2nd haircut in Perth

Called Skatt in the morning and made an appointment with them to try their haircut in the afternoon yesterday. The first look on the outside of the shop is not eye-catching at all. The interior is a different story. It's minimalist, sleek and clean looking. They have the whole works here from tanning to facial to cosmetics. The counter staff was very cheery and polite. Got me to fill in a form and then got another staff to bring me for a tour of the place. Before the commencement of the tour, I was asked if I preferred coffee or the different selection of teas. I asked for a green tea.

As my hairdresser was still with another customer, I was asked to wait for a while and they even asked me if I needed a magazine. When I got seated, tea was served. Didn't need to wait for long for my hairdresser to attend to me. She's a trainee, graduating in a couple of months. She washed my hair then asked for my preference on hair length, style, parting and if I would like to wear the cut straight or curled.

She's pretty good with her scissors and the shape was out in about 10 minutes. Then she blow dry my hair and started taking some bulk off my heavy hair. Finally, she got the hot curler to get the curls in and that's how I look about 3 hours after.

The experience was really nice and you really felt well taken care off, pampered. But the shock came at the end...

I was charged $79 for the cut. (I thought it was free on Mon and Tue when the trainee does the cutting?!) I guess it's really my fault too to assume that all this pampering is free. I didn't ask for the price after I walked in the shop before I sat down for the cut. Lesson learnt! An expensive one though (heart ache!).
