One. Wait time – There is nothing more frustrating than rocking up to an appointment on time only to be shown to a waiting area, normally because one of the schmucks currently sitting in front of the mirror was late to their own appointment. I have never had this problem with my Hairdresser. There is no problem if I need to cancel an appointment or reschedule, She is also obliging enough to cut my hair at a moments notice. I love my Hairdresser, just don’t tell my wife.
Two. Conversation – It’s no secret that Hairdressers are right up there with dentists when it comes to chatting away with their clients. But unlike their cavity closing counterparts they don’t have their hands all up in your mouth so they expect some sort of verbal communication back. Normally I have to feign interest in what a hairdresser is talking about, either that or start making up things to either make myself more interesting or just to mess with them. My current hairdresser and I get on like a house on fire, common interests and best of all, no pretenses. If ever there is a time when I just don’t feel like chatting, it’s no problem and the job gets done in silence. I love my Hairdresser, even if she doesn’t let me complain about my wife.
Three. Familiarity – A bunch of factors contribute to this aspect. I can arrange a cut at the drop of a hat, conversation flows (or doesn’t, according to my mood) and best of all she will kiss me on top of my head when she’s finished and my wife won’t get jealous. I love my wife, just don’t tell .. my old Hairdresser?!
