I personally don't have time to just sit in someone's shop for hours. That's a waste of productive time. Anyway, I have done it in the past when I was in school and now that I am out I choose not to do it again. What's up with the stylists who hold personal telephone conversations, gossip, or eat while doing someone's hair? It's
very unprofessional. I now choose to go to more professional establishments where customer service matters as much as the results of your hair.
Soror Akatude, I feel you on the clients who want to "squeezed in". What's up with that? If I have made my appointment and made sure that I arrive on time (even earlier) I can't even see my stylist "squeezing" someone in before me. I would get up and walk out!!
Here is one way that stylists try to get over. They will take you back and shampoo you and put conditioner on and make you wait. They wet your hair so that you won't go anywhere. There will be about 4-5 women sitting around with wet hair. The wait could be so long that your hair will air dry and have to be sprayed wet again!
