I’m a hairdresser and people say 3 annoying things when I do their hair…don’t be cheeky & ask for a discount for a start
A HAIRDRESSER has taken to social media to reveal the three things that people always say that really annoy hairstylists.
Kamra Conn, who posts on TikTok under the username @theconnartist shared a clip to the social media app, revealing the things that get on her nerves when doing someone’s hair.
She explained: “Things that people say that annoy hairstylists.”
First of all, the hairdresser explained that she finds it highly irritating when clients think they know loads about hair.
Pretending to be a customer, Kamra explained: “My grandmother was a hairdresser, so I feel like I’m kind of already an expert with hair.”
To this typical comment, Kamra wished she could respond: “My own kids know more about hair than the average Joe, but they’re still not experts.”
As well as this, the hair whizz explained that she finds it infuriating when people are cheeky and try to get a discount on their hair.
Acting out a common conversation, Kamra claimed that a customer would typically ask “so how much is it for a trim?” to which she would reply “oh, all my prices are listed right there.”
However, she then claimed that some rude clients would respond with “no, no, I don’t need a full haircut, just a trim.”
To this, Kamra wished she could say: “Well, if my scissors are touching your hair, it’s still a cut regardless of how much I cut off.”
Finally, the third thing that grinds Kamra’s gears, is when customers say that hairdressing isn’t a “real job.”
She claimed that customers have said to her: “So are you currently going to school, do you want a real job after this?”
To this rude question, Kamra explained: “Well actually, after serving four years of act-of-duty in the air force, I went on to complete an interior design program and then I decided that doing hair is what worked best for me and my family, so the short answer, no.”
Kamra’s clip has clearly impressed and shocked many, as it has racked up 364.6k views.
It has 572.4k likes, 809 comments and 2,414 shares.
Many hairdressers could relate to Kamra and were eager to express this in the comments.
One person said: “THE TRIM ONE IS ACCURATE.”
Another added: “The school thing always gets me.”
A third commented: “I love this! I am a hair stylist and have a four year degree in Business along with a Real Estate License. When people ask me that, I just laugh.”
Whilst someone else noted: “The one about knowing hair gets me every time! my boyfriend and sister know more and STILL come to me bc again…. not experts!”
