I got a real haircut

After years of peer pressure along the lines of “a good haircut is worth it”, I finally went to a place where shampooing the hair was part of the package. Where the stylist spent some time examining the hair almost as an art.

So I did it. I finally paid $30 for a haircut. Previously, I had only paid at most $20 but even then mostly around $10 or so.

But with a real haircut, I am almost persuaded to buy hair products. The hairstyle cannot survive a morning let’s roll out of bed and out routine. It requires management.

So is that what a real good haircut means? Extra dollars for the style and the extra dollars for the hair products that may or may not keep my hair in some form for years to come. All in the pursuit of looking good?

  1. I feel like haircuts are a waste of money. I too was convinced to get a “good haircut” for around $40. Unless the stylist is able to give me a haircut that will allow me to roll out of bed and look good, then I’m sticking with my under $20 cuts.

    I refuse to be pulled into the message that women need products to look good! Though I will admit that I look pretty scrubby compared to my product styled counterparts.
