I hate having my hair done, or I did until yesterday.
Walked in, no appt, to Dimensions at Colony Plaza. Waited for Yanni, next available hairdresser.
Would I like a glass of wine? sure.............wait...
I get Yanni, about 25 years old, dressed in a black vested outfit with hat, nice accent. I asked if he was Greek? No, the name is Greek but he is Albanian.
Would I like a glass of wine? sure
Snappy repartee, not for publication....

Yanni is training Drew in hair, but Drew is a natural at massage and does my shampoo. I don't want my hair done, I want to shampoo again.

Admiring his cut on the back of my curly head, Yanni looks at the back of my head and says, “that is beyootiful.”
Me: Can you say that to my face?
He parks his head on top of mine and looks in the mirror at us: “and now we must marry the front of the hair to the back.”
Me: I am beautiful and you want to marry me?

got the best cut and color I ever had, left able to drive, had lots of fun. Yanni is a Master at hair. When he touches it authoritatively and asks you minimal questions what you want...you know he's going to make you look good, if you don't limit him telling him exactly how to do it.

shampoo by Drew..

There is nothing better than finding someone that can actually give you a haircut that looks good from the start - not after a week and a half of growth. We all have a budget we need to live with which peaks my curiousity as to what you are paying.

47 dollars for cut and blow dry before tip. AND I still look like a 73 year old. We girls are hard to understand.

A little bit bored tonight...lounging in my chair, watching baseball, and scrolling though new posts. For some reason- as if I would go to a hair stylist!- I opened your (fermented grape fueled?) thread.

I am so glad that I did!

What an amusing, entertaining read!

Very nicely done!!

PS: many guys reading this thread will agree with me: For $47 (let alone $150 asianthree!!!) We would expect a heck of a lot more than a couple of glasses of wine, a shampoo, a cut, and flirtatious banter, although a massage WOULD be a good start...

Just saying ;)

I want to go on record that I drink the coffee not the wine but "the fermented fruit fueled" part was unnecessary and ungentlemanly, but very quick and sarcastic.

And we women have known for years and have been so jealous that most men don't have to do a thing to look handsome. It ain't right.
