A HAIRDRESSER has taken to TikTok to ask her clients to stop judging her appearance, after admitting that people will question her skill if she turns up to work in a tracksuit.
Sarah shared some of the things her clients and other stylists do that irritate her – including the double standard when it comes to wearing loungewear in the salon.
The TikTokker, known online as @slkbleachexpert, regularly shares haircare tips with her 7,900 followers.
But in a new video, she jumped on the trend where people share their ‘icks’ – and admitted that perfect after shots get on her nerves too.
She said: “Hairdressing icks.
“First up, it’s being constantly judged for our appearance. If you, the client, choose to come into the salon in a tracksuit with greasy hair, great.

“But then I scroll through social media and I see the most perfect aftershot you’ve ever seen in your entire life. There’s not even a strand out of place and their skin is airbrushed and all this fake b*******.
“No, no, it’s just a no from me. Nobody looks like that and in real life, your clients don’t look like that when they leave the salon, so don’t lie.

“I don’t see why it’s such a big deal for you to just say, ‘hey, I used 10g of 10.O, 3 grams of 88.1 and a little sprinkle of 10.6’. Where’s the harm in that?
