I work in a hair salon.....
Just your average inner city salon, not a poncy you'll-be-charged-5-times-more-because-we-are in-the-city-centre-and-flip-our-scissors-about-abit-to-make-us-look-competent-and-justify-the-charge-salon. We dont get up to half of the rancid things all you other b3tans get up to. We do though;
Make the colour up out of whatever bits of left over colour are close enough to what it says on the record card, as we cant be bothered to walk down to the stock cupboard and get the correct colour.
Tell people we cant fit them in if they look like rancid tramps and are asking for something that doesnt require a hair wash first.
If a junior is making coffee for a client they dont like, they rinse the spoon in the mop bucket of dirty water first.
We talk about the clients when we go into the staff room, even if we have just been told something in confidence.
We send juniors out to get our shopping so we dont have to go after work.
We say a cut wouldnt suit your face shape if it will take more than our allocated half hour to cut, instead we will suggest a funkier (quicker) cut to flatter.
We do, however, work extremely hard, for hardly any money.
