Hairdresser Lists Four Things She Can’t Stand Clients Doing In Brutally Honest Rant
A hairdresser has gone viral on TikTok after listing the four ‘icks’ she can’t stand clients doing while they’re in the chair.
Most of us are one of two people – you either love or hate going to the hairdressers.
Some treat it as a luxury experience, an hour or so for yourself that usually comes as a rarity, but others find the appointment a bit of a nuisance that’s simply part of life.
Hairdressers do far more than cut and style hair, in fact, they’re probably some of the best therapists, advice-givers, and so on.
Due to the conversational nature of salon work, clients often confide personal issues in their stylists, who in turn can provide a listening ear and offer support.
But Emily Pytel has stirred up the world of hairstyling after sharing a brutally honest video on TikTok.
In her post, the cosmetologist goes through the customer ‘icks’ that can be frustrating for hairdressers during appointments.
And she did not hold back.
Pytel’s honest revelations have ignited a heated debate on salon etiquette and the often misunderstood dynamics between stylists and their clients.
Reacting to Pytel’s video, one TikToker said: “Not going to lie, this gave me more anxieties and insecurities around going to a salon, I am always worried they are judging me.”
A second commented: “This is why I color my own hair. I don’t want to get judged for doing something wrong lol.”
Following the viral clip, Pytel appeared on Daily Blast Live after many people were left offended by the video.
Responding to the viral TikTok’s reaction, she said: “Some people took it the wrong way, I love what I do.”
So, let’s find out why Pytel’s video has ignited such comments by taking a look at the four ‘icks’:
1. Dirty hair
Pytel’s first and perhaps most contentious point addresses clients arriving with unwashed hair.
In the viral video, the hairdresser firmly said: “When a client comes to me with super dirty hair, just no.”
Elaborating, she added: “We don’t want to touch your dirty hair but it’s also not good for your color, it doesn’t take as well.”
This revelation has surprised many viewers, as conflicting advice has circulated for years about the ideal state of hair for coloring appointments.
The confusion is evident in the comments, as one viewer shared: “I was always told to get your hair colored with dirty hair.”
However, some commenters sided with Pytel, as another person said: “Once my hair was filthy and I asked my stylist last time and she said day-old hair is only for styling, otherwise come with it clean.”
2. Eye contact
Pytel’s second ‘ick’ addresses a common yet often overlooked faux pas during hair washing.
“Don’t do that, it is awkward for everybody – just close your eyes,” she advised, referring to clients who make eye contact as their hair is shampooed.
3. Rudeness
The third point on Pytel’s list touches on punctuality and consideration.
The hairstylist explained: “When you show up late but you have a coffee in your hand and don’t have one for us. We love coffee too and we need the caffeine to do your hair.”
This comment in particular sparked a debate among viewers, with some pushing back against this expectation: “I am not bringing coffee for someone I don’t know.”
In agreement, another added: “Get your own coffee, but I get it is annoying when people are late.”
4. Turning your head
Pytel’s final ‘ick’ addresses a habit many clients might not realize is problematic.
She said: “When you are in our chair and we turn our chair and the head looks back at the mirror, please don’t do that because there is a reason we are turning your chair.”
Are you guilty of any of these ‘icks’?
