What Bugs Stylists?
What customers do: In the age of cell phones, laptops and BlackBerrys, customers do too much in the stylist’s chair. But they may not know how much it bothers the stylists. What salon staff wants you to do: Be on time. Don’t cancel within 24 hours of your appointment. Don’t show up so sick that you are coughing throughout the haircut. And don’t sit glued to your cell phones, laptops and BlackBerrys. Your body has to be in the right position for a good haircut. Sit up and face forward ‑- no hunching over a keypad or magazine. What if you feel like just zoning out and not talking? No problem, stylists say. They understand that some people just want to chill and get pampered. And if you snooze during the hair-coloring process, so be it.
