Hello everyone. So I got some extra cash on me right now and I decided I would treat myself to a session in a boutique hairdresser, specially considering I would be bleaching my hair, which is something you definitely want a very talented hairdresser who knows what s/he's doing for.

So here's the thing. I don't really mind the small talk at all, in fact I love it! 

But I hate phone calls and the fact I don't exactly know how much it's going to cost me and I'll probably have to book BEFORE knowing the full price (since they usually only ever tell you how much it will cost you after doing an in-person diagnosis) is making me super nervous. 

I'm worried it may end up being way too much and I would only find out already being there for the appointment. I have a big chunk saved for this ocassion, but I don't have much of an idea of how expensive it may end up being. And I feel bad asking about the price before confirming the booking because I'm afraid they may think I'm a cheap-ass or something along those lines. 

So yeah, I don't know what to do. Maybe look for another hairdresser? There's another one with excellent reviews (5 stars, 60 ratings) that has disclosed the minimum and maximum prices to me no issue, but it's very, very far away from my location, I would need to take 2 buses. Thanks in advance!
