i've had my hair super long again since about 2002, averaging about 1 trim a year(!). lately its been feeling really thick and heavy--a dream for some, but it was seriously becoming a burden in cebu's strange weather (some days too cool, some days to humid) and it takes hours to dry naturally. i've even stopped using conditioner. when you have waist length hair, you can feel its weight.
today was the day i was gonna have some of it chopped. off to ayala.
~ Bench Fix (where i'd had it done the last two years)
BF receptionist: ma'am, do you prefer senior stylist A or senior stylist B?
me: it doesn't matter. i just need a simple trim
BFR: ma'am, only stylist B is here and there are about 10 people waiting
me: what about your junior stylists?
BFR: ma'am only the senior stylist cuts hair.
me: i can't wait. never mind. thanks.
*mental comment: why offer someone who is not even there?
~ Salon de Rose ( i swore off this place because the last time i asked for a 3-inch trim, they chopped off 6!)
SR receptionist hands me a sign-up sheet: ma'am, there are 3 other customers in line
me: how long is that gonna take?
SRR: around 1 hour ma'am.
me: seriously? no thank you.
i scan basement level 1 (where rustan's fresh is). there is a bruno's barber's (full), another barber (also full), and a ratty-looking Annie's (am i still in ayala cebu?). i brace myself and open the door.
~ Annie's (there is a lady in a wheelchair having her hair and toes done, two staffers hanging out, and the receptionist)
AR: ma'am what will it be?
me: i need a trim
AR looks over at ancient lady in wheelchair: is it ok ma'am, you have to wait. it takes a long time to cut her hair.
me: ah, no thanks.
holy bejesus. now i'm glad i only have to deal with this once a year, not once a month!
