When I cut all my hair off a year ago I didn’t realize how expensive it was going to be to maintain my new style! My hair starts getting shaggy at the 5 or 6 week mark, so I end up getting my hair cut about once a month. Haircuts are crazy-expensive in Vancouver; It seems like you can’t get a decent cut for under $50 in this town!
A week or so ago I was getting pretty shaggy and feeling particularly broke, so I decided to check out the Hair Art Academy in New Westminster – $12 a cut! Sadly, I got what I paid for.
My $50 stylist usually cuts my hair with a razor, varying the lengths and making it look all funky-like. The $12 stylist used scissors for the whole job and created something freakishly two-tiered and mushroom-looking on top of my head.
One of my favourite things about having short hair is being able to spike it up. But the $12 stylist also somehow managed to cut my hair in such a way that no amount of styling product will keep it from falling flat.
Tomorrow I’m off to the $50 stylist to have it fixed, bringing this month’s haircut bill to $62 (plus tips). Guess I’ll stick to the expensive salons from now on.
So are you going out as a mushroom for Hallowe’en??? I, unfortunately also suffer from flat hair, but fortunately live in Halifax, home of the $30 haircut.
