Chopped!
While cutting a client’s hair, my boss told me I needed to use the thinning shears. As she went to demonstrate, she picked up the hair at the crown and chopped it right off! Oops—she had scissors, NOT the thinners in her hand. That was a long time ago, but I always check what’s in my hand before cutting.

I’ll never forget the time my instructor clipped a weft of hair to his facial hair and walked around like Iggy Pop ALL DAY!!

Now You See Her…Now You Don’t!
I’ll never forget the time I fell off the chair at the front desk—my butt hit the floor and my back scraped the chair! How humiliating!!

Pranksters!
While I was managing a large salon, my staff decided to pull a trick on me. They broke into my office with a mannequin head and set it up like a real person sitting in my chair. In the morning, I opened my office door, turned on the light and screamed so loudly, people could hear me through the entire mall! To top it off, two days later, my staff did the same thing in the wax room and stupid me fell for it again! To this day, I still get made fun of about it.

Dirty Karaoke
One of my friends would sing into her curling iron and tell clients we were having a “sperm” sale! Hilarious.

Stick Stickly
A client once asked me if I could make him look like the STICK FIGURE he drew of himself! I had no idea how to respond to that!

Baby, You Can Call Me…Paul?
When introducing myself to a client, I accidentally said my name was Paul…which was his name. I was embarrassed, but to ease the tension, I called him Lauren for the rest of the haircut!

Roots. Not Just for Trees.
I’ve had many clients say their hair grows from the ends and not the roots—and that includes clients who get their hair colored and come back to me with outgrowth! And they say hairdressers are dumb. Hello!!

Service Not Required
A client came in wanting a service. When I volunteered, she said, “Not with your bright hair you can’t!” I didn’t get it—I only had blonde highlights!!
