New Hair Stylist

Tuesday, August 31st 2010

I've been going to the same hair stylist for almost 5 years now, but today I went to someone new. I'll tell you- I followed my old stylist from salon to salon, understandably accepted the price increases over time and referred other friends to her too. Most people will give you a referral bonus or discount, but that was something I never saw.

She, for the most part, always did a consistent job which is why I continued going to her. Until recently when her prices increased dramatically, her hours shortened and she would let me go home with wet hair and not much appreciation for my continued business. My friend even told her we are thinking of going somewhere else due to her high prices and asked if she'd be willing to compromise. "Nope" was the answer.

So, enough was enough and today I found someone new. This stylist opened up a shop 2 blocks from my house and was very grateful to get new clients when I stopped in to make an appointment. She gave me the full salon treatment I had been missing out on all this time, she took all the time she needed to treat me well and left me feeling very excited about coming back next time. I gave her a generous tip and it was worth it!

Peace :)
