Because I didn’t have an appointment yet (aka not a paying customer), she asked me to leave for talking too much about my personal problems loudly and interrupting the hair session she was currently working on. I understand why she might have felt it was intrusive, however, I was a potential customer who was turned off by her uppity nature and inflexible prices. I asked for blonde hair tips as someone with black, Asian hair and she said it would cost $140 each session for three sessions. That’s $420 for blonde tips. The end. That’s way too much for blonde TIPS, no matter how much experience she has - she said she’s been doing hair for 10 years. Well so does my other Asian hair stylist, and she charges a flexible, reasonable rate. I just did not like the classist way she presented herself, her business, and her boundaries. In my book, as someone helping open a business soon, I would NEVER turn away a customer who was being too loud or talkative. I would simply, KINDLY, ask them to be a little quieter as there are other customers in the room. Liley has no regard for new customers, just old regulars that she prioritizes. Here I was, thinking I was maybe going to save up 420 dollars to support a local Asian hairstylist, but she trashed all over my energy, so I guess I’m bringing that money somewhere else. Please let me know if you know of an Asian hairstylist who is good at dyeing hair and cares about their prospective customers, please.
