This probably true. I guess I could be considered a yuppie runner since I do more than just run--I have a real job etc and in some circles I would be considered a yuppie.
Until a few years ago I went to the barber shop and got basically a boys regular every 3-4 weeks. But I got sick of waiting in line and the guy I was going to was kind of a hack so after hearing me complain one time, my wife scheduled me to go to the "salon" where she gets her hair done.
It was the greatest thing ever. The woman there only charges me $15...I usually pay $18 with tip...and she does SUCH a better job. It looks good and grows in so much better. I schedule an appointment with her every 4th Saturday morning.
Plus don't underestimate having a really hot woman play with your hair for a half hour every once in a while. It's very theraputic.
