A day in the life of an Ohioan turned New Yorker
or maybe I'm just cheap.

At work on Wednesday, my boss gave me a coupon for a full service salon visit.

"Wow!" I thought to myself. "I totally deserve a trip to a New York Salon!"

So today, I decided to get my hair cut. I told the lady I wanted a trim because I'm trying to grow out my hair. That part was fine, she only took off about a fourth of an inch, but here's the catch. Guess how much it cost without the coupon....$40! I was floored. I mean, I can see if I was getting my hair chopped off how it could accumulate to $40, but this was just a mere trim.

I don't think I'm going to get my hair cut in NY anymore. I'll just stick to my salon in Ohio that only charges $20....and i used to think that was expensive...

Damn, and I thought $12 in Kansas was bad....think I better stay out west and keep praying to go bald some day...

haha...good luck on that balding thing! $12 is a steal--even in Ohio!
Take care!

$40? $20? $12? I just go to DoitYourself Haircut shop and get a haircut for free!

haha, I wish it was that easy....right now my hair is about an inch past my shoulders. When it gets longer I'll consider it.
