Went to a beauty academy to get my hair done when this, ahem, lady comes in. She's got shoulder length hair in shades of color from fried wheatstraw on the top front to a deep dark brown in the back, with lovely hues of burnt orange in between. Basically, she's used box colors so many times that she's fried her hair and wants them to help fix the color to a single shade without having to cut her hair down to the roots.
Now anyone who's ever colored their hair on a regular basis knows that if you screw up your haircolor it takes hours in the chair with a stylist to fix it. Most places will charge at least $150 for color correction because of the time and materials it takes to do it right.
Anyway, she's there for four hours with two student stylists and an instructor working on her, and she's a total bitch the whole time, making snarky comments about the girls, their skills, and how long it was taking. The instructor even had to stop and give the lady what for about her attitude.
Well, when everything was said and done, and her hair was a more natural, very nice shade of brown, the lady started complaining about the $120 bill. She managed to argue them down to $65, a staggering discount for the service she just received, but she wasn't done yet. Oh no, this is when she got really sucky.
She whipped out a 50% off coupon!!!
I couldn't believe that the salon accepted it! I think they were just sick of her by that point and wanted her to GTFO. But wait, there's more!
She didn't tip any of the people who worked so long and hard on her hair. Not even at the discounted rate.
Man, there are two groups of people you just do not mess with: the people who handle your food and the people who style your hair. Both can seriously ruin your day!
