Had my haircut today, the place I normally go was full and I really wanted to get it cut as soon as possible, meaning I had to go to a nearby salon type place.
Cutting my hair is fairly simple, it doesn't even require scissors. I have a number 4 on top and a 3 around the back and sides. Easy, yes? Normally I pay £3.50 for this, which some may say is a bit expensive but today I almost had a heart attack after hearing the price.
Rip-off merchant: "That'll be £9, please."
Me: "£9!!!!"
Rip-off merchant: "Yeah, £9. Oh no, wait, you're under 18 so it's less."
Me: *sigh of relief*
Rip-off merchant: "It's actually £8."
Me: *shocked again, but pay anyway*
I only had £8 on me, it was unbelievable. It wasn't even a particuarly good cut, I think it was somebody on work experience that did it. Bah.

It's all about the ambiance of the salon, I say. You paid to sit in their finery, not for the crappy buzz-cut. It was just the cost of convenience.
If you want something bad enough, you should be willing to pay the price. So then, luv, you weren't really ripped off. :)

Yes I was. £8 for the honour of having clippers poorly run through my hair for 15 minutes seems a bit steep to me.
I purposely ask them not to use the clippers, it takes them a good half hour to do my hair and it doesnt look like someone tried to trim it with a hedgetrimmer...

I pay £5 for a short trim on top and grade 3 down the sides.
We get to watch music channels, allowed free coffee (not that I actually like the stuff) and there's also a pile of newspapers / fhm's / other manly magazines on the coffee table for us to read/perve.
pwn'd
