Turning Heads

Here’s the sitch: You’re in Osceola, Iowa for a few days and realize your hair looks like the coat of a stray dog.
National chains such as Great Clips and Cost Cutters don’t exist here. You rule out the local barber shops because you’re not after a military cut. What are you going to do?
Here’s what I did: I asked my mother what the best salon in Osceola is. She replied «that place up on the east of the square.» Gotta love small town directions. I stopped in and made an appointment in person since they have no website.
I arrived at my appointment on time and promptly sat in the waiting area for ten minutes before anyone spoke to me. This isn’t Great Clips where they attack you at the sound of the door «ding». My stylist quickly cut my hair while engaging in surrounding stylists’ conversations. No prob as I’m not the chatty type.
She did a great job on my hair and then I asked something I’ve never before uttered in public, «How much for a color?» Three years in Oregon failed to harness the bleaching power of the sun.
She said $ 20 and it would only take a few minutes. Suddenly I had tin foil being rubbed on my hair and a lunch lady like sack on my head. COMPLETELY out of my element.
I was in and out within an hour and it only cost $ 35.
