Coloring Hair Dilemma: A Salon Confession

Hey, boss,
would it be okay if I colored my hair here tonight
after my last client and I’m all done?
Not at all. But you know the rule.
It’s $15 per box,
and you’ve got to put it under the register when you’re done.
So just make sure you add it all up
and put the appropriate amount of money in when you’re done.
Got it. Thanks.
Hey. I noticed that you made a face.
Um,
what’s going on there? Is there something I should know?
Coloring your hair where you work,
especially when you work for someone like that,
isn’t all that’s cut out to be.
You’d actually be better off doing it at home.
Your bathtub might not thank you,
but your pocketbook definitely will.
What does that mean? You just have a lot of hair,
like I do. And regardless of how much product is in a box that you use,
it counts as a full box of color.
So you could put it back,
and there could be three fourths of the bottle left,
you still have to pay for it.
I just. I do it at home at this point.
Well, lucky me,
I have super sensitive skin,
and that includes my scalp.
So I have my own cape and towels that I use on myself,
washed with my laundry detergent that I know won’t make me break out.
I have my own shampoo, conditioner,
after products, and my own hot tools.
Since we Also have to have those,
so just need water.
So you’re literally not using anything of the salons whatsoever
other than the sink? Yep.
And you know what? You’re right.
My bathtub literally would not thank me whatsoever.
Uh, my husband actually paid to get our bathroom redone
because of all the standing in our old one.
I’ve been a lot of other hair colors.
Uh, so, yeah,
that’s why I’m doing it here,
cause I’m perfectly capable of doing it at home.
I’d probably just have to sleep on the couch if I did.
So do you have a bad feeling about this, too?
Oh, my God, Mickey,
I didn’t even recognize you.
Where have you been? And, yes,
I also have a bad feeling about it.
