When is it time to change hairdressers?

I ADORE my hairdresser, she does a lovely job. I have been aq customer for a while. However the last two times I have had appts she has doubled up her bookings and done several colors at once. Last time I actually got a little snippy because she had me sitting in a chair waiting for my cut and blow out for 56 minutes while she did 2 other cuts. Now she is never available. I work full time and the only times she can squeeze me in is on wednesdays at 2pm..which is almost always impossible, especially given her latest habit of doubling up, Im there for hours for my usualy cut and color.


In any case, I love her work, and she is a great gal, but she just does not have time for me as a client. How rude would it be for me to ask the salon owner to put me in with someone else? Especially because now I NEED a cut and color, and my usual stylist cant get me in for 3 weeks!When is it time to change hairdressers?
Explain your problem to your hairdresser, if she doesn't have a solution then change your hairdresser.When is it time to change hairdressers?
Switch now! That is rude of her to do. And to answer your main question, When is it time to change hairdressers? -When they mess up your hair....but in this case made you wait...hint hint!





Good luck! When she is waiting for you to come back, and you come through the door and she is standing there, you can say, ';i'm not here for you.'; That will make her mad, which will pay back for making you wait.
It wouldn't be rude at all. Especially since your hairstylist is overbooking herself, and can only ';squeeze'; you in, which in some cases, can easily end in Disaster. You don't always have to go the same hairstylist, and if she asks, Just tell her the reason why you decided to go to someone else.
The time is now.





You should switch now. There are many hair dressers out there who will learn your style and do your hair the way you like it, it wont be too long before you find an even better one that suits you better.





If you are really attached to the current one, perhaps tell her all of your issues, see if she changes and trys to keep you as a valued customer, otherwise, move on!
It's not rude at all. Just say you're very happy with her hairdressing skills ( it seems everybody is which is why she is so busy ) but time wise the situation just isn't working for you any more. You could mention it to the hairdresser as well as the salon owner.
Do you have confidence in any of the other hairdressers? If so, then go for it.





But I also suggest that you talk to your hairdresser. She may not realize or understand that her actions may cost her clients. It could be a new salon policy to double book her.
Since you are a long time client, it would seem like she would be more accommodating. Because my time is precious too, I would find someone else. If you there's another stylist in the salon, and you like his/her work, go to that person.
I don't think it would be rude. You may want to explain your time dilemma, and definitely make sure the other stylists in the same salon don't follow the same practices, or worse!
Change hairdresser
thats rude cut your hair yourself! d it all yourself diy is in
Honestly you should try finding someone else, but someone that's new and a good hairdresser. Them being new doesn't give them a whole lot of customers so you'll be able to get in very easily and something that will fit your schedule. It seems like your original hairdresser is getting a little to populated. If you don't want to switch hairdressers, or if you can't find anyone else you could always book your appointments way ahead of time. And if she tries to cut someone else's hair while you are there just tell her how it is.. you could be nice and just say you have somewhere to be and that you've had your appointment scheduled for a very long time. Hope my opinion helps you out a lot! Good luck with your hairdresser :)
