At every single Hair Cuttery in the US,there is a large sign behind the register at least 5 feet tall and 4 feet wide with the prices on them.If you sat at the front for so long you saw the large sign.The prices are clearly listed on the sign.Also,if you had been a patron for so long and had been there so frequently as you claim,you have saw the sign before. You are already getting a complementry shampoo and conditioning rinse for $13.Did you think you were getting a style too?I think saying you were tricked was very very misleading. The reason why others were taken immediately back is because they did not request the same stylist you did,they either asked for 1st available or someone not as busy as your stylist.After waiting awhile you could have asked the receptionist if you could just get the 1st available stylist,but you didn't.YOU chose to go ahead and wait on the stylist you could see was with several clients.No matter what someone told you about the wait,YOU could see 3 chemical services going on,and you chose to go ahead and wait for the certain stylist.After about 20 minutes,I would have gotten up and asked for another stylist,no matter if the manager or whomever said it would only be 10 more minutes.Let me add,if the girl is that busy,and you have went to her for 4 years,she must be good,and worth waiting for. If you like this girl so much,ask her if you can make an appt. with her next time,some of them can make appts. Or at least call ahead and see how busy she is. I see alot of comments about money in your post: 1) you thought you should get a discount for waiting 2) you thought you should get a free blowdry because you didnt read the menu.. 3)you mentioned you were on a fixed income. If you were at a restraunt and ordered something,you would be very offended if the waitress kept reminding you how much everything costs,like you couldnt afford it,or read the menu yourself. All the time you waited to be started you were dead in front of a 5 foot sign that clearly states the prices of their services.Every HC has a set signage display and I know that is very visable from the reception desk where you signed in.Why do you think you deserve something free when you didnt read the sign? $13 for a shampoo,conditioning rinse,and haircut from a stylist you trust is very very reasonable.How could you ask for a free blowdry as well? Are you really willing to lose the services of a hairstylist that has served you for almost 5 years over wanting a freebie?
