Just for laughs - finally convinced my DH to go to a nice salon

It took me awhile, but I finally managed to convince my husband to go to my hair salon for his hair cuts instead of the usual "Great Clips" or what have you.

I recently went for a hair cut, and while I was on my way, I asked, "Do you want me to make you an appt.?" and somehow managed to convince him that the scalp and neck massage during the shampoo (never mind the better cut itself) would be worth it.

Went for my hair cut on Wednesday morning, and managed to get him a hair cut appt. on Friday (his day off).

He comes back with a super-stylish hair cut, and saunters into my office....singing, "I'm too sexy for my car, I'm too sexy for my clothes" and so on.

It was *hilarious*.

I added, "I'm too sexy for my wife, I'm too sexy for my life..."

We had a good laugh about it all. We even sang, "I'm too sexy for my dog" and so forth. Gus (our big black lab) just wagged at us and wiggled around, dancing with us, thinking there was something fun going on.

His hair looks *great*, and I'm so glad he agreed that it was better to go to a 'good' hair place for a change.

Anyway, I just thought it was funny that it took me so long to convince DH to go to my hair salon for his hair cuts, and it was hilarious that he ends up waltzing back into the house afterwards, singing, "I'm too sexy....."

Just for the record, he's not serious - just that he was teasing me because I *made* him go to my hair salon instead of the usual cheapie place for once.

PS - he liked it so much that he booked his next hair cut appt. while he was paying for his cut. I'd suggested this - that if he felt comfortable with the place and liked the cut, that it would be easier and better to just book his next appt. right on the spot.

Too cute! I used to love that song back in school (what, my age is showing, did you say?)...

Hilarious! Love it!

Loved this story! MY follicle-challenged DH recently purchased a fine pair of clippers --- trims it himself1/2 all around, and then I tidy up the line in the back. Well, he has amazing cheekbones and a very well-shaped head, and I can spend all the haircut money on me!

Ha! My husband is really picky about his haircuts, and he drives an hour to a stylist he already knows in a nice salon (near where he used to work) so he knows what he's going to get. I have suggested he try my stylist, or one local one that my stylist recommended, but he still makes the long drive. Hey, if it works and he's happy, why not?

Too funny! Now, if only I could convince mr. Thistle!

Thanks everyone - just thought I'd share - because I thought it was funny!

The haircut is fab. Way better than the usual chain places he'd go to. Really not that much more expensive either. Well worth it. I'm just glad I finally convinced him to try it. I don't think it was the expense, it was more like he didn't think he should go to one of these 'frou frou' places. After all, a haircut is just a haircut, right? At least, this is what he was thinking. As I said - the cut is way better. He's looking all "GQ-ish" all of a sudden.

I keep teasing him that he's "too sexy for his wife" and so on. The dog thinks this is pretty funny too. Anything that gets us teasing each other, laughing and acting like complete morons is a good thing.

I love this! Those fun, spontaneous moments are priceless. And if the doggy is joining in, so much the better.

Wish I could convince DH, sigh. He is like your husband pre the experience.

When sons decided in their respective jr high years to try long hair, I said, 'okay, but you're going to my stylist.' She had them at the shampoo and scalp massage! They have since gone back to shorter styles, but they bring pictures in, and youngest has his beard trimmed, and gets his mono-brow looked after.

Thanks Runcarla - it went so well that he did as I suggested - book the next cut appt. while paying.

I think it was the nice head massage/shampoo that did it. Hair cut is way better and it's growing in nicely. Still looks fab and he's all set for his next cut second week of September. I manged to talk him into 'pre-booking' his next appt. by saying, "Well, if you like it - when you go to pay, you should book your next appt. for around six weeks later." It worked

I think this might be the end of Great Clips for DH - yay!

Too cute about your sons - that they stuck with the salon after all. It *is* worth it. You get a better cut and it looks good even in between appts.
