The Haircut Millionaires Get
A CityVoter writes that every customer at Urban Escape gets “the Big Spender treatment.” The Big Spender Treatment® is actually a registered trademark of Metropolitan Millionaire Spa and Salon. The cost of its Big Spender Treatment® is on a sliding scale, equivalent to 10% of the customer’s yearly income, and includes the following amenities:
- Hair is cut with gold scissors and dried with a silver towel.
- Blue disinfecting liquid for combs can be changed to any color upon request.
- The speakers don’t play Gilbert O’Sullivan’s “Alone Again (Naturally)”; Gilbert O’Sullivan plays “Alone Again (Naturally).”
- A pile of money is set in front of the barber chair for children to frolic in.
- Your haircut is complimented by your childhood rival, who is flown in to stand before you.
