Skills still most important.

It's official, and here's the results to prove it. Someone on Bellasugar had the idea to ask which was more important in choosing a hairdresser, the personality, or the skills. The skills have it! So don't go relying on your great fashion, flirting skills, or chit chat to build a clientele. Most of the results show that customers are happy enough to not be friends with their stylist. That doesn't mean you can skip on service though. I feel better knowing that it is ok if I don't want to make small talk, and let them focus on their magazine or just relaxing.
