Very often in blogs and professional forums of hairdressers I see persistent exhortations in the style of "If you have been unsuccessfully painted/trimmed, do not go silently, do not pay money, demand to remake everything, etc.". Next, there are usually excerpts from the law on consumer protection, samples of applications to the director of the salon, etc.
The advice, of course, is excellent. But it does not take into account 3 important nuances.
First of all, a woman who is "don't understand what" is in a state of shock from breaking her own expectations and reality, and is often unable to respond adequately.
It is good if she has an inappropriate reaction in the form of violent disturbances or even tears. But more often than not, people just pay the money in silence and quietly crawl home from the salon, the emotional "return" in this case is already on the way or at home.
And I am the same. As far as I'm concerned, I've also been shocked to go home many times, paying for a job worth shooting for.
Second. A person who has just experienced the "qualification" of a master who has made a mess on his head, has quite reasonable, in my opinion, fears about what the same person will do more.
If he did not have the knowledge and skills to make out of normal hair what they asked for, what would he arrange for the "alteration" of the shortcomings, and even angry conflict situation?
And lastly. Not always even significant shortcomings in the work of a layman can be seen immediately. Quite often they are found after the first wash of the house.
For example, you have thick, thick hair, and when you cut it profiled "in the meat" to "better lie". After styling and brushing hair may look like nothing, but after you wash and dry the hair at home, the "quality" of the work will become obvious - the hair will be "staked", they will not be styled, the ends will "cling" to the comb, etc.
Another option - you were dyed blonde and you came out of the hairdresser's beautiful shade of "cold beige", your hair was shiny, soft and obedient. After the first wash, they looked like a sponge, and the color was uneven or dirty yellow.
After that, of course, you can go scandalous in the salon, but even in the unlikely event that you get your money back for poorly done work, your hair will not get better.
Another advice "from this opera", also found quite often on the forums on coloring (that professional that "amateur"), is "look for a good master.
5 points! And how to find it? I remember one of the dialogues on the culinary forum:
"How much chicken to cook?
"How tired of stupid questions! Naturally, until ready!
"Will the chicken inform you about the readiness?
So here as well. Unfortunately, masters do not go to the forehead with the mark "good" or "bad".
Therefore, it is better not to lose control over the situation from the very beginning, and for this purpose, it is necessary to imagine, at least in general, what the master does to you.
As far as haircutting is concerned
Basically, two things matter:
- Mastery of the technique of correct hair-cutting;
- quality of professional tools (scissors).
It is difficult for a non-professional to assess the level of skill. But with scissors, everything is simpler. Good hairdresser's scissors cost at least 10 000 p. and require careful care. If you cut your hair for 150 p. and when you cut your hair you hear a characteristic "crunch" of hair, it means that the hair is not so much cut as broken by blunt blades.
A little bit about filtration and razor
Skillful work with filirovochnymi scissors not in vain is considered the top of hairdresser's art.
Only a few masters have good scissors and know how to handle them competently.
It is with filirovochnymi scissors that you can spoil your hair so much that even an experienced master then can not fix anything.
It is necessary to understand that filirovochnye scissors have invented for the convenience of work of the hairdresser, and at all from sleepless nights with thoughts about the health of the hair of the client. Naturally, it is much faster and easier to "thin out" the hair with such scissors, but what will happen to them later?
At filirovaniya hair cut is not even, and oblique, more area of the section, because the hair begins to split much faster. And if the quality of the scissors themselves (and therefore the quality of the cut) is far from high?
In addition, the hair is cut at different levels and in 90% of cases, even if the hair is healthy, it looks as if it has crossed over its entire length.
Not being absolutely confident in the professionalism of the master (and true professionals believe that the hair is longer than 5 cm and the branching - things incompatible) from the branching is better to give up at all.
Razor... The problem with them is the same as with blunt scissors, with the only difference that blunting the razor is much easier and faster. In addition, the method of shaving with a razor usually involves "thinning", and to put it simply, the hair just rips through the entire length with micro-narrows on the blades.
Everything changes...
