Hair Ratings

With my job I try to get out and get my hair done at a different Salon every month. We sell credit card machines and POS equipment to them for our business. (POS stands for Point of Sale) I like to get a feel for the industry by going to different salons and seeing if there are any needs or things that we could improve on in our industry. I have had a few sales come out of it which has probably covered the price of alot of the haircuts I have received in the last few years.

It is always a different experience going from Salon to Salon wondering if you will get the new girl who just squeaked out of cosmo school. I have had good and bad experiences including bad hair doos, cut hair in my shirt as I leave the salon, overpriced quick cuts, aggressive painful haircuts, and cuts (with blood). Don't get me wrong I love the adventure and most of the time I have a good experience but sometimes Lindsay thinks she probably could have done a better job herself even though she has never done hair before.

I thought it would be fun to do a ranking of local salons based off of certain thing I find important in a good hair cut. The following are the categories I will assign and grade after each "experience"

Overall (The total grade of all below categories)
After Cut Look Me (How beautiful I think I look) - please don't comment on this section of the blog
After Cut Look Others (How others think I look) comment here - use discretion please
Shampoo/Massage (This is mainly how relaxed and good the head massage is but other factors including Shampoo smell and water temp. are factors)
Conversation (Haircuts are naturally relaxing but they shouldn't put you to sleep)
Hair on Clothes (My cut hair should stay in the salon) - This is usually correlated to how tight my smock is around my night... Really tight - bad, really loose is worse
Time (As long as you do a good job - the shorter time the better
