As I floated out of the salon on a heavenly cloud scented faintly with tea tree oil, I thanked God that Melissa was on shift today. I have learned that male privilege is really a thing and it’s worth every penny at The Boardroom. I got a long overdue Benchmark haircut; beard trim; eyebrow, nose, and ear waxing; and a color for the endless damn grey hair. I feel ten years younger and twenty pounds lighter. Mind you, even though the service is magical, I did not actually loose weight. It’s just a whole lot easier to suck in my gut after getting my hair and ego fluffed. No matter how much these people are paid, it’s not enough.
