Lazy afternoon.

Isn't it the greatest? Having not to worry about work, neglecting the piling household chores >.<, streaming and catching up on videos.

:D

I"m lovin it!

*yawns.

Has anyone any idea how to make a nice chocolate brownie?

I need a quick fix.

*ignores my prominent Whummy*

Did I not tell you? I've named my tummy, Whummy.



I do realise I was s'pose to tell the overdue story about the incompetent hairdresser.


What happened was:

Heard of Snip avenue? The neighhbourhood hair salon with black and red interior (at least that's what the Jurong East's branch looked like), with like 2621324 posters of heavily discounted prices for all hair services.

Haircut at $3.80 regardless of hair length?!
Hair dying services from $38.

and other hair services at unbelievably cheap prices.

I thought I'd just have a slight trim and dye my hair.

It was crowded mind you, but I'd only have to wait 10 minutes, which I did. Now I', kicking myself for having waited for such crappy services.

Not sure about the other hairdressers they hire but the one who did my hair is absolutely incompetent and I was already very nice about it.
I had to restrain myself from a verbal diarrhea having been treated with service like that for a relatively high price.

Seriously?! That young punk should go for more training coz he's so amateur. Even I could've easily done what he did better than him and that's not being sarcastic.

The receptionist, upon hearing that I'd like to have various treatment, gave me a 'discounted' price for my hair treatment package- haircut+ wash,blow,dry+ hair colour+ premium hair moisturising treatment. It was supposedly like over $130 but she'd give it to me at $117 and no less because the treatment and hair colour are 'more superior'.

I would give them credit for the premium hair moisturising treatment. But that's it! That crappy incompetent eejit is the worst hairdresser to ever touch my hair! I should've kicked up a fuss and tell the receptionist I'm not paying for his commission for such a lousy job and give me further discount!


Why the nasty comments?

1. He looks like a young punk barely out of high school. Tall, lanky, bearing a constantly 歉扁 countenance with the atrocious act-cool-but-failing-miserably hair with the fringe falling over covering one of his eyes. *rolls eyes*

I'm not criticising his looks (c'mon lah, I'm not that superficial),
it's just that his looks are directly proportional to his lack of skills. Heh.

2. HE was freaking tugging at my hair! I know the hair dye solution is rather viscous but hello?! BE gentle! Nvm, I tolerated that. Moron.

3. He forgot to put on the steamer when the hair dye was setting in. Nvm, I reminded him to. Dolt.

4. After applying the moisturising treatment solution and setting up the steamer, he left and with just a slight nudge forward, the tube thing came off and the steam was blowing my neck! Dimwit.

5. When he blew dry my hair, it was super flat and straight and my fringe was totally kept at the sides. I had no fringe, my forehead was completely exposed and it looked as though someone could've written the whole book of Isaiah on it! Unlike when I stepped into the salon. HELLO?! U're a hairdresser, ask your customers what their hair parting was if you didnt notice it in the first place! Numbskull.



6. To my horror, he started snipping my hair. I thought he was only a junior staff in charge of dying hair and washing, blowing and such. But he was also the one trimming my hair!? I was horrified! But nvm, gave him the benefit of the doubt and I specifically told him, "I want more volume."


7. Mr Incompetent Featherbrain did the hair trim in less than ten minutes. Hello? THink what? QB house? I didn't freaking pay you $117 for an 8 minute haircut.

I was like, "What? You're done?" I was genuinely disconcerted. The last time I had a ten minute haircut was like more than 10 years ago when my hair was just down to the chin and I paid $10 for that.

WTH? I snapped, "I want more volume."

He offered a terrible excuse which I didnt understand coz it made no sense at all! Basically, all he did was, trim off the ends of my hair coz I told him I wanted them an inch shorter. I CAN DO IT! If I wanted more volume, hairdressers would take AT LEAST 15 minutes trying to layer it.

Nvm. So I told him to cut my fringe a bit shorter. Which he did.


8. I wasn't happy with the hair colour to be honest. I picked dark red, it came out brown instead of red. Nvm. I had my fringe to think about, my forehead was still bare coz he freaking blew dry and set it to the sides. I made a minor request for him to use the hairdryer and set my fringe, straight, at the front.
HE tried, using a brush, he did it in a way that caused my fringe to curl to the other side. (Apologies for lack of a better description) SO by the time he was done with the fringe, it was at the front, yes, but it had a weird curl.

Rather upset, I said "I want it to be straight, not curled like this,"

He made another stupid excuse, "Miss, your fringe can't be straight, you wanted it shorter."

I can't make the connection between the two. Fringe can't be straight coz it's short?

In exasperation, I replied, "When I first came in, it was straight, what do you mean cannot be straight?"


He didnt seem to want to help me. SO I told him, "forget it, I'll do it myself."

I picked up the hairdryer and did the fringe myself.

Everyone in the salon was staring at me.

but the damage was done coz the hair was set in that weird curl and I'd need water to damp it. I wasn't gonna ask the halfwit for water spray, so when the fringe seemed somewhat straight, I paid and left.

Well guess what?
Minutes later, when I visited the loo, lo and behold, in front of the mirror, I saw my fringe. It's gone back to how it always has been. Straight and not with the weird curl.

I could've marched right back into the salon and show it to that idiot.
