Don't You Lecture Me With Your 30 Dollar Haircut Original

Okay, let's talk haircuts! I'm talking about the whole *experience*.

We've all been there. You walk into a salon, feeling hopeful, maybe a little adventurous.

Then BAM! You're face-to-face with someone who looks like they just stepped off a runway, sporting a hairstyle that probably costs more than your monthly rent.

The Sermon Begins

Suddenly, they're diagnosing your hair like it's a national crisis. “Oh honey, your ends are *so* damaged!” Or, "This color? So last season!"

I get it, they're professionals. But sometimes, it feels like they're judging your life choices based on the state of your split ends.

And then comes the pitch for the miracle treatment, the magical serum, the unicorn tears that will supposedly transform your hair.

The Price Tag of Perfection

Let’s not forget the price. Suddenly, that $30 trim you were expecting is now a $150 extravaganza! Because apparently, basic hair care is for peasants.

I'm exaggerating, obviously. But hasn't it felt that way sometimes?

Look, I'm not saying every stylist is like this. There are amazing, down-to-earth hairdressers out there. But we've all encountered the "$30 Haircut Original," the one who makes you feel inadequate for not having perfectly coiffed hair 24/7.

My Hair, My Rules!

The truth is, my hair is my business. If I want to rock a slightly uneven bob that I hacked at myself in the bathroom mirror, that's my prerogative!

If I'm happy with my drugstore shampoo and conditioner, that's my choice too.

And if I only get my hair cut twice a year because, frankly, I have better things to spend my money on, that's nobody's concern but mine.

Embrace the Imperfection

Let’s be real, life isn’t a hair commercial. It's messy buns on Mondays, dry shampoo on Tuesdays, and the occasional desperate attempt to recreate a Pinterest hairstyle that ends in disaster.

And that's okay! We're all just trying to navigate this crazy world with a smile on our face and (hopefully) minimal hair frizz.

So, next time you're in the salon chair and someone starts lecturing you about your "unforgivable" hair sins, just remember: you're the boss of your own hair.
