No air conditioning at hair salon

Every six weeks, I make an appointment at the local salon to have my hair cut and colored.

I sometimes treat myself to a manicure and pedicure as well.

Since I work a full-time job, handle the upkeep of a very large home and am raising four small children, my life is rather hectic. I look forward to spending a couple of hours getting pampered at the salon. This past July, my appointment was a very unpleasant experience. When I arrived at the salon, I learned that their air conditioner had malfunctioned the night before. With an outside temperature of eighty-six degrees and high humidity, the salon felt extremely overheated and sticky. They definitely should have called me and provided the opportunity to reschedule my appointment. Instead, they offered me a bottled water and promised the air conditioner would be fixed shortly. They had an HVAC technician already working on the cooling system. Throughout the process of coloring, washing and cutting my hair, I watched the technician carry his tools around, climb up and down a ladder, and walk to and from his truck. He fiddled with the thermostat and at one point managed to get hot air to pour from the cooling vents. I sat under the hair dryer with sweat running down my face. I decided against getting my nails done and was simply anxious to get out of there. By the end of my appointment, the air conditioner still wasn’t operational. Before my next trip to the salon, I’ll give them a call and make sure the air conditioner is running properly.
