Bad haircut experience

Clarifying is totally okay once in a while, especially if you've had an accidental run-in with a silicone product or what have you! If it feels dryer than usual, use a bit more conditioner next time to balance it back out.

I would absolutely say something, because I think, "What will she do to the next person who tells her no?"

As a professional, its her job to listen to your needs, requests and allow you to express concerns. She talked down to you and immediately dismissed your request to not have your hair brushed while dry. I'd like to think I'd yell and walk out at this point, but that experience can be paralyzingly humiliating and you just want to 'get it over with'.

You're trusting your appearance and a lot of the time, self confidence with a person who could not care less. No matter how or what you say, she's still getting paid for it so she doesn't have to care and that's a bad feeling. There are tons of great hairdressers (who listen) that would love to have her job. If I were her superior I would seriously ask her wtf, then do whatever I could to make it right.

As a client, you should get exactly what you ask and what you pay for. You're rightfully proud of your hair, have worn it with pride for years and just had some numbskull disregard all of your concerns and act against your requests on how to best care for it. What gives her the right!?!

I've absolutely had to stop seeing a hairdresser when she wouldn't stop bitching about my 'strange requests' like not brushing or using a curling iron and whining about my Deva products that I brought in myself to not inconvenience her!

Bad people don't realize they're completely replaceable. Good people work hard to make sure they're never replaced.
