Well, I first went to Arrojo Studio about a year ago, and Amy definitely gave it the thumbs-up — and I went back twice (and blogged about it, of course).
I cheated the last time I got a haircut, and went to a small shop named Xena’s on West 13th.
Anyway… apparently my enthusiasm got goodroi to go to Arrojo Studio. Yeah, I don’t quite “get” the intentional bedhead v. unintentional bedhead thing, I just know that when it’s shorter, it’s more acceptable even if it’s unintentional…
Amy was hinting that maybe it’s haircut time again. I wonder… shall I go back to Chuck at Arrojo, or find another place to experience?

I get a lot of people who end up on this website after searching for information on Nick Arrojo. One of the search terms I see a lot is Is Nick Arrojo Gay?
Nick Arrojo’s own site mentions “True achievement will come when he can spend more time with his new wife, Lina, and fewer hours in the salon, confident that clients’ needs are being met by a battery of stylists as skilled as he.”
Can’t promise that he isn’t gay, but can confirm that he’s married.

I made my return to Arrojo Studio last Thursday, and it did leave me feeling good on the way home.
Congratulations are in order to Chuck, who got a promotion. Of course, it meant that this haircut was a bit more expensive — it’s up to $78 now… but Amy likes it, so it’s worth it.
Then, on Tuesday night, I busted out some scissors and a new Mach 3 blade, and shaved my pretty face clean. Changed man, I tell ya.

Time is running out, but if you’re looking for a great haircut experience, stylist Topher at Arrojo Studio is offering a few free haircuts. As I’ve mentioned before, I’ve been and was very happy. Nick Arrojo, who owns the place, is the stylist on TLC’s What Not to Wear.
Actually, I’m beyond overdue for another haircut, I should see about heading down to Varick Street on Saturday. Considering that Amy lives only a few blocks away, I’m sure that I can arrange a little hop on down on Saturday, perhaps. I guess I should see if Chuck has any spots open.

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.
