Today I had a hair appointment.
It's my theory that groomers just might be beauty school drop outs. Not that groomers are particularly bad at their jobs. Infact mine does a great job. Everything at the groomer's seems to parallel the beauty shop, including the torture they inflict.
The goals are the same. Shampoo, blow dry, trim, clip, etc., etc. All of which are featured on a treatment "menu." The socialization between clients is the same. I made light conversation with the twin cocker spaniels in the kennel below me. Pleasantly sniffed the caramel toy poodle while waiting for my pedicure. And got to catch up with Rambo, a fellow yorkshire I've gotten to know throughout the year.
I've been going to the same hair dresser/groomer my entire 1.5 year life. My whole experience has evolved from an unbearable trauma to merely an annoying inconvenience. I must be honest though. I really feel the "before me" is just as cute as the "after me." I wish mom would realize this too. She'd save a ton of money.
