Lack of People Skills

I can't fully understand people and their thought process sometimes. Quite frankly, don't ask me what I think about something, if you are just going to shoot down my opinion and try to justify your stupidity with only MORE stupidity, then you're best bet is to just take a seat and shut the hell up.

As some people in and out of my life throughout the past and current, while i think most of you are complete and utter dingdongs, I have learned a lot from you all. And that is to never let myself become as delusional and self absorbed and you. And because of that, I will continue on my merry way with a thick skin, and intend on owning and running a very successful business, not just salon, but a BUSINESS. My industry is more than painting hair with fun colors, and playing with scissors, it's about channeling that inner creativity that most people are too scared to allow the public to see. It takes knowledge, patience, bravery, and structure to be a great hairdresser. Having experience is a fantastic thing in this industry...BUT...25 years as a licensed hair dresser, does need mean you've been doing 25 years of good hair. When i talk to hairdressers who throw out the "Well I've been doing this for 3478765 years"....then show me you've been doing it that long. If you've been a hairdresser for 20+ years, and you're going to play that card whenever someone questions you, then your work better show 20+ years. You cant play the "experience" card, when you've done NOTHING or don't care enough, with that 20+ years, therefor....as I said above, take a seat and shut the hell up. While don't get me wrong, I have an absolute blast doing what I do, but I take my profession very serious.

Over the passed few days, I'm starting to analyze different hairdressers, anywhere from online to day to day in the salon. And I can honestly say, I'm offended. Get serious or get out. A salon is a team, and if 10% of that team is goofing off, not caring, then eventually that 10% of people will sour your salon. Remember, all it takes is 1 unhappy customer, to walk out and spread the word to 467853367 potential clients, who you and your team will never get to meet. Pick out the bad apples, and move on...

...if one of those bad apples is your boss, then maybe it's time for you to move on...

.....ohhhhhhhhh my life.
