labrujahI just got a haircut at Public, the place on Metropolitan & Berry that I've gone to about 3 times over the last 9 months. I go to this one girl who is cool and usually gives kind of shaggy 70s-80s cuts that grow out well. The best thing is that she takes a long time to check the ends and make sure the whole shape is good.
Except this time, she just hacked through it in about 8 minutes and didn't bother to make it even. And then evidently she raised her price from $50 to $65 a cut, apart from the fact that I always tip her 20%, have been a loyal customer (although not a frequent one) for nearly a year, and have sent three friends to her. I mean sure, $65 a cut is still not ridiculous (provided you are a complicated hair girl like myself). But it's just not good business to let your old customers feel like they're getting ripped off, right?
So, greatly disillusioned and feeling like a Blade Runner extra, I'm totally going back to the Beehive next time, in like 5 months when my hair is long enough to get cut again, because now it is so choppy and short it will be forever. Or maybe I will call on one of you beauty schoolers instead.
I always hate my hair right when it's done and come around to it in a few days. So we shall see if this simmering resentment goes anywhere. Also why is it that the day I make an appointment to get a haircut, it always starts looking really good like it doesn't need one? Even if it's been terrible for a month?
