Leaving a stylist is always somewhat awkward, but Dady says it’s best to just be honest. “If it isn’t working, it isn’t working,” she says. “If you want to tell him or her, please do so, but nicely. If you feel there isn’t a need to, then don’t.”
Despite the natural inclination to avoid awkward encounters afterward, “It’s okay to leave one colorist or stylist for another in the same salon,” Dady insists. “We actually prefer that you stay at our salon rather than go to a new one.” Alisa seconds this: “No one gets mad,” she says. “We just want the client to be comfortable.”
