Ladies...(And Gentlemen)...Need Your Feedback with Regards to Salon/Stylist Manners?

To make this short and to the point, I found a stylist via a commercial. Liked what I saw and called for my appointment. This was 8 months ago. Well, I am a very generous tipper. The stylist I was going to was struggling, yet she did a fantastic job with styling and treating hair. So I felt she was worthy of a nice tip. At any rate,over time, I felt as if that was what she was expecting from me each time I made appointments. So, in the end, I decided to do some watchful waiting. She would try to sell me these package deals with each visit (for example, the package would cost $350.00-$500.00 which would be good for anywhere between 3-5 months of service). So when you went for your appointment, you wouldn't pay the fees. I still tipped generously (sometimes up to $100). I finally declined her offer. She then goes on to say that I should make weekly appointments. I also kindly declined. Next, she moves on to say that I should try new conditioning products on my hair (my hair is very healthy and medium in length). I gave in and she charged me a crap load for trying out this new conditioner. I said to myself ';That's it.'; In the end, I told her I would no longer be coming to her studio. She says ';You need a special shampoo/conditioner that we only sell';. I never went back, Was she money hungry Fellow Yahoo'ers?

Money hungry is a nice word....yes


When people work in a salon they are there to push products...so the salon will make money but some go to far...they get very greedy...especially when they think they have a customer that will always tip very well....and beyond


I'm sure the word has gotten out to all of her friends about this great tipper she has.....It's sad for there to people out in this world that take advantage of others .....and, you meet one


You have done the right thing for you by saying enough !!......And in the long run of things she will find out the hard way of the great customer...she use to have....Good for You !!Ladies...(And Gentlemen)...Need Your Feedback with Regards to Salon/Stylist Manners?
Having a little experience with work in restaurants, if you're a great tipper, workers, of course, will remember you and will probably treat you a lot better than they treat other customers. Tipping is your choice, and while we love great tips, money makes people greedy, so I suggest that you cut down on the amount you tip people.
wow. thats all i have to say.


just wow.
