Fantastic Sams is not FANTASTIC!

Let me just tell you, the old ($plurging) Erin would have been at her favorite salon spending at least $50 on a trim and would not be caught dead at a Fantastic Sams. The new Erin is "trying" to save money. Sooo I figured how bad could it be? Maybe I'm just a Prima Donna? I walk in and there are little boys everywhere! First clue, to a bad experience. Then I see everyone walking out with their hair wet, like dogs! Hmmm. I'm new to this whole thing, so I went with it. I sit on the seat, she tells me I have split ends, no shit, that's why I am getting a hair cut. She asks me how short I want it, in fear, I tell her only AN INCH. After that, she never said another word to me. She shampooed and conditioned for like a minute. I don't know if that's normal, but my salon massages your head for a good ten minutes. I walk over to her chair of death and she starts cutting. It's ok.. not too bad. Then all of the sudden I see her comb my ear and it yanked out my earring. Trying not to be rude, I didn't say anything because I didn't want her to fuck my hair up. So I was quiet. Then she keeps cutting. She spins me around and I have 5 inches cut off. Awesome, If I wanted to hack my hair off, I definitely wouldn't do it here! Then she takes my cape off. I call it a cape, get over it. My hairs still soaking wet. I give her a weird look. "you want me to blow it dry (asian voice)"-lady, "Umm yeah?"-me, "that's $10 more (asian voice)"-lady. "$10? never mind, so do I put it into a ponytail?"-me, "uhh yeah (asian voice)"-lady. I was judging by the shiteous hair cut, she wasn't a whiz with a blowdryer... I paid $23 for my "experience" and lost the backing to my earring. Needless to say I learned an important lesson. Don't be a penny pincher when it comes to beauty, get your ass to a real salon, and when you want to bitch about the price, look in the mirror (you'll realize, it's worth it) :(
