Why do hairdressers give hair advice to people who don't ask for it?

Hello.

I have a 'round face' and a fringe because it suits me but occasionally I get hairdressers who tell me I need to have my hair 'brushed off my face'. That way, they claim, it will make my face look longer and less chubby. I tell them that it wouldn't suit me and they argue that it would. Eventually I get a comb and comb it back and they usually say, "Oh, you're right."

Don't they realise that they are basically telling me that a) I have a chubby face and b) They don't like my hair and c) that they know what suits me better than I do.

If someone goes to a hairdressers and asks for advice, fine but to criticise people's hair thinking that you can correct 'the problem' may just hurt people.

Hairdressers, do you give unsolicited advice to people you meet?

Being a stylist myself, I have to tell you that I can relate. I consider myself to have a high forehead and have always worn bangs. However, another stylist kept insisting on a side bang, but I was 'stuck in a rut' because I'd always hid my forehead. She challenged me to wear the side bang for just 3 days... you can do anything for 3 days. I did and WOW at the compliments I got. I ended up keeping the side bang and am more open to trying new things.

So I challenge you for just 3 days (when you'll be seeing people-don't cheat LOL) and judge from their reaction. Sometimes what WE see in the mirror isn't the way others see us.

Let me know if you do it and how it turns out.

I quit going to hairdressers because they never do what Iwant. I learned how to do it all myself. Infact Last night I just darkend with my hair and put in highlights. I have gotten more compliments since I started doing it myself.

If you choose a hair style that doesn't fits you well. people that see you will blame the hair stylist not you, so the best publicity of a hairdresser it's their clienteles heads so if you look good you'll bring more clients to them. but next time go to a good one so they'll give you a better advise.

This is part of the reason why I do my own hair now. I do my own color, cuts, everything, and it looks great. I know exactly what I want, and I plan on being a hairdresser when I graduate I've found I like doing hair so much. I say just be careful get a good blending razor comb and do your next trim the way YOU want it.
