Is it OK to go to the hair salon with greasy hair?

Post Reply New Topic

I'm due for a haircut appointment tomorrow but being so a hair wash is included too I thought it'll be no point in washing it beforehand. Is there a social taboo about turning up to a hair cut appointment with greasy hair even though they're going to wash it anyway?

Not where I live.
I mean not a taboo. I did once go to a hairdresser with super greasy hair and even apologized fot it, explaining I had too much work recently, and she was full of understanding.

They’ll wash it anyway….as long as your hair doesn’t stink, it should be okay.

If it includes a wash anyway, then I don't see why it wouldn't be okay. Having actual dirt on your hair would be another story of course.

It's not dirty or anything, just hasn't been washed for a few days.

My one of my relatives can't wash her own hair herself for some medical reason, so she has no other option than to go to a hair salon with greasy hair.

I just worry in case the girls that cut your hair might judge. I suppose I could say something like "sorry about my hair being unwashed, I didn't feel the need to wash it today or yesterday as I'm having it washed here anyway" is something like that. Sometimes showing that you're aware of a flaw makes it more socially acceptable.

I've heard some really disturbing Reddit stories about hairdressers who had to look after people who had *worse* than hair that was just greasy.

Also people need to wash their neck and behind their ears at least before they go have their hair done.

My daughter is a stylist and greasy hair doesn’t bother her.She is understanding, her hair is oily and gets greasy fast.
What really makes them mad is when a customer books a whole afternoon and then cancels at the last second leaving a huge empty slot.

It's totally okay because you need to wash your hair after it has been cut.

If it's going to be a wet cut anyway, then I can imagine so.

I get my hair cut by my mum's friend who is a freelance hairdresser so she's fine with me turning up greasy-haired. But if it were a salon I was going to, I'd probably put some dry shampoo in beforehand.
