I recently did what so many of my friends have done- I went to the salon to get my hair done. I don't usually do that, in fact, the last time I had a proper spoil up was when I had my hair coloured the day I stopped wearing hats, wigs and scarves.
Since my hair has grown, I usually get a very basic haircut, and in fact, the tip alone was twice what I normally pay to get my hair cut.
But of course what I was paying for, was not just the haircut. It was the ambience, it was the mimosa they offered on Saturdays, it was the 3 hours without children or family or expectations, it was the hand massage or the cucumber on the eyes, whichever you chose. It was the service, and having the stylist actually make a recommendation about a suitable hairstyle. It was all of it. And boy did I pay for that experience.
And since your hair never looks as good as it does as when you have just come from the salon, I had to run home and get G to take a picture right away!
