The trickiest situation is when you want to change hair stylists within the salon. If you think of your hair stylist as your friend and want to avoid hurt feelings, being clear about what you want in advance—and noting what you don’t like immediately—can save the day. Otherwise, you’ll have to decide if you want to swap hairdressers or switch hair salons. If you really want to change hair stylists, try this:
- Tell your hair stylist that next time, you’d like to try Mary, and that you hope he or she won’t be offended.
- Explain why, and give your hairdresser a chance to right any wrong. You can also speak to the salon owner, asking him or her to smooth it over for you.
- Don’t simply make an appointment with someone else—you’ll risk having your regular hairdresser greet you at the door (where you’ll both feel embarrassed) or see you in another hair stylists chair later, which creates bad feelings.
Fortunately, many hair salons encourage hair stylist swaps, and ones with different pricing levels give you an easy out. Of course, if you start out by trying different hairdressers with each visit, it’ll be a lot easier, and you’ll simply be appreciated as a loyal salon client.
