my trip to the hair salon

[Dollar_Girl]

So i have not had a hair cut in months, and the only way i dye my hair is out of a 20 dollar bottle, so finally i decided, along with my friend, to get propper hair appointments.

There is this famous hair place near my work... we booked in, and finally went yesterday.

anyway, after they gave me an apparently "REALLY GOOD" discount (coz i work just next door), i still ended up paying $170 dollars just to get my hair dyed. Ayway, i didn't even get it cut, because they said they charge $95.00 to take half an inch off the length of my hair.

SO i was just thinking 'fuck you, my suburbian hairdresser will do it for 20 bucks'.

Anyway, when i saw them charge a guy $50.00 just to get his 3 year old boys hair trimmed, i should have been very cautious!

I probably won't go back there again. I don't think my friend will either, since she ended up paying $300.00 just to have her hair dyed brown.

I am just going to stick to suburbian hair dressers, and will venture into the city ones, only whehn i win the lottery.

I read an article in the paper that the trend in the United States is for people to go to their suburban hair dressers as well because they are cheaper and have less of an attitude.

My wife used to have braids but now she has dreadlocks and goes every couple of months for them to be retwisted and then set in wax or oil, which soaks into the pillow cases at home. One time she got a reddish color put into her hair.

You paid $170. How long did it take them to do the work? Hair braiding is labor intensive and it takes several hours to do someone's hair.

suburbian hair dressers tend to be much nicer, but they also use cheaper products and don't offer as much service options. When i had my hair dyed at a suburbian place, the dye lasted only about 3 weeks untill it was really faded, but when i had it dyed on my birthday last year, at a more fancy type place, the colour was amazing, i was a redhead for weeks and weeks.

how much did your wife pay for her hair? I paid $170.00 for about 40 minutes of work... well about 25 minutes of that was just me sitting there waiting for the dye to catch on. i must say the colour is very rich and nice though, but not really what i asked for.



Until recently I was able to get a haircut for $10.00 (i guess i'm in the city..yep it was in the city..just a locally owned barbershop..not a super-cuts or anything like that)

I almost shit when I found out they increased their price by $3.00..so now just a haircut costs $13.00. I'm considering just shaving my head..it's cheaper and better alternative to being gouged like that on price.

I think I remember my mom saying she pays about $45.00 for a permanent..whatever that is..to the best of my knowledge...they might cut her hair, wash it, roll it, dry it..and some hair spray to finish off.

i've noticed a trend with you...$60.00 pair of pants?
$20.00 brownie..now this...you live very extravagantly.

i dont wear pants dude, so i don't think i'd have spent 60 dollars on them.

As for the brownie... as you recall, i made that post saying how ridiculously expensive it is and how i won't be going there again.

You think i'm extravagant? I think you're cheap. nearly "shitting your pants" because of a 3 dollar increase in a hair cut, and then deciding not to cut your hair at all, just shave it at home to save 3 bucks a month... maybe u could buy one less packet of twinkies per fortnight, or whatever you yanks eat, and then u'd be able to afford to have your hair cut? Have a think dude.

i'm also thinking about getting my nails done. I am an obsesive nail biter, and someone pointed out to me that while serving food and handling money infront of customers, it looks untidy to have little stubby chewed nails. Maybe if i stick with acrylic nails for a few months, i might also break the habbit of nail biting?

I'd only get them done short, but as long as they look neat, it doesn't matter.

i think of it as being 'frugal'...i used to spend money like it was water too in my youth..but after going for an extended period of time unemployed..i've learned to appreciate the value of a dollar (pun not intended).

I don't spend money like it's water dude. I just pointed out that while u have no problem buying potato chips and twinkies, u have a problem with an extra 3 dollars a month for a hair cut. I think it has nothing to do with the money, but just your priorities of spending and dollar value.

You go and spend ur money on fried american foods, american sweets... but spending 3 dollars more on a hair cut is 'excessive' to you.

You should cook like they do in eastern europe... one chicken makes a meal for 3 days.

Day 1 - chicken soup
Day 2 - the boiled meat from chicken soup is eaten with bread and potato
day 3 - the vegetables from the chicken soup is eaten with bread.

One chicken feeds a family for 3 days... compared to one chicken feeding you just for a light mid lunch snack.

you don't wear pants?

lol

i wear underwear, i dont wear pants, which here, reffers to trousers.

peace out

i made a vegetable lasagne yesterday, i must say it's really really good.

the key is in making your own tomato sauce out of Roma Tomatos.


BIggest mistake people make when making italian tomato sauces is using either tomatos that are too acidic or too sweet. Roma tomatos all the way.

