He Must Be Joking...

Awhile back I reported that my hair salon charges an unGodly amount of money for a haircut. Well, greeting me in the mailbox today was a nice letter from this establishment. I'll cut to the chase:

"...my professional mission has been to hone my skill as a Cutting Specialist... [our] vision has been to create an atmosphere unlike any other salon... Therefore, as of July 1st I will be increasing my prices to:
  • Mens Haircut $180
  • Womens Haircut $180
I am available to discuss the new pricing with you..."

Unbelievable. Since that last post, however, I have tried a different salon at the recommendation of a friend. I'm not sure it's the best haircut, but it was $60, and I'll probably go back. This letter sorta seals the deal.

hey, when you discuss it with him/her, would you tell him that i get 10 suprecuts haircuts @ $13.95 + $3 tip for that price, and still have a $10 bill left over for a 12 pack of lonestar!
$180!! That person needs to get punched in the mouth (and so do his patrons)

I am with Mike - $180 for a cut is quite possibly the most ridiculous thing I have ever heard. My sister did hair in La Jolla (CA) in a super fancy place and her cuts and colors were probably less than that. Wow!
