So how many people know that even at the cheapest places, it costs more to get a hair cut (to say nothing of styling/color) as a woman and it's even worse when you're a woc and your hair texture is likely different. It's also harder to find a stylist that knows how to do anything with your hair and unless you're going to family/friends that's probably gonna cost more too

I mean it's not like she's sitting 8 hours getting braids or Senegalese twists so lmao

They were on the verge of getting bought a while ago but then my cousin who worked there ludicrously ran her mouth in public about the fact that the office was so decrepit that they walked into the meeting room once to find literal snakes on the table. This story went viral and the buyout collapsed.

My cousin was rightfully fired.

I mean, I don't disagree with the thesis that this is hugely sexist but this person is forgetting that an expensive haircut was famously a big attack story against John Edwards in the 2008 primaries

Somewhat understandable in his case since his haircut looks like Lego hair and is indistinguishable from every other generic white dude haircut that can be had for $12.

Also, Erdogan was 100% gonna do that anyway, but watch the EU bend over backwards to a genocidal fascist dictator on the desperate hope to avoid more brown people.

I don't actually know what's worse: the fact that Erdogan and Trump think threatening to release millions of refugees is a cool and good negotiation strategy, or the fact that Europe is so stupidly racist and tribalistic when it comes to brown people it will probably work :smith:

Oh wait no, it's definitely the second one

Mckayla Wilkes is in talks with advisors to come out with a proposal that if elected, bans the prosecution of whistleblowers under the espionage act and extends whistleblower protections to contractors(its currently only federal employees). I have been pushing for her to expand protections for a while now and its nice to see efforts take root. :)

A good stylist is expensive. For example here's a salon here in Austin:

quote:

Haircuts
Women's: 65 and up
Men's: 40 and up
Childrens: 40 and up
Bang trim: complimentary for clients

Color Services
One Step: 80 and up
Two Step: 135 and up
Partial Highlights: 105 and up
Full Highlights: 145 and up
Color Correction: by consulation
Blow out with color service: 20

Texture Services
Keratin Express Blowout: 150 and up
Keratin Smoothing Treatment: 300 and up

Styling Services
Blow out: 40 and up
Updo / Partial Updo: 75 and up

And when they say "and up" they mean it since the listed price will get you the junior-most stylist. You also better tip well or lol at getting an appointment in a reasonable timeframe.


DC or NYC is going to be more. From what I gather the only cosmetology service that is cheaper in those cities is a mani/pedi and that's because there's essentially a slave trade going on :(

Man we're really bringing back the hits.

quote:

For about an hour in May 1993, two of LAX's four runways were shut down. Then President Bill Clinton never heard the end of it. The reason for the closure was the presence of Air Force One, inside of which the President was in the throes of a $200 trim from a glamorati stylist named, fabulously, Christophe.

The media widely reported that scheduled flights had been forced to circle, that runways were jammed and that people were made hours late, though a Newsday report later that year showed that there were no significant delays. By then, however, "Hairgate" had already become a public-relations nightmare and solidified an opinion in some quarters of Clinton's out-of-touch excesses. What made it doubly awkward was that it occurred while the President was struggling to get Congress to pass a deficit-reduction bill.
