Hotashi

The weather has been really nice lately. It’s put me in a good mood just because I’m so excited that spring is finally here. All the snow has melted…except a few patches from the HUGE piles that were there a week ago. Jack is coming up today too and I can’t wait to go for a walk together. It’s so nice to be able to get out of the house, enjoy the outdoors and not have to worry about getting an asthma attack. =D

Last Friday (not yesterday) I went to get my haircut. I wanted to get something like THIS. I wanted the distinction between the short top part and the long bottom part, so I drew a picture for the stylist (if I should even call her that). Well she refused to cut my hair like that. She said it looked like two different haircuts and it was a bad idea. So I asked her what she suggested and she said that there should be more blending. I actually tried to argue for a bit longer but she wouldn’t budge. So stupidly I went along (NEVER GO ALONG!!!) and she gave me a typical mundane haircut that every girl on my campus seems to have. I was so angry at myself for overpaying for a haircut that I did not like so I called in yesterday to tell them that I wanted to come back in and get my hair fixed. So I went back and printed off THAT picture so that the same *stupid* stylist could get a better idea of what I wanted. Honestly, it’s pretty much the exact same thing that I drew for her. And you know what she said? She told me that this was a totally different haircut and that I would have to go with someone else because she had a client coming in, in 15 minutes and I would have to pay for the haircut.

WTF?! How is it MY fault that she is incompetent? She should at least take responsibility for being close-minded. When I was showing her the picture I drew the first time I went in she wasn’t even paying attention. She took one look at the picture and decided she wasn’t going to do it. I personally think she doesn’t know how to do it and she wanted to brush it off like it’s a bad haircut. Well excuse me for thinking that East Asian haircuts are way better than Western ones for my hairtype. And to tell me that I have to pay again? Seriously! That is just bad business and poor professionalism. She should own up to not giving me what I wanted in the first place. It’s not like I changed my mind about what I wanted or that I got the haircut I originally asked for and wasn’t happy with it. No, I did not get what I asked for. I was disuaded from it by a close-minded hairstylist who cared more about the $50 she was going to make off of an unoriginal boring haircut than about giving my a haircut that suited me. I’m sorry but boring and unoriginal is not my cup of tea. I don’t want to look like every other White girl on campus. I would rather have my own personality with a spunky hairstyle.

So I asked her what she could do in 15 minutes and she was mumbling to herself. So I told her to adjust the front part of my hair and the back, which she only gave me five minutes for and only adjusted the front. What a useless twit. Never go to CHAMELEON HAIR STUDIO AND SPA in Waterloo. They are thieves! They overcharge for their services and try to exploit their clients out of more money for poor decisions on their part.

Anyway, that’s my rant for the day. My arms hurt from working out. D;
