Today I was reading an article about the most famous male hairdressers throughout history.
It got me thinking again about the differences I see in how men treat their clients. I admire their authoritative style when it comes to consulting and recommending. I may be a small human being, at only 5’1″ but it is amazing the respect I can command with just a good hand shake and the right tone of voice. I don’t claim to be on my A game every day, but I keep getting better. Male hair dressers watch out because I have been studying very closely… It’s not a competition, I know. But there is the charming, precocious, tiny female personality within me and there is the authoritative, intelligent, yet charismatic personality and that is the one that cuts hair.

I get that from women all the time, that they prefer men to women, when selecting a stylist. I’ve been given a variety of reasons by them ranging from “Women don’t want to make you beautiful because it threatens them” to “only guys know how to make a woman sexy, because it’s what they want to see.”
Whatever reason, i don’t argue with them.
