10Friday I did something that some people would say I should be ashamed of:

I cheated….

…on my….

….hair stylist!

I bet some of you thought that was headed in a totally different direction.  Shame on you!

Because, while I would never cheat on Mrs. Beagle, I don’t have the same level of commitment with my hair stylist.

And, yes, I do actually have a ‘hair stylist’ in the loose sense of the term.  I found a place that I liked which is near both work and home.  They always seemed to get me in pretty quickly, their prices were good, they had coupons, and they did a nice job on my hair.

I found someone that I liked a lot and started going to her regularly.  While my haircut is about as simple as they come, I still prefer finding someone that I know is going to do a good job every single time.

But, as I admitted earlier, I cheated this past week.

Why?

Because it saved me $7.

There’s a new place that opened a location near our house.  They were offering a $4.99 introductory special.  So, I jumped!  I normally pay $11-14, averaging around $12, depending on the coupon.

The haircut was good.  I still prefer the normal cut I get, and will start going back to my normal place and my normal stylist next time, but $7 is $7.

Who knows?  Maybe she won’t even know I cheated.  But if she does find out, hopefully she’s the forgiving type!
