This is the evening, follow on, to the post I wrote this morning.  The hair trim and colour waffle :-).  The power of attraction brought me what I needed today, quality hair care at a price I could afford and even I feel was too little, and I should have offered to pay more for the good job they did.

So there I was, heading into the hairdressers, to keep my promise to myself to nurture myself and have a hair trim and colour when it was due, not months after it was due,  but I still was not happy abut the cost of around $120.  I arrive a minute early for an 11 am appointment and she was just starting a client and informed me sh had double books and had another client in the next time slot and was booked solid all day but she would squeeze me in quickly sometime that afternoon.

Needless to say I was not impressed, I wasn't happy about paying $120. anyhow on my budget, and I wasn't paying that for a rush job.

So I went down t the predominately indigenous Australian end of town, found a store with three times the amount of hairdressers working, in a third of the space, no fancy store front and a sign outside saying  there was a $5. special.  Well that's what I asked for,   $5. 'fix em up proper', bob.    One of the best hair cuts I have had and definitely the cheapest. 

I bought a $20; hair highlighter, it says there is enough for 6 touch ups in the kit, so obviously you don't have to use it all at once.   A bit short of time with out exhibition tomorrow to do my colour before then but I'm so pleased with my  $5. hair colour and LOL,  like a typical gray gypsy needing to put diesel in the car to travel Australia, I went to the wholesaler and spent my $115. left over because the first hair dresser messed me about, on novelties fr lucky dips and I have been busy packing lucky dips for Reg to sell tomorrow, for a 50% profit, and a diesel tank fill up.  LOL, now that is more how I like to spend my money.

As for exercise today.  Well I rushed around town, back n forth, from the sophisticated end to the unsophisticated side and back again several times, I have a wrapping hundreds of lucky dips, repetition strain injury in my right arm, typing isn't helping it but I had to share with you, my joy in my $5. hair cut, I would have loved it if it had cost me the whole $120. and it's not often I give up my belief that you 'get what you pay for'.   

You know, if I have a great show, tomorrow and on Saturday, I think I'll take something from stock back to the $5. special hairdresser and give it to the ladies who work there, as a tip.  It's so rare to get such fabulous service for such a reasonable cost.
