Limit 4 of each per customer. Ends Nov. Save Now Save Now. Deck the Halls with Beauty from your Favorite Brands. Lol ok. But you do you, if you like your hair to look like you put shoe polish on it, so be it. I moved four years ago. Yes, knowledge and skills, especially a good eye and an artistic flair, are important. A holier-than-thou attitude is not helpful to anybody.
Snippy posts or snippy service — they turn me off. Most of us are actually really nice, down to earth individuals that truly enjoy helping people feel beautiful. We enjoy getting to know you over the years and building lasting client relationships. I learned to bring in a photo if this particular cut matters that much. I am a hairdresser for over 30 yrs. What a giant help they are for us as well.
I can pick up items close to home. So convenient. My clients ask about items they can buy there. There is room enough for everyone. Paul Mitchell, etc. That is what we are for. I do not like or use their chemical products, but they are great for things like bowls, brushes, capes, etc.
This article was written around the main idea that people go there for hair color and do not know how to formulate or how to use the products properly. Hi I just wanted put in my 2 cents on the matter so my dad story goes like this: i started out going to a pro when i first went blonde and OMG I loved it never have I felt better about myself so after I went back a couple of times I too felt like I could do this to my own hair at home so I went to sallys mind you I have super fine light ash brown baby fine hair so I do my hair for a while with good results not perfect but I felt it was better than having to pay an arm and s leg well no I say better to pay an arm then to loose all your hair!
Bless your heart sweetheart. Ironic how those who judge are a joke themselves. Also to reply to some of the above points… Yes it is a health risk to do your hair incorrectly. But the ratio of the ingredients are not the same, and it performs vastly different from how the legitimately professional versions of these products do.
Just try to be smart about it, do your research, and maybe try a stylist once or twice and ask them questions! I personally only use Sallys. I have gone to Sallys for over a decade for all my purchases.
They have always had at least one licensed hairdresser at the store. They were very helpful and even added to my own personal knowledge and recommended salons. After several botched attempts by different stylists at different expieriance levels. I honestly would go to salons if they dropped their ego and actually listened to their clients. This is why salons hate Sallys imo.
They see it as a place they loose their money, rather than their failure to take care of their clients. I agree with Amanda. Rather a snotty answer, yours…. Finding the right hairstylist is no different than finding the best restaurant, doctor, lawyer, plumber, etc. If you take the time to research, ask questions, and schedule a consultation before your service then you will be happy with the outcome. Maybe you should become an English teacher so you can spend your day correcting other peoples mistakes.
If this concept would be understood I think it would bring better understanding to gen public. We have worked our asses off to be where we are today.
I have several clients who prior to coming to me, had either tried at home or just got an uneducated stylist. Its like this, I paid my dues via crappy jiffy cut salons and one internship and a lot of trial and error.
I didnt learn what I should have in school because, well, in hindsight, was a crap school. Schools today now are freaking on point. Theres repackaging as well. You have some Pureology you bought at walgreens? Guess what? Ive seen some amazing DIY outcomes and I encourage them to go to school.
WE as stylists have a right to hold ourselves in the manner we do. Those who are jaded because they prooooobably went to cheap ass salon and got what they paid for cant call an ENTIRE industry bullshit and arrogant. You have two options: do your own hair or keep going to crap salons. Well, there is always Instagram. You are right about that. I had an experience where the stylist did everything opposite of what was explained.
Hair was butchered. Took a while to grow and trim from my mother to get that right. We get products from Sally beauty and are very satisfied with what we use. Now this can happen once in a while and it doesnt mean everyone screws up. Just let people do what they feel and share knowledge only on what you know. You quite right. Good hairdressers are few and far between in Kelowna.
They charge exhaubetent prices to mess up your hair. I went to hair school as well. So I do believe what you say is quite rude and honestly belittling to our community. I thought we worked in the beauty industry and our job was to lift our people up, not down.
I have terrible mental health issues plus some that have placed me in said job. I know that my manager also took the program maybe about 12 years ago. Another coworker is an esthetician. We do our profession on the side as well.
We are required to have at least professionals throughout staff so we can teach the knowledge to other members properly! We are also equipped with monthly tablet teachings to keep us up to date with trends, products and so forth. The intensive program we go through before even getting hired is a brush up for myself, but good knowledge to other new staff who can absorb it. Repetition and the willingness to absorb the info will get you very far.
I mean quite honestly.. You were in the same position once, yes? Some people like to teach and some people like to do the said action. Nothing wrong with one or the other. Yes, Cosmo is our sister company. We are employees, sisters! A lot of these brands you use from Cosmo are sister companies to the brands you find at Sally Beauty. Get a grip. Let alone stylist. I find a lot of stylists once they reach a certain peak in their career they feel almost entitled and superior to all of those beneath them.
Talk about ego inflation. I hope the next time you post something on your high horse you remember where you came from. We all started from the bottom. I agree yes, some staff are undereducated. What do you honestly expect? They would do the same stuff going to a shoppers or london drugs, no? Also just to let you know we are not allowed to tell people what to buy or what to do, but give opinions and direction.
