LOL. So true. I can only imagine letting my hair mat for 4 mos, and asking my stylist for a cute trim,lol. She'd tell me to get stuffed.

You forgot a couple.

FLEAS! And ticks and lice.

Your hairdresser doesn't express your anal glands, and if you asked him/her to, you'd probably be arrested.

This is great!

Think I could tell some of these to my clients that ask me why I am so expensive without them getting offended? Or...better yet, some of the price shoppers that call me and flip out when I quote my prices.

posting it in the shop

I have another version of this (I think the list was like 20 long) which was posted at my old shop. I loved it because many owners just thought it was funny. The ones that would ask didn't, but they didn't ask why it cost so much either!!!
