If Knowing What You Want Makes You High-Maintenance, So Be It
“Sorry, I’m probably being high-maintenance… I just really want to keep my natural curl pattern, cover my grays, and avoid warm tones near my face.”
We hear this all the time. And at Kindred?
We think it’s time to redefine what “high-maintenance” actually means.
It’s Not High-Maintenance to Know What You Want
You’ve spent years figuring out how your hair reacts to:
Humidity
Hard water
Hormones
Heat
You’ve had the botched layers, the orange toner, the haircut that made you cry in the car. You’ve read the reviews, asked the questions, saved the inspo.
That doesn’t make you extra.
That makes you experienced.
And honestly? Stylists should be thrilled when a client walks in informed, communicative, and clear on their preferences.
It gives us something to collaborate with — not against.
You’re Not Too Much. You’ve Just Had Enough.
Enough of:
Feeling dismissed
Being told to “trust the process” when it hasn’t worked before
Stylists who rush through the consult and freestyle your formula
At Kindred, we don’t do guesswork.
