We have all had horrific experiences with hair stylists. How about great ones? I have two:
Last year, I went to the salon near campus for a touch up. Taking out the rollers, my stylist said that I desperately needed a trim (she was right). However, I only bought enough for a touch up so I said I would trim it next time. She acquieced at first but after a few minutes of arranging my hair she said that although she realized I could not pay, she would trim it pro bono. Trims cost $15 at this salon. I was eternally grateful.
At my usual salon in NY, the father of the owner once allowed me to defer payment for two days. The owner and her father are both Christians -as am I- and the father reasoned that if I didn't pay, my conscience before God would be troubled. Now, all the stylists there get generous tips from me and I will continue to stay with them /images/graemlins/smile.gif
PS. My hair turned out great both times too. /images/graemlins/wink.gif
