It felt wonderful, though I am still able to go to the ponytail adn wimped out on the more radical cut. Your's is fabulous.

I agree with Marks comment. It is not uncommon for women to return products to our salon, even in a small town. But on the same token I know just how you feel. It always feel weird to return things, but people do it all time, maybe more often that you would think. And the receptionist isn't going to talk about your return over her evening meal. Have your mothe-in law do it...if you feel to uncomfortable.<BR/>Just curious was kind of shampoo??John and Beccahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01008538395797381001noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8850703275190174771.post-58178393883363761152007-12-07T16:30:00.000-08:002007-12-07T16:30:00.000-08:00I haven't had my haircut since May, I think it is ...I haven't had my haircut since May, I think it is time.

They are concentrated so you use less and they last a long time.

I can SO relate!! <BR/><BR/> A few years ago I was with some girlfriends at the mall and we were looking for dresses to buy and wear for upcoming Valentine's day. They were more well-off than I was and I got pressured into buying a black velvet dress for over $100. By the time I got home that evening, I was in tears, thinking how I could better use that money for other, more necessary stuff. Hubby returned the dress for me the next day and later, we found a very similar black velvet dress for $15 at Marshall's. <BR/><BR/>So that's my idea.. get Hubby to return it for you. Sarah's idea is good, too.<BR/><BR/>Love the haircut, by the way. It's something I've been thinking of doing myself these days, because all I can do with it is put it in a ponytail. sigh..jennyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08772053505930801670noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8850703275190174771.post-26581302322785229222007-12-06T19:38:00.000-08:002007-12-06T19:38:00.000-08:00Simple.

Don't explain (you don't owe them anything), don't apologize (you've done nothing wrong), don't disguise yourself (they will respect you more if you respect yourself) and as a customer with money, they should make you comfortable so you come back in the future. If they won't refund your money, smile and apply it to the next haircut. If they don't recognize that you hold the power in the relationship, don't go back (you owe that to yourself).<BR/><BR/>I have a terrible time with being sold stuff, but fortunately, I am usually with my wife or my brother when someone tries to sell me something expensive. My support team can see the panic in my eyes as I am about to succumb to the pitch. They just discretely shake their head 'no' which reminds me I am not obligated to buy what I am being sold. <BR/><BR/>Meanwhile, as I said before, if you hate to earn a paycheck and yet you find money useful, give the paycheck-earner a kiss and a thanks. -- Mark.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8850703275190174771.post-59766434601792666132007-12-06T17:09:00.000-08:002007-12-06T17:09:00.000-08:00OH! my stomach just aches with you on this post be...OH! my stomach just aches with you on this post because so much of it (all of it) I can relate to--from the spending of money, to the waiting six months for a haircut, to how good it feels to sit in the chair, to having less money in life in order to enjoy more important things in life. <BR/>I think you and I could put some good time in over a cup of coffee together...<BR/><BR/>(and for the record, I like sarah's advice...)molly | mommycoddle.comhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04336985785978536291noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8850703275190174771.post-74894134907460718282007-12-06T16:34:00.000-08:002007-12-06T16:34:00.000-08:00Well, I love the haircut.
