Things I dislike during a haircut..

1) Awkward conversations with the shampoo girls. With this, it really doesn’t matter how hot they are. I realized the conversations were pointless after the first 3 visits. Well, not to say there had to be a “point” (ie getting her number and getting laid), just that it annoys me to have to answer the same set of questions every time I visit the salon.

For some quirky reason, the hairstylist remembers what I said the previous visit but not the shampoo girls. So, every time it’s the same thing:

a) So, are you still studying?

b) Oh, where do you study/work?

c) Is this your first time here?

d) Do you live around here?

So these days, I just dive straight for the magazine, be engrossed in whatever I’m reading and meet any questions with one-worded replies.



2) Weak neck/scalp massages. I remember very distinctly 2 years ago when this shampoo girl gave me a neck massage that felt like it would never end. It wasn’t really a massage, more like a half-hearted caress or something. I mean, I don’t hate it but it just felt weird, plus if you’re gonna get shampoo lather on my neck, please make it count.


3) Weak neck/scalp massages from shampoo guys. Yeah, what I just said but add a very significant amount of awkward. It happened last month, lasted about 10 minutes and I actually got up when he was dispensing the extra shampoo lather in the sink (he still wasn’t done yet?! what?!) and pretended I thought it was over.

Awkward.


4) The styling that they do for you after the haircut. Usually after a haircut, the stylist will do your hair up for you with wax or whatever but they usually do it in a particularly funky manner that they think looks good but you find weird: the Dragonball hair tousle. And because they don’t put enough wax on it or whatever, it remains standing for about 5 seconds after you leave the salon and you’re left with a flat hair and about 5-10 strands standing, which if you can imagine, looks very stupid.

These days, I’d just say it’s alright because I’d wash it off when I get home anyway. And they happily oblige because they save on time and hair products.




Other than these occasional peeves though, Thomas & Guys SS2: awesome place.

I remember doing a post a few months back about sending 6 year old me a letter to warn him of future happenings, and wondering how cool it would be. Well, a reverse of it actually happened, sort of, if I stretch it a bit.

In my Windows Live Writer, there’s a draft folder and there are posts in there which I never published either because a) I lost interest in the topic halfway through or b) I didn’t want someone I didn’t want reading the post to be, well, reading the post, and though I tried to make it cryptic for the sake of ranting, it felt pointless in the end so I stopped.

Anyway, in a convoluted and probably inaccurate way of looking at it, in that drafts folder, January CM did send March CM a letter with a very specific set of instructions and the consequences if they were ignored. I guess it can be deduced by the very fact that this post is here that March CM ignored them.

Well, sorry January CM, turns out you were right after all (wrong about the 10 other things you said in the past though) and I really should have known better. I do now. Yes, I realize the post is cryptic, contradicting what I said 2 paragraphs ago but I wanna vent and it feels kinda relieving. Hmm, maybe I should consider publishing all the posts sitting in the drafts folder. *takes a look at posts in there* Okay, maybe not..
