i rebonded my hair in may and have trim my bangs a couple of times. so, i decided to go for hair treatment ! groupon or deal, i forgot. anyway, the shop is located at clementi.
couple of guys giving out leaflets at the entrance. i say hi to them and told them i am there for my hair treatment. i even apologise for being 15 mins late. apparently there’s no record of me in their appt book. the staff even asked ‘are you sure you come to the right shop?’ -_-
the staff did a hair analysis for me. my first time with such a machine ! ya, basically.. my hair is super shitty. yawn.. the point is they just wanted to convince me to top-up, buy their $150 1st timer treatment, guarantee immediate result. there’s a 50% discount for 1st timer. i rejected them with a smile. see, i am sucha nice person ! with a smile somemore !
moving on.. its time for my haircut. the hair stylist took a long hard look at my hair and he just dont get the ”style”
he: what style is this?
me: i hv no idea?
he: its not v, its not round, its not straight.
me: ohh. i remember a newbie cut this hairstyle for me. so, its freestyle ! (i declared in my happy voice!)
he: you are very brave to let a newbie cut ur hair
me: well, he gotta need his training. anyway, i LIKE my hairstyle. why must hair be the standard textbook style. v, round, or whatever there is? i like freestyle.
he: okie, i guess everyone like different things.
anyway, he cut my hair into a v-shape… yawn.
the treatment was okie. i read my novel to avoid crappy conversation. i was happily reading my book until another stylist decided to join in our party of two.
the 2nd stylist came up with LOTSA crappy small talk. here’s an example:
– do you like handsome guy to cut ur hair? there are alot of aunties-customer here who love to have their hair cut by handsome guys
– dont you think the other stylist look like a hk movie star? very good looking hor?
– do you think the other stylist is good looking? he is right? den he gave me the wink wink !
this is what goes on in my mind during the crappy conversation:
– do you like handsome guy to cut ur hair? there are alot of aunties-customer here who love to have their hair cut by handsome guys.
good looking? is there any good looking dude in the house? coz i really dont see any. pls, re-check your standard ! i am 30. i am not some stupid 18 years old who demand a handsome dude to trim my hair -_- and i much preferred a female stylist. at least i wont hv to endure the crappy he-is-good-looking-small-talk.
– dont you think the other stylist look like a hk movie star? very good looking hor?
what hk movie star? 1st – i dont watch hk drama. 2nd – i much preferred hollywood kinda leading man.
– do you think the other stylist is good looking? he is right? den he gave me the wink wink.
no.
den we came to the end of my hair treatment. i couldnt go off coz the supposedly good-looking guy left the apron-tinky ard my neck. and i knew what was coming – sales pitch. he tried to sell me the $588 package, and den the $388 package.
i didnt sign up for it. i think its kinda silly to sign up for hair treatment. its not as if i own a bank or smt. honestly, i really dont think my hair is in sucha awful stage that i have to go for hair treatment every 3 weeks !
erm… actually, i tot i will be home by 8.15pm. i didnt expected the hair treatment experience to be so full of nonsense. but at least it was a interesting and funny experience! hehe
