Debbie went to the music stuand enjoyed herself there for a short while. She even got the inspiration to write a few Lines for the song she was putting together. After that, she asked the driver to get her to the Shining International Plaza.
Debbie spotted a hair salon after getting out of the car. She touched her long hair. The idea of having a haircut cto mind. ‘It is about tfor a change. Maybe they can makeLook like a million bucks.*
In the hair salon, a handsman with grey-dyed hair greeted Debbie enthusiastically, “Hi, pretty girl! Welcome! What’ll it be?”
Debbie scanned the spacious stuand replied casually, “My hair is a bit too long. I want it cut a little.” She hadn’t expected the interior of the salon was this Luxurious. The price should be quite high.
“Okay, please cthis way. Letwash your hair first!”

“So, just a haircut, or…? What about a dye job or perm too? Actually, you’re lucky you cin today. We’re running a special offer now
It’ll be cost-effective if you buy a VIP card…”
Debbie paused.
“Just a trim and perm the ends of my hair a little. And how do I get a VIP card?”
As the grey-hair man dried her hair, he gestured to another young man asking him to cover. When Debbie saw another young man coming up to her, she couldn’t help but marvel in her mind, ‘Wow!
Another handsboy. Why are all the hairdressers here so handsome? Do they need to win a beauty contest before becoming a hairdresser?”
When Debbie knew that the price of a simple haircut was already 1, 200 dollars, she was taken aback. Her lips twitched. ‘God! I’ll never get a haircut in the Shining International Plaza again. That’s way too expensive!
Are they hoodwinking the customers? How can Carlos allow such a hair salon to open here?’ she wondered.
“But if you apply for a VIP card and save 10, 00@ dollars in it, you’ll get an extra 5, 000. And we have different bonuses at 30, 000, 50, 000 or 100, 0@@ dollars. Besides, we’ll give you a coupon for one free hair dye and hair perm which is worth 3, 888 dollars… It’s our 10th anniversary, so that’s what we have for you. It’s really a bargain. You look so beautiful, and to chere more often would only add to your beauty.”
Debbie felt a little dizzy hearing the young man’s endless prattling
They were doing the hard-sell here. It seemed that it would be a better deal to buy a VIP card. She would actually get a 50% discount, if her calculation was right. And moreover, she’d have a free dye and perm…

@@0-dollar card, and that was not chump change. He appeared to have done so easily, like he had a gift for fast talk. It only took three minutes for her to be 10, @0@ dollars poorer.
Even before Debbie’s hair was dry, the handshairdressers had quickly fetched the VIP application form for her to fill in and sign.
They couldn’t show more hospitality to Debbie by entertaining her with fresh fruits and beverages. In no time, a POS machine was put in front of her. So, without moving an inch from her seat, Debbie sealed the deal.
So, with her new hairdo, Debbie was warmly sent off by the handsyoung men. Her hair was dyed brown, yet it looked black; it was trimmed, yet it looked as long as before. Well, the so-called new hairdo didn’t seem that different at all.
In a daze, Debbie stepped out of the hair salon holding the Gold Card in her hand. This Gold Card was given to her by Carlos. She hadn’t brought this bank card to New York and had kept it in another handbag.
She never expected to waste 10, 00 dollars so soon.
She mourned a bit, feeling sad to waste money so impulsively.
Then, she opened the WeChatand posted an update in the Moments.
