30 recognizable quotes during a visit to the hairdresser

Some time ago, I wrote about the very understandable frustrations of hairdressers, which they will never voice out loud to their lovely clients. Of course, customers also have their own irritations, for example when the salon suddenly asks for extra money for blow-drying the hair. In the end, you just pay that extra amount, because who goes out with a soaking wet hairstyle? Well, there are many more recognizable situations at the hairdresser that we can all relate to. The following statements are certainly not to be missed.. ‘Really just the tips, okay?’ (Yeah, yeah, we know that by now.).

1. ‘I have very straight hair and would like more volume.’ (The hairdresser can't suddenly create a full head from those three strands, but it's always worth a try.)

2. ‘Can you hold your head straight for a moment?’ (This is asked about 57 times.)

3. ‘What do you think I should do with my hair?’ (You'd better not ask this, because before you know it, you're being treated like a guinea pig.)

4. ‘But I really don’t want it too short.’ (YEAH.)

5. ‘I want a fringe, but I think I won’t dare.’ (When in doubt, don’t do it.)

6. ‘I want exactly the same hair color as the woman in this photo.’ (That’s never going to happen.)

7. ‘But this is not at all like the photo I showed?’ (Just stop with those Pinterest photos.)

8. ‘I just want a hairstyle that looks good as soon as I wake up.’ (That doesn’t exist, unless you cut it all off.)

9. ‘I’d like it dark, but not too dark.’ (Clear explanation.)

10. ‘I’d like it blonde, but not too blonde.’ (Again, clear.)

11. ‘I always comb it out from the bottom to the top.’ (Always showing off a bit in that hairdresser's chair.)

12. ‘Our intern will blow-dry it into shape shortly.’ (Bummer.)

13. ‘But how’s your love life going?’ (You already told that six weeks ago, but here you go again.)

14. ‘What would you like to do with your hair?’ (You pretend to think about it, but you already know.)

15. ‘I don’t think it looks that nice after all.’ (That’s just tough luck for you.)

16. ‘It’s really very short, isn’t it?’ (Unfortunately, there’s no going back.)

17. ‘Well, I really need to get used to it.’ (Others won’t even notice the difference.)

18. ‘Would you like something to drink?’ (Then you get tea while you have to keep your head still.)

19. ‘I’ll grab a mirror so you can see the back as well.’ (Always nice.)

20. ‘Are you happy with it?’ (If you’re not happy with it, then you’re out of luck again.)

21. ‘I really think it turned out very well.’ (The hairdresser is often very satisfied with the result themselves.)

22. ‘These are really the warm tones you just showed me.’ (The hairdresser tries to convince you that it somewhat resembles the color in your photos.)

23. ‘So I’ve discovered a really good product for my hair and it’s not even expensive!’ (No hairdresser is waiting for your tips from the Etos.)

24. ‘I just used this oil and hair mousse from you, could you add those?’ (I always get tricked with these kinds of things.)

25. ‘Cutting, coloring, and blow-drying plus this oil and hair mousse, that will be 488 euros please.’ (A gulp at the cash register.)

26. ‘Just add that oil then.’ (Otherwise, it will be a very expensive joke.)

27. ‘Drying or blow-drying?’ (I still don’t understand the difference.)

28. ‘Would you like to make a new appointment for six weeks from now?’ (Smart trick.)

29. ‘I’ll just make a new appointment online myself.’ (Stretching that regrowth as long as possible.)

30. ‘hairdresser does the hair of woman
