How come hair stylists/cutters can get away with not
following the directions of the customer?
I'm trying to think of another profession where
something like that happens. It would be
like if you went into your local diner and ordered
Steak medium rare and the chef decided you should
have fried chicken. Or it would be like you to
a house painter and hired him to paint your house
a light green but then came home the next day to
find the house painted a dark red. The customer
wouldn't not stand for that in either case so why
do they stand for it with hair stylists?
They don't. Most have a "we screw up, you don't pay" policy. And even the ones that don't aren't gonna say much if you blow up at them and storm out
I am lucky that I have a stylist that does a great job. She only trims what I want trimmed. If my hair has damage, she suggests that I trim a little more. She is very good and trims as little as possible.

I would never pay for poor service.

In a restaurant you can push away your ill prepared meal and walk away from it. You'd look silly if you complained then took the food home with you. You don't have that luxury when you get your hair cut/styled. It's more personal when you are having your hair done because the hair dresser usually tries to build some sort of rapport with you. Any friendly conversation from you prior to the cut may come across as disingenuous if you complain. Though I'd say you'd have every right to complain regardless!
Well this may seem a little different but weathermen aka meteorologists can be wrong many times but do they ever
get fired or wages withheld for poor service/forecasts?
At least that doesn't directly affect your hair unless
they say its going to be cool and dry but turns out to
be windy and rainy so your hair frizzes up!LOL.Anyway just thought I'd throw that one out for fun:)Cheers

As an amateur meteorologist I have to add several things:
1. When you're predicting the weather you're predicting
a future event.
2. meteorologists use very complex mathematical models using
thousands of variables. One variable off (like a lighter wind
or a stronger wind) and the forescast is shot.
3. Meteorologists are predicting the weather, not causing
it. If it's raining today the meteorologist is not making it rain.
For those who complain about meteorologists getting the forecast wrong I challenge them to put their forecasts out there so we
can see accurate they are. It's not as easy at it looks,
especially in winter when you have to predict where it will be
rain, where it will be snow, and how much snow will fall.

Lol, Mark, you have 'those' weather forecasters too eh? We have them, but to be fair we have a very 'changeable' climate over here.
cheers buddy

I've only had good experiences--when I went to my current length and style I took in pix on my iPod Touch and showed what I wanted and discussed the length, etc. What can happen is a "failure to communicate." Did you have a bad experience, LHiA??
I've had instances where I gave the hairstylist exact specifications of exactly what I wanted done down to the
exact measurement. They still do what they want anyways.
I had a really good person I went to, the place went out of
business and I haven't found a replacement yet.
