I think what I’m just going to do is go to the nice spa downtown and get a “nice” haircut. By that I mean I’ll probably have to drop $50-$60+ on a haircut, instead of like $25.
My coworker had a very nice experience (and got a nice haircut) there a couple weeks ago. I’ve never paid that much for a haircut in my life, but it includes an actual proper consultation. I need more help with this than just flipping through a couple hair style books by myself. I also want to look good, not just different, so I need a better style than I could get at a cheap place like First Choice or some such. Plus, they should be able to show me how to keep up the style myself at home. I hate when you get a nice haircut, and then can’t quite figure out how to make it look the same in the mornings, and it ends up looking stupid.
Now, much as I really, really want to have my hair be blue, if I’m going to spend $60 cutting my hair, I don’t want it totally fried beforehand. I’ll just get a nice hair cut, and worry about funkifying it later. If I make it blue when it’s short (or even just add blue highlights or something) then it’ll only take a couple months to completely grow out if I need to get rid of it. If I go into the haircut with bleached hair, it may limit my options.
I could easily still capitalize on this, however. If I get my hair short (which I’d like to) it means several inches (~12) will be cut off in a braid. I can then take that hair and weft it. I can bleach and dye the wefts whatever colour I want for clip-in highlights. And, incidentally, dyed human hair highlights sell quite well on eBay. I could either use ’em myself, or sell ’em. Sweet.
I still will end up with blue hair somehow, rest assured. ^_~
Being a guy is great for 2 reasons.
1) Standing to Pee.
2) $12 haircut.
Both Kelly and Andrea had/have great shoulder length+ hair. Sure, 90% of the time it is in a pony-tail or flopping about the shoulders, but the few times they would get it styled or made up, it looked amazing.
Note that last point. They don’t always do it themselves. I know Kelly paid $100+ per haircut, but she got it layered, straightened,pampered, and highlighted all kinds of ways. Andrea is about the same. It’s at least $60 per haircut. Looking good isn’t cheap, but it’s worth it.
Yeah, I’ve never paid that much for a hair cut/style in my life. My wedding hair probably cost that much, but my mom paid for it, not me.
Not that I really have $60 to spend on a hair cut right now, but I suppose it could be justified by the fact that I haven’t spent any money on hair cuts in 2 years.
