It is fairly obvious "consumer" is a stylist from another salon. It's a back-stabbing business out there and so easy to give a "bad" review on a forum. She is way to invested it this topic by replying days later to her own posting. Maybe it is a stylist from another that can't cut it in a high end salon like Maribou, or an owner of another salon that has lost business to the "latest and greatest".
My oh my, you've just gotten yourself all in a tizzy over this, not to mention responding to an email that wasn't ever even addressed to you personally. You really would have been better off just keeping quiet! I tried being discreet, but someone was feeling guilty, huh?? By the way, with all those long hours you claim to be working, I'm a bit curious on how you have so much free time to get so involved on this website(?). It's terribly unfortunate, and simply not right that you are giving people in your business such a bad name. Just about every stylist I've ever known has established the majority of their clientelle by word of mouth. You, taking advantage of a website that is meant mostly for Folsom newcomers looking for services of quality by review of other customers/clients, shouldn't be out there trying to manipulate innocent people with your 'my prices aren't that high and I'm very generous with my foils', blah, blah...all so that you can lure them in! You obviously don't give people very much credit do you? Your work is supposed to advertise for itself! I can't help but think that your kind of like the "ambulance chaser" of hairdressers!! Seriously now, I'm just tryin' to help you (after reading your paranoid response to me, who was just using this site the way it was intended, and then getting accused of being another stylists who was stooping to
your level. What you really need to be doing at this point, is to: 1-stop worrying about people seeing through your ways (they do), 2-stop ranting, raving and making paranoid assumptions about another sylist playing your foolish game, and 3-just get back to work! I have the time to look out for people like you and try to warn them of when I've been screwed. I really don't think YOU do! As a matter of fact, I don't recall there being ANY other postings from other hair stylists just popping onto the site by to say hello, and by the way, you can always call me. This, my friend is not what the website is meant for (blowin' your own horn!!). I don't think, a reputable hair dresser would ever even consider doing that! Not only because they didn't need to, but it would also make them look kind of pathetic. Just because you happen to think manipulatively, doesn't mean everyone else does too. Oh yeah, about your belief that I'm a fricken hair person, what the hell is my objective? OK yeah, I'm a stylist that wants to increase my business, so I think I'll go on "this" website, not give a name, not give a name of the salon, and then go warn others not to believe everything they hear, especially from unamed people! Just what exactly am I supposedly going for here? Paalleeezz enlighten me! I was just looking out for people who might possibly make the same mistake I did. One's hair can be a serious subject, and if someone ends up going to a nice salon like Maribou (happy now?) they're likely to have high expectations. Then there you are, Miss "the latest and the greatest" (God help me...AND them!!). Now that I've been in Folsom a little longer and met some more people, I'm seeing that my warnings may not be all that needed after all, like I've said before, people's work (hair) speaks for itself...apparently I'm not the only unhappy camper out there! But not to worry, I hear you give a mean manicure!! I realize this all may seem a bit harsh, but when you claim to have experience doing something that you obviously do not, there's usually a price to pay. And I believe it would simply be wrong to not share my learning experience! And just remember this...my original posting was simply to warn innocent customers out there to be cautious of inexperienced sylists... and PRESTO, there you were, basically admitting to the world that the posting HAD to have been about of you! Not real smart kiddo! Anyway, you just keep on truckin', you'll learn more as you gain the experience needed. You can do it, I just know you can! Good luck to you, and keep those chins up! No need to thank me, just work on your color technique first and foremost and that will be a reward to all!! Now see, I really do care (but I gotta care about everyone else's hair too, don't I??)
ps...What's this about replying to my own posting? Ya lost me on that one!!
