After covid shut down my Chicago guy went from first come first serve @$25 to appointment only @$30 to eliminate a bench full of waiters.
I moved to the suburbs so I don't mind the $5 increase since I gotta drive a little now so nice to just walk in and it's my turn.
I tried to find a local shop in da burbs just in case and she charges $33 so $3 more but shampoos as well.
I stick with my Chicago guy as been going there 17-19 years probably so like family but got a good suburb backup now in case my guy goes on vacation, don't feel like Chicago drive or someday he retires.
