If you’re like me and don’t regularly frequent a particular hair salon, I’m sure you’ll be familiar with the fear of stepping foot into a new one and the potential costs associated. In fact, to give you some insight into my general experience at the hairdresser’s, my train of thought generally runs something like this…
Okay, so it says from £60 for a wash and cut, but that’s with a junior stylist. Am I booked in with a junior? Oh, no—it says from £140 with a style director! I bet that’s who I’m booked in with. How can I find out what level this person doing my hair is? Can I ask? No, that’s rude, right? Okay, they might work out the cost by hair length too.
My hair nearly touches my shoulders—does that mean it’s short or medium? Gah. Remember, keep your wits about you. You might be offered a treatment. Just say no. Last time, it cost you an extra £20, and they chopped all your nicely moisturised hair off anyway. God, I could really do with a glass of water. I wonder if they charge for that.
