#customer from hell

Just thinking things: what if Hornigold does check into their inn in season 3...

So I’m pretty sure I’ve mentioned before that I’m an out of work hair stylist trying to start my own business because interacting with and touching strangers has become very stressful as of late for me. I cut my mom’s hair for free because she is letting me live with her rent free while I figure out my next step (and because she’s my mom and I would do it anyway). I have two older sisters, one who is about to be 35 later this month (the one I am close to) and one who is 40 but acts like a child. From September to December, the 40yo and her three kids (4, 11, and 12) moved in with us and because of her those 4 months were hell on earth for me. My nieces and nephew were in no way the problem, it was all her. So, my nephew’s hair was getting long and annoying him so I gave him a trim and a fade, the way he always wears his hair. He liked it, it looked fine. She stood there the entire time (with no knowledge of what I was doing or how to cut mens hair) and criticized what I was doing. Then when I was done and after he showered, she went through is hair and looked for mistakes and things to comment on. Not even a week later, his dad came to visit and decided to go get his own hair cut at a salon while he was here. My sister told him to take their son to spend time with him. When he came back, his hair had been cut even shorter and my sister didn’t look through it or anything, just started gushing about how good it looked. Then she couldn’t understand why I was mad and why i was hesitant to cut her hair. When I finally gave in and cut her hair, I told her exactly how much I had to cut off to remove her split ends (less than an inch) and she said ok. Then, it was all about how it was too short and uneven (it wasn’t). Meanwhile, she was blonde. Like fully blonde but convinced she just had highlights (natural brunette but totally blonde just from highlights? ok) and she wanted to go back to her natural color. It took awhile for me to get to the hair store because of money and covid and she kept throwing tantrums over it. So I finally get the color, match her roots perfectly, but apparently it’s too dark. Then she comes for a visit this weekend and GUESS WHAT. She’s blonde again. I will never do her hair or her kids hair ever again. If you’re going to actually pay someone to do it anyway when I’m done, GO TO THEM FIRST
