLEASE do not bring the devil spawn children back…EVER!

Happy Thanksgving from Tails of a Hairstylist

Happy Thanksgiving to all my readers… and future readers too. Hoping everyone was able to get into their stylists during this busy season. I was so busy I’m going to make dinner with a bottle or two of cranberry wine (and no, none of the recipes have wine in them… I will be drinking it!) So if you weren’t able to get into the salon – you can always wear a festive hat!

The salon was pretty slow but Fiona was expecting a client. Well her client stumbled in – and I do mean stumbled. It was 11 a.m. and she was sooooo drunk. She couldn’t see straight as she tripped over her own two feet and smelled like a bottle of Jack Daniels. She fell asleep for awhile as she was getting her hair highlighted.

Then she woke up and we asked ‘what’s going on?’ She said, “My husband just found out my real age – I’m turning 50.” So this means to get drunk and get your hair done?!?! I’m just glad she didn’t puke in the salon.

As I was doing the step-mother-of-the-groom’s hair today, she was complaining to me that she has to sit in the front row at the church with the mother of the groom and her new husband. I told her parents usually always sit in the front row – but she did not want to sit by the “former wife”.

After listening to her complain for THREE hours in the salon I said, “Suck it up! It’s not your day!” Why would you worry about such things?!?!?
