A Costly Male Fail

[BlondeCharley]

I've been going to a salon in town for several years where I have my hair colored monthly and every several months get my hair cut. Went in yesterday to my stylist who is also the owner and explained what I wanted, he had no problem even though what I was asking for is a typical female cut. I never mentioned why or used words that indicated what I wanted done was a feminine cut. As usual he gave me a fantastic cut - exactly what I wanted, it's simply beautiful! When I went to pay, he charged me for a female cut - he didn't say a word but gave me a knowing smile and I paid (double a male cut) , left a great tip and waved with a smile on my face as I left.

I was going to a salon when I presented as male, as I wore my hair long, and they always charged me for a female cut. Last time I went, they said I would have to come back when the men's barber was there, so I told them as they always charged me the female price, I should have the female stylist. They refused so I simply told them I would never patronise them again. This prompted me to find a trans friendly salon as I was gong full time anyway, and I've never been happier!

Hugs,

Having people identify you as female sure is great, isn't it?

Costly? Yes! But worth it? Absolutely! I would have carried that smile all the way home.

Hugs!
