My wife hasn't had a haircut for quite a while, so she went yesterday. But not just to any place, she tried someplace new (which I understand is risky for women)--the XIPHIUM salon here in KC, which is an AVEDA salon. Now, women know the difference in haircare and beauty products; I do not. If we put it in food terms, with spam being the lowest and steak being the highest, Aveda has the reputation of being the steak and lobster and dessert of beauty products. However, I am pretty much willing to let Amy pamper herself now so twenty years down the road we don't have our neighborhood Nip/Tuck specialist on speed-dial. And their stuff smells good. Plus, my amazing wife is worth it! Every husband knows that if their wife feels like the luckiest, most captivating woman on Earth, the homestead is the happiest, most captivating place to be.
She could have gone to a decent hairdresser and paid the same, but most likely more, and she wouldn't have come out feeling like she was walking on air. Let me list it for you: a free drink when you walk in (supposedly their tea is amazing); a scalp massage with peppermint oil; cut and style; wash, condition and "something else" with really great stuff (all AVEDA obviously); a hot towel face wrap; hand massage; friendly, not-overbearing people; and last but not least, you DON'T tip; all for $30. That's what you call
She walked out feeling like a million bucks and I was the lucky man to receive her into loving arms. Not a bad deal. For either of us.
