Why would gay have the upper hand?

I know I have heard clients comment on "gay" stylists and how energetic they are..flamboyant..etc. Maybe that is what you are asking? Other than that, I do not see a difference in being a straight stylists or a gay stylists.

I my opinion there is no difference.  Its just a stereotype.  Just like the notion that men whether gay or straight are better than women.

Oh and another thing, not all gay stylists are flamboyant or effiminate.  In my opinion men and women whether straight or gay can be great at doing hair.

In my humble opinion (ok not so humble ) women go to men stylists (does not matter if they are gay or not) simply because a man is taking the time and giving them ATTENTION that they are not getting at home....i work with a straight guy, and the women flock to him ...he is good at what he does, and he is sympathetic to their circumstances, and he LISTENS to them......the women will tell him all of their problems (yes my clients tell me theirs too) but a man putting his hands in your hair if you are a woman and tellling you you look great is something that no female stylist will ever be able to do with the same results !!!  Male stylists use their maleness as a definite advantage, even if they are gay......how many women out their don't like for a man to tell them how great they look, and pamper them and listen to them??????

Dear Salondiva-

I have noticed a lot of post being duplicated, and it has done the same to me.  When you click post - it does nothing.......kinda gets stuck.  I have been deleting multiple posts, and I did yours.  I just want everyone to know I am going to report the problem.  Thanks for understanding.

Optikad,

Very interesting post.  I am a career hobbiest.  I cut my family and friends hair all the time.  Whenever I am at a social event and people see my wife their eyes light up at her and they ask where she gets her hair done?  She tells them me and I get a whole lot of attention!  Anyway,  I am just about to sign the dotted line to get my education.  However, I am 40 years old and have a successful business career and family.  I need to know if there is a more productive way.  I am not interested in nails or make up.  I could do hair any day anytime.  I am tireless.  Sorry if I offend anyone.  You should all be commended foryour dedication.

Let me know if you have any ideas!!
