We are a group of cosmetic scientists who understand what the chemicals used in cosmetics really do, how products are tested, and what all the advertising means.

I agree, I should just gather my courage and say "NO," and I'm usually very plainspoken, but my guts turn to mush when someone is standing over me with a pair of shears. I also might change stylists, but I've already been butchered by 4 bad ones in the past 2 years while growing my hair out from a very short cut. Aveda-Woman is the first stylist I've found who understands what I want and is working with me on it. It's just the salesmanship that turns me off. I have an appt on Saturday and will somehow find a way to stand my ground. The scent thing might just work! :) Well, here I am a few days late to say thanks to Sarah and everyone else who commented!

It's idiots like this that give the rest of us a bad rep, and tell the owner why you're going because they are usually behind such behaviour. When I worked in a salon I would write down what I recommended so they had the choice to buy it from my salon or go elsewhere. This shows that it's about what is good for their hair, not my commission. Now I have my own mobile business, so all my clients get it wholesale, because it's all about what's good for their hair. Good luck Kelly. Dump them, dump them, dump them. It’s idiots like this that give the rest of us a bad rep, and tell the owner why you’re going because they are usually behind such behaviour.

It's great to get a little extra cash from selling products on commission, but when it risks losing you as a client... It sounds like she has her priorities a little more than backwards.

It's hard to tell them no sometimes -- and it can be hard to tell them no and then trust them to do a proper job on your hair. Trust is an important part of that relationship. I'd just find someone else. If there is anyone at work whose hair you like, you may want to ask them where they go. I’d just find another stylist.

You should not have to justify how you chose to spend your money nor should you have to compensate by giving a bigger tip. Personally I would find another stylist. You should not have to feel uncomfortable and getting a new do should be a good experience. Ask for recommendations from friends & co-workers for good salons/stylists.
