Anyone else notice a few things worthy of side-eye?

  • Hmmm, besides overzealous photoshopping, crazy lighting, and a tube top that is way too tight... I'm not seeing it.

  • I was mostly thinking of the original price for these services and how they list shampoo, conditioner, blow dry, etc... so basically, a haircut. :)

  • That's awesome.  Indifferent  Is your favorite part the really really bad photo, item details, or narrative?

  • in what universe is a cut + only 7 foils of color = $349?  and this description hurts my eyes!

    Champa herself has wanted to offer her quality work and incomparable love for style to the city of Austin for as long as she can recall.  In her own words, she says, "After years of hard work, i finally get my chance!"

    fail.

  • OMG, champa has only sold 2 of these.  sad, just sad.  especially since I read this article yesterday:

  • I wonder if the two people that actually bought it are really her mom and her best friend... 

    I also don't know that "Austin" is ready for her "incomparable love for style" if it's usually $350 per haircut.  For that, I'd want to add a real massage and other spa services to my "total package."  I'm not against paying for quality and pampering, but really?

    Exactly. But hey, don't forget the random brow or lip wax!

  • LOL - if you go to salon website, you'll find this!   Adult hair cut: $12.95 

    Surprise

  • oh and the spelling police have arrived . . . someone didnt spell check the header:

    Oh my. And there's a photo of a girl in rollers on their front page. There is no emoticon sufficient to express how I feel about this. 

    They may do fine work, but I don't like the pretension of their "deal".

    Sorry - that was misleading. I meant "picture" in the Big Picture sense. :)

  • Am I the only one that keeps thinking "adult services" included.  Like $349 isn't just for a hair cut, but for a "good time"

    Maybe I just have a dirty mind...

    Hahahahaha! Well in that case, this is a bargain Wink

    What about:

    "Missed Appointments without notice will render Gift Certificate Null & Void and Bearer will forfeit any claims to this promotion."

    That is kinda scary, especially when combined with everything else here. No show appointments are kinda he said,she said. What's to say she doesn't take the $50 per person and say they all no-showed?

  • With respect to the picture - IT'S A MAN BABY!!

    I actually really did snort when I read that.  I thought the same thing.  

    Ditto all of the above.  RUN from that ad.
