Had a regular tell me her extensions saved her marriage

This woman came in last Tuesday for a touch up and out of nowhere said her husband started treating her better after she got the extensions. She said he noticed her more and actually complimented her for the first time in years. I mean I just do hair and glue them in, I didn't think it would fix a whole relationship. Has anyone else had clients say something like that about their work?

Hard to believe a little hair would flip a whole marriage around like that. Maybe the guy was just shallow and needed something to snap him out of his usual routine. Either way, sounds more like a him problem than a hair problem lol.

Haha yeah paige you might be right. I had a similar thing happen with a client a couple years back. She booked a full foil and a cut, nothing crazy. Came back a month later and said her boyfriend of ten years suddenly started opening doors for her and bringing her coffee in bed. I just shrugged and told her confidence and how you carry yourself can change how people see you. I think sometimes people get so used to a partner they forget to look, and a new look can wake them up a little. Not saying it's deep, but I've seen it happen more than once.

Hold on @paige427, I don't think it's about being shallow or just the hair itself. It's more like people get stuck in routines, and a visible change can work as a reminder to actually SEE your partner again. Not saying EVERY guy will suddenly become a door opener, but I've definitely seen it more than a few times. That fresh confidence thing is real, even if it sounds corny. It's like a little nudge that makes someone look at their person with FRESH eyes after years of autopilot.
