Brown University

I had a teenage client yesterday who I could not connect with no matter how hard I tried. I felt sorry for her, to be sooo young and already closed off to the world.
When I met her the first thing I noticed was her God awful curly, frizzy, red hair. It was a complete Hot mess. I felt bad for her knowing her appearance was projecting that of an unkept nerd. Doesn't her mother or father talk to her about her appearance?
So I start my consultation. I start to get the information out of her what the hell is going on. Which I already speculated because after doing hair for so many years and being my age I get it. So I ask her what does she do to her hair at home.
She replies "nothing" well yaaa, I think to myself. Obviously! Already mortified I delve into this more. I ask her how she feels about the condition of her hair. She takes a look, touches her hair and says
"Good" Well, now I'm completely blown away. I think my mouth fell to the floor!
It gets even worse, when I ask her what shampoo she is using at home she replied
Johnson baby shampoo. Ok, this young girl is completely torturing me!! Just stab me in the heart! WHAT! Are you kidding me! So I try to educate her on what she's doing to her hair by using this harsh product. Johnson baby shampoo probably can eat the paint of your car if you put some on during a hot summer day!!
What's really sad is this young chick soo wasn't having any of my schbeel. She was actually for a young thing very condescending! A learn trait I suppose from her home environment. Which one could tell lacked any luv!! Her dad was probably a Sheldon sort of guy. All academic no substance anywhere else. Mother definitely was no princess with always worrying about her hair or makeup.
Now what got me upset, was the child during our brief conversation did reveal to me she was a senior in high school going to Brown University. Awesome I said to her, Joe Paterno went there. Nooo reaction, soo smart but sooo dumb this child was. I quess she doesn't even know who that is. She probably never seen a football game in her life!!
She needed about 4-5 inches off her hair for it be healthy. I did discuss this with her. She wasn't haven't it. No smile, no reaction, this young chick was just down right cold!! She just wanted a trim, so I do just a trim. She says "you cut too much off."
I say " look Princess Penny, it looks healthy again!" Noo I didn't really say that, but when you get a client like this in your chair all kind of stuff goes through your mind. I finish the haircut. I just want her gone! Her bad energy was sooo affecting my great day. Goodbye book smart, but never will have common sense Red Hair Girl! Go to Brown University. Maybe everyone there including your professors will all be using harsh Johnson Baby shampoo!!! Maybe I'm the idiot!! Maybe I should be using it!! Go stick that under your microscope!!! Analyze what's in that shampoo girl. Maybe if you use it till your thirty you'll have none of that god awful red, curly, nappy, stringy hair left!!
Ciao miss cold heart! Go terrorize Brown University with that charming personality...
GOD BLESS
