Today I am on leave. Supposed to go for facial to extract the toxins accumulated during last Friday's clubbing and to remove the disturbing pimple on the right side of my cheek. BUT I was played out by my long-time beautician. I am so pissed off! Called her last Friday to confirm today's appointment..Took leave happily with the idea that I can be pretty again after today and to play safe, I called her this morning to double confirm. After 5-6 missed calls, she called back to say that she couldn't make it today and even had the cheek to suggest I come tomorrow or call her on Friday to confirm Saturday's appointment. I was so angry! I told her that I took leave because she said she could make it today and it was not easy to reach her. Sensing my anger, she assured me that she would call me this coming Friday instead.
Told Skinny Bones about it and he shot me, " Find others la". Easier said that done! This beautician has been with me since I was 12, when my nose was covered with blackheads and excessive oil. The trust has been established; plus horror stories of newbie beauticians practising their skills on customers, resulting in scars and such. Just like hairdressers, it is not easy to find one who suits you. After a disastrous cut in Jean Yip, I lost all hope of finding the Perfect Hairdresser. However, by a stroke of chance, I got to know a good hairdresser at Reds via a Ivy Lee-lookalike tai tai receptionist. He is really good..I visited him once every month for the past year. However, when one gets too good, one gets complacent. I began to find his service sucks, despite his fantastic skills. It took me great courage to try Amy's hairdresser at Shunji Matsuo though I like her symmetrical bob or "concave" very much. Went for it and got a bob that I like very much. BUT the 2nd time when I went to trim, he cut it a tad short..Boooo....
