Songfacts®:

• "Hairdresser" is a candid, emotionally charged song about the pain of being taken for granted in a lopsided friendship.
  
  Skye Newman airs her grievances to her hairdresser, and what a smart choice. Hairdressers, after all, are the bartenders of daylight hours - keepers of secrets, silent therapists wielding scissors instead of notepads.
• Newman was inspired by her own run-ins with friends that left her emotionally threadbare. Tired of being taken advantage of, she turned to her hairdresser and sister, both of whom told her she was "too kind" and should maybe stop offering her soul on a platter.
• Producers Boo and Luis Navidad shaped the song's sound and arrangement. Boo contributed bass, drums, programming, guitar, background vocals, and piano, while Luis Navidad handled programming and synthesizer.
  
  Sabrian "Boo" Sledge was a past member of Boo & Gotti and later signed as a solo artist with Lil Wayne's Young Money Entertainment.
