Fringe bangs rip-off


So last night, I'm leaving work to go meet friends at Bar Stuzzichini for some drinks and apps (worth the random Flatiron location!) and realize my bangs could use a little trim. Short on time this week, I figured I could squeeze in a trim in the hour before going out. There is a hair salon right by my office called Arrojo. I went in...very friendly...no problem...someone could trim my bangs in a moment. They take down my phone number and name. They see me as a potential future customer and I am happy to play the part. I meet my trimmer, sit down...he proceeds to ask who does my color because my hair is "way dry." Two seconds later (literally) I have lovely trimmed fringe bangs. I go to pay and the cashier says $15.00. All I could say was, "Are you serious?"

I've lived in New York for 10 years. High prices don't shock me. I often pay upwards of $100.00 for a haircut and I am by no means cheap. BUT, for a bang trim? With no brush, no wash or blow dry...they couldn't be serious.
