11 Things Only Hairstylists Understand
Megan Nel

These problems only hairstylists will understand...


Stylist: "So how is your dog Wendy doing these days?"

Client: "I once had a fish named Fred... Is that what you are talking about?"

Stylist: "....Yes?"

2. "I want my hair to look voluminous, but without the volume."

Yes, and I want a unicorn to feed me strawberries while floating on a magical, sparkly lake....

3. Taking off gloves after coloring and realizing there was old color inside

Well, now my pretty pink manicure looks like mustard stains... fantastic!

4. Talking over a hairdryer

Just smile and nod, lets just hope she didn't just tell you her grandpa died last week.

5. Cutting a fidgety clients' hair

If you don't sit still now I will cut a piece of your hair and call it an 'accident'. Do I have your attention now?

6. "I cut my own hair"


Yes, we can tell...The worst part of this situation is when they think it actually looks good.

7.When the client refuses to believe a picture is Photoshoped

Stylist: "This picture is edited."

Client: "Yes, I want my hair to look like this."

Stylist: *sighs*

8. Trying to bring more color into your wardrobe


Everything you buy is black, or some variation on black. And if bleach lightens some part of our favorite shirt the black Sharpie will come out!

9. Doing our makeup and hair on an off day is a big nope!

Why do we want to go through all that trouble, we'll be hiding from the world anyway.

10. Seeing a client outside of the salon

Even when you did a great job on their hair, it is still a little awkward to say hello...

11. Removing all the little hairs stuck in your shirts and bras

How did it even get there? Needless to say, baby powder is our favorite thing. (Also a teasing brush, it works like magic)

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.
