Elite Blowout/ Silk-Press (ear to shoulder length) Deep Conditioning Mask Haircut (shaping (add on))

This client hadn't seen a professional hair stylist in years, leaving her hair extremely damaged from color treatments, dryness, breakage, split ends, and no regular haircuts. After shampooing her hair five times to remove glue residue, which damaged my brushes, I recommended a deep conditioning mask to strengthen and hydrate her hair. She agreed. Once her hair was blow-dried, we saw significant breakage in the front and back. I showed her the damage and suggested an initial cut to even it out while keeping as much length as possible. After the cut, her hair looked like a mullet, which I knew she wouldn't like. I recommended reducing the length in the back to balance the shape. She understood and authorized me to proceed. After balancing the back with the front, she requested curls. I styled her hair with curls and created a bang as best as I could, considering the top's condition. She was happy with the style and service until it was time to pay. She thought the deep conditioning mask and haircut were complimentary. She then called her boyfriend and used offensive language towards me in my suite and even louder in the hallway. This behavior made me feel threatened and scared. Such conduct is never acceptable in any professional salon. I was simply doing my job.

1) The client before Soton actually wanted me to cut more hair off (wanted a different devacut shape for her next appointment(and she's been coming to me for years )). 2) I showed Soton her dead ends and let her know that it was way passed due for a trim because she never got one in over 5-6months so therefore she needed a cut. 3) I cut off about 2 inches of dead hair and left her all of her healthy hair. 4) I said it was a cut and did a cut and that’s why she paid for the cut. 5) she wrote this 15 Days after her appointment. The day of, she loved her hair. She even paid a full tip. This tells me that she probably shampooed her hair and noticed more shrinkage. The hair shrinks more when the dead ends are not weighing them down. Her hair is still at the middle of her back. I am a hairstylist that is proficient in hair cutting and I do not like to cheat my customers by doing a half job. Hope this helps.
