Rant: A bride's meltdown at a wedding in Charleston made me rethink my whole consultation process.

She hated her updo because I didn't ask about her hair's texture after swimming in salt water. Now I always do a 5-minute 'lifestyle check' before touching a single strand, but is that overkill for a regular client?

Wait, she swam in salt water right before her wedding? That's a wild detail to leave out. Salt water completely changes how hair holds a style, it's like trying to work with straw. Your five minute check is smart, not overkill at all. That meltdown could have been avoided with one simple question. Honestly, it makes me wonder what else clients forget to mention.

Yeah that sounds like a nightmare, and @kelly_nelson95 is right about salt water being a total game changer. The lifestyle check is just good sense now.
