Hair economy

Today I had my hair cut. I used to go to the same hairdressing salon since one year or so, but I want to make a break here to expose what I thought yesterday, and what I think now about economy, but related with the hair cut.

Yesterday I was talking with my father about the hairdressing salon. I used to go to one where I have to pay 10 Eur per haircut, but as I have the client card each time I go I register it, and the 6th haircut costs me 5 Eur. Also, I had my first and second haircuts for 5 Eur (special opening offer). This means that after the 6th haircut it'd cost me 45 Eur in total (5 + 5 + 10 + 10 + 10 + 5).

A bit farther there's another hairdressing salon where the hair cut costs 7 Eur. I haven't been there (so I don't know how good this hairdressing salon is), but if you count it after the 6th haircut it'd cost me 42 Eur in total (6*7).

Yesterday I thought that the first one (45 Eur) was better because I liked my haircut at that place, and in fact it's almost the same price.

Today, as I said at the begining of this post, I went to have my hair cut, but I realized that the hairdressing salon had closed down... this was going to be my 5th haircut there (the next one would have been the cheaper one): bye bye client card.

Then I thought I had to give a try to the other one, so I went there, but it was closed (perhaps it was too early for being a saturday).

Finally I went to the one I used to go some time ago, and I realized how much they had risen their prices... I ended paying 13 Eur for the haircut.

I think I'll have to look for new places to have my hair cut because 13 Eur seems quite expensive compared against the other places.
