Cosmetologist Confessions
Listen to these cosmetologist confessions if you ever wondered what goes on behind the breakroom door of a salon.
When I see a client at the store on my day off when I don't have my hair or makeup done and they look at me like it's a unicorn sighting.

— Hair Stylist Probs✂ (@Stylist_Problem) August 19, 2014I just told a male client "I'll blow you before you leave"... The rest of the appointment was pretty awkward @Stylist_Problem
— Gina Thoele (@GinaThoele) August 9, 2014What we say : "Let me go mix up a special gloss for your hair."
What we mean : "Oh shit!"

And you will be rewarded!

— Hair Stylist Probs✂ (@Stylist_Problem) April 26, 2014A professional cosmetologist knows to keep it behind the break room door!
It's Monday. Mess with me today and I'll cut you like bad bangs ✂️
— Hair Stylist Probs✂ (@Stylist_Problem) April 21, 2014#hairstylistlife: "You love how your hair looks??? Then why insult me with a $1 tip?"
— Steve Dresel (@HumpdayHairNet) April 14, 2014I'd really just like to rip out all drugstore box color ads out of every magazine I read... @Stylist_Problem

— Hair Stylist Probs✂ (@Stylist_Problem) February 26, 2014Do you run around doing your job on your days off? No. So no I won't do your hair on my days off. @Stylist_Problem

— Hair Stylist Probs✂ (@Stylist_Problem) January 15, 2014A Cosmetologist Perseveres!
A cosmetologist is faced with daily challenges. But the great part of these challenges is at the end of the day we can leave them in the salon!
It's not a stressful career that raises your blood pressure constantly, only in short bursts!
Just remember to take care of yourself. When it gets to be too much, take sanctuary behind the break room door and BREATHE.
The next client will be better!
Gather your strength, calm your nerves and get back out there because you can't make money from the break room!
"You can't tell ANYONE!"
Uum, I work in a salon. That is not something I can promise. #cosmoprobs
— Cosmetologist Probs (@CosmoProbs) July 11, 2014Thankful for the freedom to be myself! We take independence to a whole new level. Happy fourth! #cosmoprobs pic.twitter.com/OXIhPbMLqd
— Cosmetologist Probs (@CosmoProbs) July 4, 2014I know my scalp massage at the shampoo bowl is amazing... But if you could refrain from moaning, that'd be great. #awkward #cosmoprobs
— Cosmetologist Probs (@CosmoProbs) August 18, 2014Feeling around in your bra is acceptable because you can't remember if you put any tips in there today. #cosmoprobs
— Cosmetologist Probs (@CosmoProbs) April 27, 2014Why is is always a surprise to people that a "trim" and a "cut" are the same price? It's exactly the same process... #cosmoprobs
— Cosmetologist Probs (@CosmoProbs) August 19, 2014I hate it when people say "it's just hair." No. To you it's JUST hair, But it's my life. #sunuptosundown #cosmoprobs
— Cosmetologist Probs (@CosmoProbs) March 12, 2014Well said!!
