i go to a fairly prestigious celebrity hairdressers salon. its really not up its arse and my stylist is lovely (i dont see Mr Celeb himself - i see his junior stylist who is fab....)
anyway - ive gone there for years and the prices are actually fairly comparable with local salons.
so i went for an appointment and this guy in the salon who is the manager is loudly slating the police because he got stopped for not wearing a seatbelt.
now i appreciate that everyone is entitled to their opinion and his experience was his experience, the officer let him off but he was still annoyed about it.
He went on for quite some time, saying things like "they shouldnt be allowed to do so and so" and being really quite obnoxious. I appreciate he was chatting to his clients and they were all having a good old moan.
i was sat feet away. i had gone there for some pampering, and was paying good money for it.
instead i was hearing a tirade about what i do for a living - he was making assumptions about all police, he was offensive and annoying.
So i mentioned it to someone in the salon - i was being quite jokey and said "should i just go and tell him what i do and see if he shuts up" but the longer he went on the more uncomfortable i was getting and finding it hard to bite my tongue - i said to my stylist that had he gone through the windscreen of his car it would be an officer scraping him up off the road....
he eventually toned it down but it annoyed me.
I once had a terrible experience with a hairdresser - but i dont think they are all incompetent idiots who want to shave my head.....
i did not make any formal complaint but I thought it was unprofessional and could have potentially cost the salon a client had it bothered me enough to go elsewhere (which it didnt - i just thought he was a pratt)
So tonight i got a phone call to my home ex directory number from him - clearly on his hands free mobile phone and not from the salon - saying he wanted to apologise if he offended me.
I take it someone must have mentioned my comments. However it was an awkward exchange and one that i found quite embarrassing - i didnt make any formal complaint and i didnt particularly want to discuss it with him which because he phoned i felt i had to. I felt a bit silly.
I am also wondering if it was a fishing expedition of some sort....im wondering if he just put 2 and 2 together and came up with 4 and phoned to see who had said something....his wife works on reception so would have access to my phone number etc.
im wondering whether to phone the salon tomorrow and speak to someone to ask WTF that was all about....it was all a bit odd!
AIBU?
