Is it rude to switch hairdressers who work in the same salon?

So I had this hairdresser who did my hair three times, I really liked her. Then I went to go make my fourth appointment with her, but she was unavailable and I had to wait like a month if I wanted her. So then I told the receptionist just to put me with another hairdresser because I couldn't wait that long.





Then a couple of months later to make my fifth appointment, I asked for the second hairdresser because she did my hair last and I liked her as well. But that time, my original hairdresser was working and she didn't say anything to me. I feel really bad.....is it rude to switch hairdressers who work in the same salon? I don't want to switch salons either because they're the only ones who use Aveda products which I really like. Plus I live in a small town and there's not much salons to choose from.Is it rude to switch hairdressers who work in the same salon?
You owe it to yourself to go to the stylist who did the BEST job on your hair. It is your hard-earned money you are spending and you deserve to get the most for it.





It is not like you had a long-standing relationship with the first stylist, I am sure this is not the only time this has or will happen in their career. It was rude of the first stylist not to even speak to you, unprofessional too. Go to the stylist you like best with a clear conscience. If the first stylist is too rude to even speak to you because you went to another sylist, she does not deserve your business and you made the right choice.Is it rude to switch hairdressers who work in the same salon?
Absolutely not. You are paying for a service and you have the right to chose which hairdresser you want. You also do not owe the hairdresser and explaination. If the hairdresser says something rude to you I would immediately take it up with the salon manager. Like I said, you are the one paying for the service and you should get exactly what you want.
People switch all the time. Sometimes their tastes change, sometimes a hairdresser will be in a ';slump';.





Most hairdressers will not care, but you could ask them.





Its your money, you have every right to spend it where you want to spend it.
It wasn't your fault that your hairdresser was unavailable. I wouldn't worry about it. If she doesn't speak to you, then that's one less person that you have to speak to. I think it was rude of her not to speak. If I was her I would have at least said Hello. That's how you keep your customers. She has a bad attitude.
I'm not sure if it's rude, but you probably hurt the first ones feelings a little. But it's your hair so I wouldn't worry too much about it.





Be nice to both of them and if it ever comes up tell the first one it was a matter of timing and nothing personal.





But keep it in perspective, these folks work for you and they are not friends, so the level of courtesy changes a bit.





Good luck,

I did this twice. The first stylist was one of the owners. She had a baby and was gone awhile. I tried two others in the salon one time each and stayed with the third one I tried. I felt bad too, but it came down to who did my hair best, not that the others were bad stylist. I still make sure I say hi to the others if they are there. It was a little awkward at first, but I didn't want them thinking I was mad or upset with them
I would offer an explanation, and let her know that basically I am going to her, because she can fit me in when I need my hair styled. she should understand, and she hold it against you, but she may not. Let her know that you couldn't wait a month for her schedule to open up.
Normally it is rude. But in your case, you have been pushed to do that. I say go for it--switch hairdressers! And when you go, just smile at her and look away. A nice tip will let her know what she missed. If she's missing so much work, I think she'll be out of there soon anyways.
It does seem rude, but I have done it before. I mean if she wasn't available she wasn't available - that doesn't erase the fact that your hair needed to be done. I say business is business, so don't worry about it.
No lol i think if her schedule was full and you needed A Hair-do you shouldn't feel bad about switching and also matbe you should go back to the first one and explain if you think she's angry/ Upset.


I Hope I Helped


*=D
well her schedule wasnt available. why should she get upset? shows that u liked her salon enough to keep coming back even if she cant accomodate you.
I hear what you are saying. I've been there. I'm in that situation now. My mom and I go to the same salon at the same time. I switched hair stylists this past time so we could get our hair done together and didn't have to wait for the other one. I felt kind of bad but you got to do what you got to do. The original stylist I went to still works there. The one that did my hair for my wedding doesn't work when I go and she was a bit upset that I wouldn't change my schedule. But oh well. She's great but I'm not going to bust my butt going on a day or night that's not convenient for me to please her.





My point is that things happen and stylists shouldn't say anything about it unless the person complained about what they did. My mom doesn't like one of the stylists and I told one of the salon stylists. She did my hair at least twice and I thought she was good. To each his or her own.
