Hey there, BLNDE baddie! Welcome to our first ever blog post! Why start a blog? Well, if you've ever visited Revamp Salon Co or BLNDE beauty bar you we are all about the vibes. We know beauty is skin deep - and with toxic beauty standards running rampant in todays world we want to create a space for our community to talk about all things beauty AND spill the tea on beauty topics that you don't normally hear coming from salons! So let's spill the tea!
Get ready to roll up your sleeves, because today we are talking about a subject that normally makes us sweat. How to break up with your stylist. If you've gotten tired of your stylist saying "same thing as last time", or maybe you just don't feel like your vibe let's dive into this uncomfy topic! Maybe the answer you have been looking or is here: stylist swapping. Yep, you heard us right, kind of like an open relationship concept - only with your hairdresser. If we are being honest, it's time for salons to say buh-bye to idea that as your stylist they are your forever partner and embrace the notion that people are people, not possessions.
At both of our salon locations we've discovered that when a guest isn't matched right with their stylist they usually just ghost. Who wants to come back and feel uncomfortable when your old stylist is sitting right there?! This is exactly why 9 years ago we launched the stylist swapping concept. We're all about empowering you to find your hair soulmate without the drama. Can we be real though, we know this is stressful but if it's not a right match for you, it's likely not for the stylist either. Chances are they will be so relieved because all stylist want is to be the Chris Appleton to your Kim K. That's why we've created our innovative Stylist Soulmate Quiz – it's like Tinder, but for your hair! No need to worry about which way to swipe either - because or quiz does all the work for you by matching you with a stylist that not only LOVES the services you want but has a similar personality so your appointment can be pure vibes.
But here's the thing – if you are in that uncomfortable spot of realizing you need a change deciding to break up with your stylist can be a daunting task. That's why we're here to hold your hand through the process and give you the confidence to make the switch. So grab a cup of coffee (or your beverage of choice) and let's dive into the ultimate guide to stylist swapping.
1: Communication is Key
First things first, let's talk about the elephant in the room – communication. Breaking up with your stylist might feel uncomfortable, but honesty is the best policy. Sit down with your stylist and have an open and honest conversation about why you're seeking a change. Whether it's a difference in style preferences, a lack of chemistry, or just a gut feeling, let them know what's on your mind. Remember, it's not personal – it's about finding the right fit for both of you. Trust us, they will likely be relieved!
2: Do Your Homework
Before making the switch, take some time to research potential new stylists who align with your vibe and aesthetic. Our Stylist Soulmate Quiz is the perfect place to start – it's like having your own personal matchmaker for your hair! In less than 5 minutes it will pair you with 3 hairstylist matches so you can check out their work, personalities and figure out who is right for you. Trust your instincts and choose someone who makes you feel comfortable and confident.
3: Rip Off the Bandaid
Once you've found your new hair BFF, it's time to rip off the bandaid and make the switch. Don't procrastinate – book that appointment and take the leap. Trust us, you'll feel like a weight has been lifted off your shoulders. And remember, it's okay to feel a little nervous – change can be scary, but it's also exhilarating. Embrace the opportunity to reinvent your look and embark on a new hair journey with confidence.
At the end of the day working with a salon that encourages this behaviour means you may even be able to skip all of this because it is just part of the culture! No more hiding in the groceries isles anymore when seeing your old stylist!
So there you have it – the ultimate guide to stylist swapping. Remember, life's too short for bad hair days and awkward salon encounters. Embrace the change, trust your instincts, and always remember that the perfect stylist is out there waiting for you. Cheers to fabulous hair and even more fabulous adventures!
