I was walking home this morning after a meeting when two women came up to me.
‘Hello! My name is Letty. I’m an apprentice hairdresser. Would you like a free haircut?’
Letty’s companion added, ‘Letty has basically finished her training. I’m her teacher. She just needs to practice for the test.’
I said cautiously, ‘Sure. I’d love a haircut.’ I wondered if they had spotted me walking down the street and targeted me because of my terrible hair. So now I have an appointment for a haircut this Friday, just in time for Di’s Fourth of July party at out house.
Try this! It’s pretty amazing. Put on your headphones and listen to the YouTube clip. I read about it at Why not try a virtual haircut?
What is with people on the street pushing haircuts in Cambridge?
In my second week here I got accosted by a promo chick selling haircut ‘deals’ at an expensive salon.
I bought it, and have been there enough times to make the deal worthwhile, but I’ve not been happy with the service.
I will not buy any beauty-related deals from street sellers again.
Be warned, Joan!
(ps. I don’t think they target people with bad hair. I think they just target young women generally)
