Since I posted about my haircut at Arrojo Studio, it’s come up in conversation with people both at work and in my personal life, from people who read about it in my blog and those who didn’t. The responses were mostly positive like “your hair looks good” and such, but I was amused by how many people said to me that they’d like to go and “get it done right” some time.
Seriously, it was $65 for a shampoo, cut, and styling. The scalp massage part of the shampooing was incredible for a guy with a hangover. The stylist, Chuck, didn’t make me uncomfortable by being either stupidly chatty or conspicuously quiet. I felt comfortable saying “do your thing” and letting him get down to business. The whole thing was about an hour, and I walked out with Amy telling me how sexy I looked.
I realize that to some people outside the big city, that it’s an expensive proposition, but I’m thinking that there’s no excuse for anyone who’s “doing well for himself” not to take the plunge. You’ll feel better while it’s happening, and feel better for weeks afterward. And yes, I mean you, Greg.
