There comes a time when a haircut becomes necessary. So today, after nearly five (yes I know, it's terrible) months, I had my first haircut here in Ireland. For the price ($50 USD) it was a rip-off. But everything here is expensive, and while I'm sure I could have found a cheaper place, it's location and quality may have been questionable. So I settled on the close and easy place. I did, thankfully, qualify for the student discount (20% off), but it still cost €32. The haircut did what was necessary; I am now free of my gross split ends, and it falls more sleekly and with better style. The process took approximately 30 minutes (that's about €1 per minute, folks), and I couldn't help but notice she spent as much time drying and brushing it as she had cutting it. Never a good thing. I got a wash out of it that I hadn't been expecting (apparently a "dry haircut" involves a full washing?), and was offered tea or coffee (both of which I rejected out of the fear that they would add additional fees to my total cost). Overall, I was quite unimpressed. My haircut in August was superior in every way.
