The hairdresser looked at my face and gave a wrong diagnosis

so the title is a bit weird. Are skin diagnoses being made at hair salons now? I guess these have become quite fashionable.

the same happened to me. I had sensitivity on my face, and the hairdresser immediately tried to sell me products, saying something about a dermatologist. nothing came of it afterward.

I think you’re exaggerating. It blushed and passed.

How many times have you gone to the same person? Has he/she commented on your skin before?

@soncaykaldi actually I had been there 1-2 more times but he hadn't commented that much. This time, he seriously studied my face.

@cokdaseyapma not everyone is trying to sell products, maybe it would be unreasonable to blame all hairdressers. perhaps the skin type is extremely sensitive, we don’t know 🙄

Dermatologists diagnose skin barrier dysfunction or damage, but this can't be done just by looking; it usually requires analysis machines or a long testing process.

Now everyone has become an expert anyway. Many hairdressers recommend products that will burn your skin; I just ask pharmacists about skin-related things.

@benbisorayim you’re right, but analysis devices and all that aren’t available everywhere; going by eye is very common in skincare. But still, if we’re supposed to trust the hairdresser’s opinion, how are we supposed to make a choice?

I think the hairdresser's comment might provide a reason to "suspect" something, but acting like it's a definite diagnosis is absurd. Was it triggered by the products they used on their face, genetics, stress, or is it all a possibility? How can they be sure just by examining the face?
