So, I have been a stay at home dad for 11 years now and have been "discriminated" against many times. This is the last straw, I have to tell you what happened:
My wife decided to change hair salons a few months ago because she wanted something closer than going to Washington Park. So, she recommended that my daughter go to where was now going. I wanted to go to Louie's. But, that frowned upon by my daughter. Not being a mean dad, I wanted to do something special with my daughter so I called a week in advance and made an appointment. We showed up 10 minutes early to the Sage Creek Salon in Broomfield, CO only to be told by Christi that it would be a little while. She then proceeded to take another little girl (apparently a daughter of a friend) and washed, cut, and fully blew dry her hair for a full 35 minutes. An elderly customer who was waiting condescendingly told me that I should have made an appointment. To which I responded, I did, a week ago, for 1:30. She had no response. The mother with the girl, who now had my daughter's appointment, let her other children (animals) run rampant through the salon and piled their belongings all over the chairs so no one could sit down. When I called my wife at 2pm saying my daughter just got in the chair she was cool but said it would all be ok. When I called back at 2:07 from the parking lot because my daughter was already done my wife was ticked! Louie's (the barber shop I have been going to for 20+ years) would have done a better job on my poor daughter's hair. Has this ever happened to anyone else out there???
