Hairdressers is not an easy job, proof with these anecdotes entrusted by the professionals themselves.
In the intimacy of hairdressing salons, confidences are made over the scissors. In Bordeaux, Sullyvan, a hairdresser for fifteen years, sees slices of life parading. “”We could write books with everything we hear“, He says. Because behind the mirror, languages are delighted.”The most discreet, the most elegant women are often those that deliver the most raw stories … but always with a certain grace“, He says. Sometimes the show even becomes the theater of absurd scenes. One day, three regular customers enter: a woman, her husband, and … the mistress. A planning error, and the tension rises with a notch:”The two women began to shout on it … The man, he no longer knew where to put himself“Remember Sullyvan.”But we are not here to arbitrate the privacy of our customers.“”
Uses are evolving, but certain habits of the past re -emerge: “A certain age client went to the toilet with her bathrobe, and put himself underwear underneath. When she came out, I saw that she was no longer wearing a pants. I was surprised and she explained to me that it was common“, Continues Sullyvan.
Jordan, a hairdresser for 13 years, has also seen disconcerting situations: “In Brittany, a woman asked me if I made cut cuts. She had seen videos on social networks, and wanted me to make her. Obviously, I refused.“In Paris, while he exercises in a street known for prostitution, a woman requires a strange cup to him:”She wanted a square, but also shave on the sides and make a very very short fringe. She had gave herself to the mower on her own in the skull and wanted to make holes everywhere. I saw that she was not in her natural state.“To take no risk, Jordan makes her sign a discharge. The next day, she returns then admitting her regrets.
But sometimes some encounters leave a lighter memory. At 19, when he worked in London, Jordan regularly receives an 80 -year -old client, affectionately nicknamed “Madame Tagada” because of her curly square and her pink hair. The hairdresser gives him his difficulty in finding Tagada strawberries in the English capital. She then offers him a challenge: if she finds it before him, Jordan must dye his hair in pink. “”Two or three hours later, she came back to the living room with one or two kilos of Tagada, so I had to make a pink color like her. During the following months, we were called granny and grandson Tagada.“”
