Have you ever wondered why some consumers put you “in a box” as soon as you tell them your work title? When I tell some people I'm a hairstylist, they seem to have already decided what I stand for and what my value for my SKILLS and KNOWLEDGE will be worth, because of what Susie or Joe may charge for theirs! Some make comments that are put-downs of my industry based on their perceptions of the hair-care industry. I'm not blowing my own horn, but I'm truly not a "Familiar Hairstylist" and I feel that so many of my fellow stylists and hair-care specialists aren't either. I also wonder if consumers know that there are some hairstylists that can put them in a "Familiar Box" but choose not to because of their commitment to professionalism. We will instead teach the presumptive consumer just how unfamiliar or uncommon we truly are—not the typical hairstylist. Let us, both consumer and hairstylist, be people-friendly and customer oriented with one another and make our relationship a WIN/WIN endeavor.