I once made sauce out of vine ripened tomatos, those beautiful round and bright red ones... i threw it out, because it tasted like i had dumped a cup of sugar in there, that's how sweet they were. thsoe tomatos are good to make bruschetta from, or even stuff them with savoury stuff like ricotta and spinach and put them to bake in the oven.

$170 for 40 minutes seems pretty high. I think my wife pays like $150 for her hair but it takes like four hours.

1 AUD = 0.702642 USD
I'll still do it for an Australian dollar, even though it's a lesser amount

I was not meaning to be 'facetious' (mocking) nor argumentive (trying to be rude)...but I am and have been fascinated with your FRESH cooking skills.

All of my meat comes out of a can or from a fastfood joint...i don't know how to eat healthy..don't take this wrong..but I wish I had you or someone like you to cook for me and keep me healthy.

I honestly don't know how or what to eat to be healthy.

Where do you get your meat? what kind of meat do you buy? how do you prepare it? how often do you eat meat?

BTW here is an authentic recipe I created:

Ingredients:
1)Ballpark Bunlength hotdogs usually 8 in a pack
2)Sauerkraut..don't know the brand name but came in a jar that
said made in germany..ingredients were white cabbage with spices
3)A medium bottle of hidden valley ranch dressing

I took two weenies cubed them...microwaved them for about a minute and half to two minutes..took pan fried sauer-kraut..about a cup and combined it with the cubed weenies and 3 tablespoons ranch dressing.

I called it 'weiner-snitzel' because it was made from kraut and weenies and I don't know what real weiner snitzel is.

i love meat, i love a good steak and i adore lamb. I dislike pork. I try to get my meat from wholesalers, because it's the freshest meat and also the cheapest. Cut out the middle man (consumer made stores) and u save money and you get your product fresher than u ever would from a grocery store. I dislike butchers because they tend to pump their meat with water and salt, and also cover any smells of slightly less fresher meat, with chemicals.

I prepare meat in variety of different ways, depending on the meal... but my favourite way to eat meat is flame grill it.

Worst thing to eat with ur meats are things like lots of white bread and lots of potatos, especially creamy and mashed. Ifyou have to eat potato you should eat sweet potato because it has a lower glycemic index.

You shoudl watch what you consume, because with your weight, you are at a very high risk of diabetes. if you urinate alot, you should get tested. When you are found to be diabetic, it can be a big slap across the face, because u wont ever be able to eat mashed poatos with butter and milk, big glass of juices, whole chocolate bars or even a bag full of cherries.

Anna Nicole Smith lost all her weight by following the low G.I diet, which is a diet that diabetics use, but it is not designed specially for diabetics, it is designed on what each healthy human being should be consuming each day.

i think anna nicole smith losing her weight, is a positive thing to yougn women, because finally a celebrity female lost weight the RIGHT WAY, by a diet for health and not just for fast weight loss.

the low g.i diet is a healthy eating plan for the heart, and helps you avoid health problems, unlike stupid quick weight loss crap like the atkins diet etc where ppl then pass out, or have liver failure etc.

Give it a fucking rest, timmy!
Did you eat lead-based paint chips as a child?
I mean, which part of you doesn't understand:
you went, you saw, you were deemed a narcissistic wanker?!

do dreadlocks smell? i've never smelt dreadlocks before. are you allowed to shampoo them? or will they come out? I don't know.

Seeing that people have such a problem losing weight they ought to bring back the National Socialists and their concentration camps and people will pay them big money so that they can lose weight.

At first they smell like the oil or wax they put into it after she comes back from the hair place. They are permanently twisted. She washes her hair about once a week. The more often it is washed, the sooner she has to go back and get it reset and fixed. Through time the twists become undone and wider, and then she has to go back to the hair place.

I wash my hair everyday with soap. I cut my own hair every few weeks with clippers to one quarter inch length.

[Dollar_Girl]

so if she changes her mind, is it possible to brush them out?

i've always wanted to shave my head :drunk:

[hilo]

hirco, what do you mean?


Hilo means that you are socially challenged, and should just cut the shit and get on with the sadly fruitless existence that you have to look forward to if you don't recognize the selfishness of your ways, and make peace with those that you have alienated.

Stop trying to bait people, and get the fuck on with
your life!

Your Friend,
Hilo

I think braids can be removed by unturning, but dreads are too twisted up and can't be easily removed.

Shaving of one's hair can have a cleansing effect on one's soul, like starting over or making oneself anew. People need more opportunities than the once a year on New Year's day in order to fix themselves and be reborn, and that can be provided through other occasions like the shaving of one's hair.
