Dear New Hairdresser-Type person

Dear New Hairdresser-Type Person,

I know it's a totally trivial thing, but it is my hair.

I don't style it often, I don't use a flat iron, I barely even bother blow drying it unless I have to be somewhere important in less than an hour or two. But I do pay a good amount of money once a month or two, to have a professional make my hair whatever shade of red currently strikes my fancy.

Since the beginning of the year, that fancy has also involved several panels of unnatural blonde.

I know it isn't natural looking, neither is the shade of red I prefer (at the moment), but that's all right because I LIKE IT THAT WAY.

Seriously.

So, if I show up at your place of business with a notecard from my last hairdresser specifically giving you the formula she used on my hair, with the product names that I know you use because that's why I chose your establishment in the first place, why do you immediately give me the bitch face?

Why do you start insulting the work my last hairdresser did, saying the blonde is too much for my color, the red is off, etc... Knowing that this is the coloring I have not only lived with since my last appointment in Oklahoma two months ago, but I most likely approved of in the first place? I really liked my last hairdresser, so your badmouthing her did nothing to endear you to me to start with.

Then, when I say I want all over color to refresh the red, and root touch ups on the panels, why do you then tell me "You don't have all over red and we don't need to do the blonde yet, no one will notice if the roots are red."

Yes. I am a redhead. You know how I know that? BECAUSE I PAY SOMEONE TO MAKE ME A REDHEAD EVERY FUCKING MONTH, YOU MORON.

I was uncomfortable in your establishment. You made me uncomfortable, with your talk of God not granting children to people until they're ready so I just need to wait a bit longer and then my husband and I will surely be blessed (WTF? I'm getting my hair done, I don't want to hear about how my not having children is obviously some sort of punishment thing from God, you don't know me, you don't know why I haven't spawned, Fuck Off).

I let you touch up my roots because they needed it, and you were all smirky that you managed to match the color. I should fucking hope so, I gave you the fucking formula.

Oh, and my blonde? Looks like ass with dark roots. Thanks.

And the product you recommended to help with the frizzies and "damaged hair"? Worst slop I've ever had the misfortune to put on my head.

I need to find a new place to get my hair done.

Die in a fire,

Miah
