The professional hairstyling industry is a fantastic place to have you laughing, crying and everything in between. At Salons Direct, we are well known for the relatable memes we share on the @salonsdirect Instagram. In case you missed them or needed some assurance that in the hair business, it’s not just you, we have rounded up our favourite memes that every hairstylist will immediately relate to. They are so accurate that it will feel as though you wrote them yourself!
Salon Memes Every Hair Stylist Will Relate To
Typical situations that will have you nodding along #ifyouknowyouknow.
1. There are two types of hairstylists on a Saturday after work
We’d love to say that we’re ‘ready to party’ all weekend kinda stylists, but in reality, sleeping is one of our favourite hobbies!
2. 5 mins after getting home from the salon…
Well, that sounds about right! 😂😂 Does every hairstylist not head straight into bed?
3. Is being a professional hairstylist a 9-5 job?
Working 9-5 just doesn’t always fit the industry, some days it’s more like 8 am-9 pm! Is that the same for anyone else?
4. The many emotions of a hairstylist
It’s an emotional rollercoaster at times…especially when you’ve spent your whole day eyeballing a colour correction!
5. Bad Memory
*Slowly dies a bit inside* “Please can you remind me of what we did last time!”
6. Client compliments
I know right! I mean…WHY THANK YOU!
7. Blow-Dry Day
I’m tired and my arms are soreeee!
8. When you actually find time to eat
BRING ME ALL THE FOOD…nom nom nom!
9. Charge what you are worth
100% the best piece of advice! There’s always someone who is cheaper…but you get what you pay for.

It’s fairly straightforward, if you don’t turn up I don’t get paid? How is that fair?

You really don’t want to see my camera roll. 286827407493 pictures is an understatement!
