Alt Q: Can you refuse to pay for a bad haircut?
( SteveFrench Cardio is for homo's. do you even lift bro?, Tue 18 Jan 2011, 16:40, 165 replies, latest was 15 years ago)

Let's see the result of your haircut first before deciding whether you should.

( Noeli overtheshoulderboulderholderthingstraplatchboobs, Tue 18 Jan 2011, 16:43, Reply)

It was last week and initially I liked it but now it's shit and not at all what I asked for.
But it got me thinking about whether or not it was a service you could refuse payment for?
( SteveFrench Cardio is for homo's. do you even lift bro?, Tue 18 Jan 2011, 16:44, Reply)

Well if it was last week
and you have paid already... I somehow doubt they will give you your money back. I do know someone who went to a salon and they dyed her hair bright orange instead of red, and she refused to pay. I think they insisted she pay for the hair cut though.

Highlight of my day was about 5 minutes ago
One of the girls at work has just signed up to match.com, and mentioned how it was working well for her. One of the lads asked me if I could find her page, as they know I'm on there too.

A quick peek, and it's not as interesting as we expected, so they all disappear back to their desk, and I decide to have a search round the local area, see if anyone interesting has appeared on there. There's mostly the usual, but a familiar face shows up, it's another colleague. I head onto the next page, and there she is again, under a different username.

It turns out her twin sister is signed up too, but using pictures of the girl I work with. Made me laugh anyway.

Yes, it's really been that dull here today.
( Agnostic Antichrist Baltimora, Tue 18 Jan 2011, 16:49, Reply)

If they are twins, how do you know the picture is of your colleague and not of her sister?

( the mighty badger Aphrodite, on a bar stool, by your side, Tue 18 Jan 2011, 17:02, Reply)

They are very similar looking, but you can tell them apart once you've met them.
Plus, the sister has a slightly wider face.
( Agnostic Antichrist Baltimora, Tue 18 Jan 2011, 17:12, Reply)

ah, righto.
I'm just confused as you why you'd use a photograph of the other one on a dating site like that. I mean, it's not like you can go "oh, this picture of this other person is MUCH more attractive than me..."

What sort of relationship do you have with you hairdresser that you are thinking
a week AFTER you've had your haircut you might not want to pay for it?

( Davros' Granddad a voice of calm reason in a world of spastics., Tue 18 Jan 2011, 17:08, Reply)

technically
you could argue that they had breached their contract to cut your hair with due care and skill blah blah blah.

or you could do a runner. technically it's not theft if you don't formulate the intention until AFTER you've had the service. this goes for eating out too. of course the problem is proving it.

Agreed. I don't think that "I don't like it" cuts, here.

( the mighty badger Aphrodite, on a bar stool, by your side, Tue 18 Jan 2011, 17:19, Reply)

damn you and your logic
I also strongly object to why hairdressers insist on continuing to cut when you've said 'that's enough of the length off now' several bloody times.
( SteveFrench Cardio is for homo's. do you even lift bro?, Tue 18 Jan 2011, 17:21, Reply)

Because they are cutting some sort style into it

( JeffTheDogFucker Can you dig it?, Tue 18 Jan 2011, 17:22, Reply)

fair enough but surely I can choose the length!

When my father is law with ill, there was a lot of help available to him.
MacMillian were fantastic with him.

Really worth making a call to them, if your brother doesn't feel like making the call, you can have a hypothetical conversation with them on his behalf.

I can't speak highly enough of the people there.

McMillan have been great so far
They've sorted out the transfer of healthcare trusts so he'll just go straight into Leed's St. James' for his treatment as soon as he moves.

We've not had a ceremony as such, so there might still be time.

I was going to do my daily dose of the plank but I forgot and I've had a bath now so I don't want to get sweaty again.

I am terrible at that
I can do most of the rest of it pretty well, I'm very bendy in some directions, but the plank is a bitch

I've had mixed reviews of my most recent haircut
Al says it is ridiculous. A couple of my friends say it is emo. Everyone else really likes it.

Who to believe?

this was late in the evening on NYE, so I had imbibed rather a lot of vodka, among other things.

it's the hair of a guy
who had long hair and wasn't sure what to do with it when he had it cut. At least you didn't go for the very short option.

If I'm really honest (and actually being nice) it's pretty cool
( Citizen Cavy Admires your passion for conformity, Tue 18 Jan 2011, 18:46, Reply)

it used to be very long
many moons again. then I had it shortish for quite a while but was never really all that keen on it.

( Citizen Cavy Admires your passion for conformity, Tue 18 Jan 2011, 18:49, Reply)

naturally
I figure that even if it does look like an emo haircut, you don't see many big bastard emos with big sideburns and a beard so I'm ok.
