    I've been going to the same hairdresser for 20+ years (i.e. longer than I can remember). Follow her from business to business as necessary (three times).

    Sounds like someone was looking for someone with good boobs they could go to regularly.

    Protip: Don't go to Cost Cutters or Australian equivalent. You're not saving anything, and the haircut is always bad.

    How much do you guys pay for your hair cuts? In my city any hairdresser that doesnt look like a workshop is fking expensive even for the most easy jobs.

    I pay about 21 USD including the tip (which is a good one). It takes 15-20 minutes. To contrast Buff, I actually don't even look at it when it's done. I know it's good. Guess why I've stuck with the same person for 20 years...

    It pays not to live in cities.

    edit: To be fair, the younger hairdressers at the place are just as good at it (gone to them when the regular one has been on vacation or whatever). Both of the vocational tech high schools in the area have good beautician programs.

    I've found a great Iranian woman at a local Supercuts, but they now charge you $2 for the "special request" of asking for the same person to cut your hair. What a crock. The haircut is $14 but I always have a coupon, so $15 with tip.

    I usually pay around 6 USD, and that is more on the expensive end because I have had terrible experiences with cheaper haircuts.

    The cheapest one I have gotten is .40 USD.

    Haha, that would be an option if I actually had any hair left for them to cut. I just trimmed a bit from the front and sides at home in front of a mirror to at least make things symmetrical.

    It'd be good if I found a good hairdresser, as well as good boobs. Sadly neither is the case (but mainly because #1 is not the case. Boobs are actually easily found), which is why I'm going from place to place. There's one guy who is cheap and also decent-ish who I've visited twice, but the second time wasn't as good as the first (and I went to another hairdresser in between), which made me think that his performance was either variable, or it depended on how my hair looked as I walked in.

    Maybe I need to do the opposite of Ryll and actually go in to the city and find places there. You know.. a place where I have to book in a week in advance and stuff, as opposed to just walking in and getting whoever.

    Normally the case is that they're "alright" but not great. It's only this one who was terrible.

    Anyway, I did fix it somewhat with a mirror. The rest I make up for with badassery.

    Wow, do you just want to stare at/be pressed against boobies when you get haircuts?!?

    Why the hell would anyone want to do that?!? The value of boobs is in the lack thereof.

    No, I want a good haircut. Boobs was a joke. I actually wonder if a guy would understand male styling sense better or not. No matter how well (or unwell) the hairdresser cuts my hair, they've always had a horrible styling sense with products. :S

    My best hairdressers were gay guys. They were a lot more detail oriented and stylish than the straight women and men.

    You should get your hair braided. Then you get to be pressed in between legs.

    One of the things I hate most about changing duty stations(moving to a different military base) is finding a place to get a decent fade done. It's such a simple haircut, but everyone seems to be an expert at fucking it up.

    If you were stationed overseas you could be lucky and get a flip barber at the PX. Those guys can cut hair.

    I'd be surprised if you couldn't pull the storage device and get it to read on a PC.

    Well, it was probably the hard drive itself that died, because it would freeze whenever I tried doing anything past the main menu.

    Even better, though the file structure for the Wii may be different from Windows or Mac which would complicate things. If the system boots before it freezes, and the OS is stored on the drive, that's a good sign that it's just file corruption and not hardware failure. There are tricks to pulling data from a crapped HDD (unless it's clicking in which case it's toast). You can try freezing the drive in a sealed plastic bag, or installing the drive in an external enclosure. Good luck.

    It's irrelevant, anyway. I already sent my wiiu to nintendo support to repair it, and they sent it back with it wiped.

    How is the wiiu in anycase? Worth the $300? Only games I'll bother playing on it is the next smash bros, zelda, and mariokart. I'm hoping the price drops another $50 but its probably wishful thinking.

    I bought a WiiU and have only played Wii games on it so far. However I am the anti-gamer.
