Mom went in for a wax on her day off. 4 hours later she was able to leave. The hairdresser had overbooked, which isn't anything new, but she had about 4 old ladies going at a time. The HD caters to the old gals who spend all their time either in church or at the beauty shop. Since they have nothing else to do with their lives, it's not a problem when it takes literally all day for a perm. My mom isn't a wrinkled old lady. She has other shit to do, but she liked her personality of the gal. Anyhoo Mom was so upset after having half of her day wasted for a 10 minute service and having the hairdresser imply that "old laides" aren't busy. (I was baffled as to why she didn't just walk out, I mean, I've made an appointement for X o'clock, if you can't do it, then I'm outta there.) Mom was so worried about hurt feelings (and being a SC) that she stayed. But she vowed to never return, and made good on her promise...untill last week. She's letting her curly bobbed hair grow until May, as a bet with her sisters, so obviously she hasnt needed a hairdresser!
In dire need of an eyebrow wax and falling victim to her ever trusting nature, she stepped in to her old salon to see if anyone one was free. HD was there, with her geriatric gaggle in tow as usual. She looked mom up and down and while washing another clients hair said "I assume you are here for me to do your eyebrows-at least I hope so, by the looks of them." "Your hair's getting too long also. I don't like it." Before mom could even manage another the crusty old bat in chair chimed in with her 2 cents "You are too old for long hair. Old ladies should keep their hair short." My mom isn't an old lady. While she was still reeling from this bag's comment, HD laughed and told mom that Bat likes to speak her mind, and then agreed (in so many words) with her. While mom was busy HD waived her on, "I'm busy now, but come back about 1:30 and I'll work you in."
Mom turned around and walked out of there with out so much as a kiss my foot or have an apple. Thats customer service!!!
