Stuff Clients Say That Makes Us Die Inside (But We Smile Anyway)

💀💇‍♀️ (Yes, we’re professionals. No, we’re not okay.)

1. “I just want a trim.”

👉 Then proceeds to show a photo of Kim K with 24-inch extensions, face-framing layers, and a fresh gloss. Sure, babe. Just a trim.

2. “I trust you—do whatever you want!”

👉 Five minutes later: “Wait, not too short. And not too light. And don’t touch my layers.” So… you trust me, but also… you don’t?

3. “My hair just doesn’t grow.”

👉 Sis, you flat iron it at 450° every day, bleach it at home, and haven’t trimmed it since 2018. Of course it doesn’t grow—it’s trying to survive.

4. “Can you match this color from a TikTok?”

👉 Absolutely. After you hand me her lighting setup, editing app, filter settings, and the hair history of a 19-year-old with virgin hair.

5. “My friend said she’d do it for $40.”

👉 Cool cool cool. Let her. And when it turns orange, I’ll fix it—for $300.

6. “Is this going to take long?”

👉 You booked a balayage, color correction, cut, and style… with a coffee in one hand and a toddler in the other. Ma’am… yes.

7. “I saw online I can do this with Kool-Aid and conditioner.”

👉 And I saw online I can give myself a root canal. Doesn’t mean I should.

8. “You’re so lucky—you get to stand and talk all day!”

👉 Lucky? My feet are screaming, my stomach hasn’t seen lunch, and I’ve heard six breakup stories today. But yes… so lucky 😅

We laugh, we cry (on the inside), but we do it with love… and really good shears.
