My Shampoo is Not Important
I got my hair trimmed last week. I’m not usually big on making small-talk with the stylist, and my trim was no exception. But, there’s the inevitable sales pitch near the end of the cut. ‘If you want, I could add some lowlights that would look great on you.’ and ‘We’ve got some nice shampoos on sale this week.’ I’m fine with brushing off add-on sales, but then the stylist decided to ask what kind of shampoo I use. I informed her that I often use generic shampoo, or whatever is cheap.
That answer didn’t go over very well with her.
She proceeded to ask me if I would buy a house that had a bad foundation and a leaky roof, as if to suggest that my shampoo brand has the same vital importance as the structural integrity of my home. I was so stunned I really didn’t answer her. I’m still rather baffled by the comparison. My shampoo is just not important.

I agree with you, shampoo is not that important. I use Herbal Essence which is pretty cheap my hairdresser doesn’t seem to have a problem with it. I can’t believe she turned it into such a huge thing. I’ve had hairdressers ask me what I use and they comment on what they think of it, but never to that extent. Maybe she took her training a little too seriously…or maybe they get commission on selling the products lol.
I hate things being pushed on me even after I’ve already declined. Stop trying to talk me into something and be on your merry way.
I’m not sure about the quality and name vs no name brand shampoos but what I do know is that I use shampoos according to how I feel they work for my hair.
I wish I’d have been there to see the look on your face. Nice comparison, hair stylist. Good work, really. I would’ve laughed at her all the way out of the salon.
