PSA: Sneaky haircut requests from family members put me in a spot
A lady brought a phone pic of her niece's new layered cut. She wanted the same style but asked me not to tell her niece. I felt weird doing a copy job without the niece's say so. We ended up mixing the layers with a different fringe. She loved the result and even showed her niece later. It all worked out, but now I think twice about secret swaps. Always better to keep things open in the salon.

Those "secret swaps" do put you in a tough spot for sure.

Ever try the double check text? I got real specific after my own mess ups. Like instead of just "still on for tomorrow?" I'll say "see you at the park at 3, right?" or "bringing my board games, you're doing snacks?" Naming the thing makes it way harder for plans to slide around without me knowing.

Last year my friend Sarah tried to swap our weekend plans without telling me. I started sending a quick text to confirm details the day before anything is set. That simple check in has stopped most of the last minute surprises for me.
