Alright, let’s talk about this…hairdressing thing, you know, the stuff they do at the beauty shop. I ain’t no fancy expert, but I’ve seen a thing or two in my days, and let me tell ya, it ain’t just about cuttin’ hair no more.
First off, you gotta know what kind of hair you’re dealin’ with. Some folks got that straight, slippery hair, like a horse’s tail, you know? Then there’s the wavy kind, kinda like a river flowin’. But the real tricky ones, those are the curly ones. They got all them loops and twists, like a vine growin’ wild. Them fancy folks call it “3A” hair, “3B” hair… all sorts of names. But me? I just call it a pain in the butt if you don’t know how to handle it.
Now, these curly-haired gals, they gotta be careful. Washin’ that hair too much? Bad idea! Dries it right out, makes it all frizzy and lookin’ like a bird’s nest. Once a week, that’s all they need. Let them natural oils do their thing, make that hair strong and shiny. It’s like feedin’ the chickens; you don’t overfeed ’em, right? Same with the hair.
- Don’t wash curly hair too much. Once a week is good.
- Let the natural oils keep the hair healthy.
- Curly hair comes in different types, some tighter than others.
And speaking of curly hair, them curls ain’t all the same. Some are loose and loopy, others are tight little springs. You gotta know the difference, or you’ll end up makin’ a mess. It’s like plantin’ corn; you don’t plant it too close, or it won’t grow right. Same with them curls; you gotta treat ’em right, or they won’t look right.
But here’s the thing, it ain’t just about cuttin’ and washin’ no more. These young folks, they got all these fancy gadgets and machines now. They call it “tech,” like short for “technology,” I guess. It’s like them tractors they use on the farm now; they do everything faster and better than the old ways.
This “tech” stuff, it helps the hairdressers do their job better, I reckon. They got these computers and phones, and they use ‘em to find new customers and keep the old ones happy. They show off their fancy haircuts on the internet, and folks come from miles around to get their hair done. It’s like sellin’ eggs at the market; you gotta show folks what you got, or they won’t buy nothin’.
They also use these fancy machines to style hair, make it all poofy or curly or whatever them young folks want. It’s like bakin’ a cake; you need the right tools and the right recipe to make it come out good.
And get this, they even got programs that help them figure out what kind of haircut would look best on ya. You just upload a picture of yourself, and the computer does the rest. It’s like magic, I tell ya! But it ain’t really magic, it’s just that “tech” stuff again. It’s like them weather reports on the TV; they ain’t always right, but they give you a pretty good idea of what to expect.
So, if you’re a hairdresser, you gotta keep up with all this newfangled stuff. You can’t just rely on your scissors and comb no more. You gotta learn how to use the “tech,” or you’ll get left behind. It’s like learnin’ how to drive a car; you can’t just stick with the horse and buggy forever, can ya?
But even with all this fancy “tech,” you still gotta know how to treat people right. You gotta listen to what they want and make them feel comfortable. It’s like bein’ a good neighbor; you gotta be friendly and helpful, or nobody will want to have anything to do with ya. Hairdressing ain’t just about hair, it’s about people. You gotta make ’em feel good about themselves, inside and out.
So that’s what I know about this hairdressin’ business. It’s a mix of the old and the new, the simple and the complicated. But in the end, it’s all about makin’ people look and feel their best. And that’s somethin’ that’ll never go out of style, no matter how fancy the “tech” gets.
