So what do you do when you have had the same hairdresser for the past 20 years and it’s time for a change? We create great relationships with our hairdressers and tell them a lot of personal information over the years, so it may feel like a marriage that is hard to leave. It’s okay to decide to move on. But just be honest to yourself and the hairdresser. Here are some guidelines:
Lawrence’s 5 Tips
1. Before packing in a relationship, give your hairdresser another try to make you happy. Ask for a new cut or a new look. If your hair is not to your liking, it may be possible to fix it. And anyone can make a mistake.
2. If you are unhappy with the work, you have an obligation to let the hairdresser know, especially if you have a long-term relationship.
3. If you are a person who has a hard time with confrontation, send your hairdresser a note explaining why you are leaving, and what they might do to change your mind.
4. If you are moving, let your hairdresser know where you are going, and ask for your color information. Also ask if they would be willing to talk to your new hairdresser in your new location.
5. If you are going to leave your hairdresser to go to another in the same salon, call and discuss this with the owner of the salon. Explain what has happened, to prevent hard feelings between you and the rest of the staff.
People change their hairdressers for many reasons. Most importantly, remember that it’s a small world and you don’t want to feel awkward when you meet the hairdresser in a different location or setting. Always be honest and cordial in respect to the past relationship you shared. Who knows? You may someday want to return to this hairdresser after finding that the grass was not so green on the other side!
