Does anyone experience second guessing every single client? I’ve been in the business 17 years, 13/14 of those actively behind the chair and every single work day I’m ruminating over something I wish I did differently. Today, it’s balayage around a hairline. I didn’t do her hairline any differently than usual, but I could have done it better. I know she wears her hair up all the time and I can’t stop imagining the worst. My imagination takes over until I’m in a panic. This happens every single work day recently. Last time it was, “i shouldn’t have placed the tape ins there” and the work day before it was something else. I take on unnecessary responsibility for damaged hair (that I did not damage) and I lose sleep and time with my kids researching and panic messaging hair influencers and educators.
I tell myself, it’s the clients responsibility to let me know if they are not happy with something and I go through worst case scenario to try to calm myself down but it’s not getting better. I’m also shocked that there isn’t a forum for hairdressers who panic???
And while we’re here, what is going on with Wella level 7 grey coverage? That’s another one that kills me lately.
