Along the lanes I'd love to wend, near Artist's Mews, on Writer's Bend. Where fragrant flowers of every hue sparkle in the morning dew. I wish I lived in Carver's Valley, Quilter's Creek or Cross Stitch Alley. Just think of all the things I'd make, if I lived by Crafters Lake..........

Lovely new haircut
I was really impressed at the hairdressers yesterday. Julie had booked out her salon for the entire afternoon for myself and two friends. Marian and I wore gloves and masks to travel to the salon and took them off when we got there. We all wore our masks and sanitised our hands as we went into the room. The room is quite large so we each sat well spaced out. Julie sanitised the sink after each of us had our hair washed and used a different set of combs and scissors for each of us. While washing our hair she switched on the chair's massage function so it felt like a proper pamper session. Shampoo, great cut and a blow dry for which she only asked £12.50.It's usually £15 but because we had booked a block booking she wanted to give us a discount. Julie spent 45 minutes on each of us and that really felt like a piffling amount of money to ask for. Both Marian and I gave her £20 and my other friend gave her £15. It was money very well spent and absolutely deserved. Its been five months since I last had my hair cut professionally so I really didn't mind giving Julie a well deserved larger than normal tip. We came away feeling as though we had been for a girls pamper weekend.

It sounds fantastic. xx
ReplyDeleteI felt thoroughly pampered. It was worth every penny.
DeleteSounds like good customer service. Worth paying extra for.
ReplyDeleteI am trying very hard to play my part and support the local economy and pay people a fair wage. I used to be the Fair Trade project officer here in Middlesbrough so feel that it is just as important to practice what I preach here in blighty.
DeleteSounds wonderful, I bet you feel so much better. Its amazing how much difference a haircut makes. I am so looking forward to getting mine done.
ReplyDeleteIt certainly made the wait worthwhile
DeleteI've been told by my salon, that PPE is included in the new price of £20 and I must have my hair washed, no blow dry. So you got excellent value.
