On the best marketing scheme. ever.

So, I recently made a wonderful discovery. Hair cuts at cosmetology school. How I lived 25 years of my life without this knowledge is beyond me.  I have never been that high maintenance with my hair cuts and I have always been cheap. Needless to say, after discovering the wonderful land of institutes of hair design, my life was quite changed.

1) It's cheap.
2) You can walk in on a Saturday and there's no wait.
3) If you do make an appointment, they were ready for you when you get there (and don't seem to "forget" I made an appointment and make me wait 2 hours. Thanks Shannon)
4) All of the student's work was awkwardly "checked over" by her supervisor (which let's face it, most people could use some good quality control, even if they aren't students)

When the supervisor was checking over the student's work, he suggested I try a certain shampoo they were selling because my hair "needed it". I was so over joyed by the experience that I decided to take his advice. I was saving so much money; plus I have never had real salon shampoo.  It comes in a tiny, shiny bottle, so it must be nice.  Suave may think there's no difference, but I was about to see for myself.

Oh it looks so FANCY!

As I was checking out, the supervisor said "Even if you don't notice a different after the first bottle, keep using it."

BRILLIANT.

Who needs 100% satisfaction guaranteed? That implies the product works.  "Just keep using it" should be the tagline for every product. It ensures repeat costumers with no promise of actually working.

So, have I noticed a difference from the shampoo? Duh, that's not the point. I'm going to keep using it anyways.
