Expensive salons, to be or not to be ………

Lifestyle demands a lot of things from you, if you are working in an corporate environment with a good society of people you really need to keep up with the trends, wear branded outfits and like it or not groom yourself….

When we talk of grooming we talk of salons, what are they ? salons are one stop for all your needs from haircut to pedicure and everything in between …. these services are not really very different from your regular parlour but they certainly guarantee good product range from Lo’ real to Garnier and Lakme great customer service and skilled workers. This gives you a value for you money and quality service.

All this sounds good but the hitch is the cost and when we talk about money we are not being cheap but being economical (I hope Russell Peters gets this and stop cribbing about Indians :p), if you have to visit a salon very often you do have to worry about the cost.

We had a little situation in office today





Friend 1 >> hair cut + color + conditioning = Rs 1200/-

Friend 2 >> Hair cut with some conditioning = Rs 300/-

ME >> Haircut + straightening + SPA therapy = Rs 7000/-

Friend 3 >> Haircut (from a normal parlour) = Rs 25/-


Thats a real good recession rate :o, and trust me the haircut wasn't bad at all, so “Friend 3” just acted smart, and we losers tried to cover our stupidity by swearing on quality and benefits of the Salon But secretly the next time I step into a Salon I am really gonna think 2 times,

just adding to this there are a lot of things that you cannot trust just anyone to do like hair coloring, manicure and stuff ... and we really need skilled labor




now i end this post before it becomes a complete crap ...

Nidhi,
I see a very good point here in your post.Quality does come at a price. When compared with risk involved in using low price-low quality products or services which can take a toll on our hair or skin & the treatment costs along with the pain involved, a good quality product or service with reasonable price is obviously the best option. Thank you for giving us an insight into this topic.