Your argument is the same as that of poor stylists vs. I really doubt it. Every post on my blog was inspired by my clients and readers.
Everything I write about came to mind because someone had a bad experience or issue with their hair, stylist, products etc. The reason why I started this website was to prevent others from making those same mistakes.
So call me whatever you want, but I help people for free everyday. Why do you think I should be upset with everyday beauty consumers? We get the same exact training on the tablet. And guess what! They know more about hair color than the majority of our customers. Customers like you are the ones we talk shit about lol. Come back down to earth sis!! Like you have to remember that not everyone can be professionally cared for, and some things are too cultural for good stylists to do.
The grunge scene and beauty was based in DIY, attempts from professionals are too glossy and perfect much of the time. Call us cheap and trashy, some might be hurt. First of all- I do not mock anyone for doing their own hair or using non-professional products.
I give them the best advice that I can to help them choose products, and provide step-by-step instructions if necessary. I e-mail or message them personally on Facebook to offer my time and advice. Are you proud of the looks you choose for yourself because you want to embrace a certain type of culture, or are you envious of those that pay for better?
Even the homeless can get their hair done for free. For example, my school in Virginia Beach invited women from local shelters to come in for free services to help prepare them for job interviews. What are you implying? Icons like Vidal Sassoon made the beauty industry what it is today and it has nothing to do with grunge.
People go to a salon for many reasons, and one of them is to get a look that they cannot achieve themselves. Why I write- I started this blog because after years of working in a salon I noticed a trend in the questions that clients of all classes- since you unnecessarily brought that up asked.
They wanted to know what they could do differently at home to style their hair better, make their color last longer, achieve volume as I did for them at the salon, etc. Not only that, but the prices are comparable with a lot of their products. People are paying similar prices for non-professional products and they are mislead to believe that the quality is the same.
You literally said every product they carry is crap. I think you can educate yourself and use sub par products correctly. I will say, I DID attend cosmetology school years ago and chose a different career path. Practice also helps. At the end of the day, education and personal preference is everything. I also want to add that Licensed Master Cosmetologist must continue their education in the specific areas in order to become a master or specialist in that area of cosmetology.
Receiving a Cosmetology or Master Cosmetology license only give you rights to serve in a professional business as a professional. You have the rights to perform certain services or use certain chemicals on the public. You are also trained to protect the public and yourself against diseases, by learning bacteriology and sanitation and other safety rules and regulations.
Continuous education is a must and required by state board. Specialists further their career and increase their earnings by investing in pro classes or schools. You can earn more money as a hair color specialist from companies such as Redken. Or you may invest in advanced hair cutting classes…. So if I have received a Redken advanced degree in color, I can charge more or serve the very elite clientele. If so, there is no way I would want to use products the public can purchase for a few dollars.
There is a difference in the results and those who have received better, knows the difference. Thanks so much for commenting! I guess the next step is to do comparative experiments! I am a member of the public. I was wondering with the differences between public and professional only. So thank you. Thank you! I would have rather paid a professional to do it but like I said no one would take me.
Those were also the days of apple pectin perms in cosmo junior n senior year. Do you remember when it changed? The big issue is with safety and lack of knowledge. It makes me sad when I see someone ruin their hair, and it happens so easily! It is frustrating that deposit only colors like Shades EQ are restricted, but I can buy a bleach box dye kit from any drugstore.
Companies are only worried about selling a product, but from my personal point of view, it is partly because of safety. The other reason is exclusivity for professionals. So I read almost every comment on here, including the article. There are some good points as well as questionable ones.
I have extensive knowledge in not only my profession but within the Beauty Industry. This by no means makes me an expert on everything beauty!! Nor do I claim I am. I say this because not all licenced Cosmetologist feel the same way you do on this subject! Did you know that professional salon products have less preservatives and more concentrated good ingredients, which gives them a 2yr shelf life. After 2yrs the ingredients breakdown like food does!
This breakdown becomes bacteria. In-turn doing nothen beneficial for your hair. On the Subject of not trusting a licenced professional because they now work at Sallys!!! It could bebdue to Carpol Tunnel Syndrome, or maybe they now have back issues! Some stylists develop allergies, over years and years in the salon they become allergic to chemicals they use. What if they wanted to somehow stay in the industry and they choose to work for a Supply company?
One last thing I wanted to comment about? This not only happens on grey hair, this can happen on pre-lightened hair also. On grey hair? As you stated From my experience my opinion, no offence to you 20 vol. Is what every professional color line recommends for coloring grey hair for the best coverage, plus as we know from color classes- 30vol lifts 3 levels then deposits color.
So why would you use 30 vol to lift 3levels on grey hair? Maybe you have knowledge about 30vol. Im unaware of? Hey in this profession you can ask 30 stylist how to do a particular color and you will get 30 different answers but all have the same end result.
