You could always ask them not to, you know. I pass on it every time.
I went to get my hair cut at a place that advertised “haircuts for men”. The entire time I was in the chair the stylist was pushing this or that product, really being agressive about it. It must be popular, at least she said these products were used by 98% of the men who visited. I stopped her from putting the slop in my hair, but she really didn’t like it. I suspect there was a manager somewhere pushing these poor people to sell product, so I was just polite. And I never went back.
I’d nane and shame the company so it could be avoided, but they went out of business less than a year after opening.
Yeah, don’t they ask before putting those things in your hair?
Requires the same amount of energy to say yes as it is to say no.
Should they ask? Yes. Do they always? No.
When I went to my German hair guy in the 90s (who was awesome, cheers Jürgen Schneider wherever you are), I didn’t need a shower. He was THAT good, he brushed every little hair on my neck away and used a warm towel for the rest. The best: that chad wasn’t even expensive, when I told him, I haven’t got the money this time - I was a student - he did it just for the fun of it, but then he tested things on me. Hilarious! One time: imagine bleached blonde hair, colored straw yellow, chaotic, about 2 inches, with multi color longer strains in red, green, blue etc I looked like a cockatoo with a cooking show. Loved it! Ah the 90s.
Why go home and immediately take a shower? I go to places that wash my hair after my cut so I don’t have to go home and shower.
I want someone to keep them touching me to an absolute minimum so them washing it absolutely not happening.
Knowing I’ll never put in the product this haircut requires
Even if… they are just showing you a way to style it.
One could simply shower before being in close contact with another person.
I shower before and after I get my haircut. I’ll shower sfter my haircut and somehow still end up finding stray cut hairs.
Same. Also i wash my hair like 3 times before because one time the lady said her clippers wouldn’t go through my hair because it was too dirty and she had to shampoo it first (even though I showered like 30 minutes ago). I think she was trying to sell me shampoo because she was pushing it even before that but the whole experience was embarrassing as fuck so now I have to worry about that every time I need to get it cut.
Nothing more motivating than embarrassment, that’ll be a tough one to shake, might as well just accept your tic.
Yeah that happened like 5 years ago and I’m still fucked up by it. I went after work 2 haircuts ago and it had me so paranoid because I had only showered like 8 hours ago.
