LIFE AS A NEW YORK CITY HAIRDRESSER

Let's just face it.....
It's a HUGE transition for me to work in 2 very different worlds
Doing hair in suburbia America is soooo much easier
than doing hair in New York city

I wish I could get this across to all you hairdresser's whom ever dream of doing hair in New York
there's nooo compatibility
not only do we have to worry about pleasing the clients
but we have to please the co-workers who sooo want your head in a guillitine 
then you gotta please your owner or manager who is critiquing your every cut, color, blow dry

Now let's talk retail
we are under pressure to sell
Yes, SELL.....
you have a quota to meet every month
and if you ain't meeting this, sure enough your head is now on chopping block
Sell  MF!
or your out the door!

No employer really needs you
the talent is large, and there's always someone better than you
you are replaceable in a city with 8 million people

Back in my hometown, they can't get enough hairstylist to fill salon chairs???
That's really not the poor little salon's fault, that's the managements or owners fault
I can think of 3 salon's in my hometown stations are doubled up on and stylist's working
opposite day's to have a space at these salon's
Now question is.....
WHY ARE THE SALON'S ATTRACTING THE RIGHT TALENT?

This is how we work in New York
on day's we are not using that station, someone else is!!!
An EMPTY chair means nooo $$$$$$$ coming in
unfortunate for some salon owner's they have this....
The empty chair syndrome

It's all business here in NYC
Business is Business
The salon owners just don't care about you

Everyday you go to work you don't know if your going to get fired
Check YELP on a daily basis to see if you got any bad reviews
if you did for sure your ass is in a meeting with management
and guess what????
it's always your fault! 
Even though they know that the clients can be difficult
It's always your fault

It's like a factory

Climbing up the ladder in New York city
requires putting  out
YES! you heard me....
Your sleeping with the right people

It's biggest in the modeling society of NYC
put out or don't get that photo shoot
Believe me, I'm the hairstylist to a few NYC models
aspiring to get somewhere

Sex still ruling the social climb
to stardom
it's been done for ages

Just remember, there's sooo much competition
your never going to be the best

You need to just say, I'm going to give my all,
you gotta sell your heart and soul to the devil you are employed by
and cover your ass

WELCOME TO THE NEW YORK CITY HAIRDRESSING SCENE
GOD BLESS
