Like any professional in any field, hairdressers know what is best for your hair. Believe. But we all also know that when we put some idea in our head and it involves a hair transformation, hardly anything will change our mind.
Who has never wanted or has a friend who has ever wanted to go from dark brown to platinum blonde in a touch of magic? You can't imagine how crazy this professional might have been for this mission. Here are 10 things your hairdresser tries to keep a secret but would love for you to know:
1. Delays Are Yes A Problem
If you were ten minutes late to the salon and your hairdresser said you had no problem, he was probably just being polite. The schedule of these professionals is very busy and a few minutes late affect all your day and your other clients. How about trying to be more punctual next time?
2. Photos are for references, not copies
I bet you already saved on that phone that cut of desire or that tone that was incredible in the hair of some famous and arrived all hopeful to show to your hairdresser. Great! So he can get an idea of what you are thinking for your hair change? and you can also tell if you can do it or not. Each hair is different and will never leave the salon just like the photo. In fact, it would be boring if all the hair were the same, wouldn't it?
3. Hairdressers can be territorialists
The hair is the frame of the face. Can you imagine the responsibility a professional needs to take to cope with this precious commodity? Is it natural that he doesn't want to? Share? Your customers' locks with other professionals, after all, the responsibility is in their hands, whether for mistakes or successes.

4. Lunch? They don't know what this is.
Since most people don't have much free time on their agenda, they often schedule their lunch time. And a hairdresser can't leave a client on hand. Taking an hour and a half of lunch is a luxury for those who work with it, the faster and more convenient the snack just to cover the stomach, the better.
5. Hairdressers are the worst clients
You must imagine how difficult it must be for a hairdresser to sit in another professional's chair. Each one has different techniques and knowing this can be a problem for those who understand hair. Don't be surprised if the person who takes care of your hair has a "normal" hairstyle, for those who can't trust another expert, the way is to be alone and get the basics right.
6. Your hairdresser need not have the same type of hair as yours
It's all a matter of study and practice. If you have straight blond hair, that doesn't mean your hairdresser will know how to take better care of your hair if she also has straight blond hair. Each professional chooses to specialize in a different type of hair or technique, and this has nothing to do with their own hair type. Always choose a professional with great recommendations, especially if this advice comes from someone who has already proven and approved.
7. Dye your hair in the salon is better and they know it.
Who never wanted to save money and bought any ink at the drugstore? Yes, it may be cheaper, but it is not always recommended. Hairdressers know exactly what processes they need to do to get their hair out of the salon looking like it came off the cover of the magazine. And that also includes the health of your hair.
8. They really want you to use the best product.
They don't just want to sell that most expensive line of daily care for their hair. They really care about the beauty and health of their hair. This will make you happier and their work is likely to be easier and more enjoyable if your hair is treated well outside the salon as well. Think about it carefully before you buy that cheap supermarket shampoo.

9. Hairdressers also have a personal life.
Looks like they wear a hairdressing mask that makes it impossible for us to see them as normal people, right? They breathe hair, talk about hair and even dream about hair, but they also do other things like all of us. And sometimes they even have time for a longer lunch!
10. Hair is part of who they are
Sounds obvious, but have you ever wondered how much hair these professionals find in their stuff? In clothes, shoes, bags and even food! This may seem disgusting to many people, but it is part of the profession and it can be quiet, they are used to it.
There are many pros and cons to this profession, but it is certainly very gratifying to see the smile on a client's face after hours of work and dedication. It is a profession that should be highly valued because it involves love and care for the darling of so many women: the hair!
