I had been thr once before when i was feeling real happy and wanted to treat myself... it was a nice experience... those guys do make you feel like you are all that matters...
anyway this time i went... the receptionist recognised me... 'hello ma'am! nice to have you back!" i was impressed... obviously i didnt expect her to remember my name etc and she didnt! but i gave her my name then she asked me since i liked my last session would i like the same hair dresser this time too(she had asked me whether i was satisfied when i had left last time) ... i agreed...
now this guy comes he is all smiles... hey beautiful nice to see you again!
then asks me what i want this time... relates to what i got last time (for a moment i was surprised he remembers! then i thought but of course they must have fed it in their comps!).... etc etc... and i generally have a good time... we talk about lots of irrelevant things... mainly about me.... like would i like blue hair! why and why not... how cute i am ;-) etc etc
then instead of saying we are running a promotion and we will give you a discount of xx% he says... since you are soo nice and have been so good to me i will ask the receptionist to give you a discount! and with a big you are the best smile added to it!
i knew what he was doing... just playing around with words... nonetheless i felt really good... that guy... infact everyone at that 'hair dressers' is in the vanity industry... and thats what they are playing with... vanity... making people feel good and charging a fortune for that.... but it works... because it is vanity that takes someone there and they know how to get a repeat customer! they make you feel so vain and yet make you like feeling it!!
of course i didnt take it seriously when he finished, looked at me in the mirror and said "woo!! u look like a bollywood star" the spring i had in my step after that had absolutely nothing to do with it!! ;-)
but had i been staying longer here i would definitely have continued going thr at least once a month... if for nothing else just to feel good for being alive!
Thanks :-)

I believe small things in life make life worthwhile :)
These are the kind of things that you must cherish and if you can replicate it then why not ;-)
From the normal routine, if anything can give you a break then why not. One must indulge like in having an ice-cream, chat by the road-side :)
