my friend jason and i have been joking about going to this new hair salon “for guys” called Knockouts, which is supposed to be like the Hooters of hair cutteries, and when i told him about this today, he suggested i audit…
so I’ve been told several times by numerous people that it was haircut time for ol’ dobson here, so i gave in to peer pressure and got an edge up. i only get haircuts like 3 or 4 times a year, and i wear a hat everyday, so these things have never been a big deal to me… until now.
I’m in love with my hair “stylist”. she’s cut my hair once before, and i wrote this about her on a local message board that i frequent when i was asking other gentlemen where they get their hair did…
“Ok, I had some time to kill and was in Hilltop so I went into Dimensions Hair Studio. It was very good. A cute girl named Kelly did my hair. She washed it and gave me a DANK head massage(I’m not gonna lie, I was slightly aroused) and did a pretty good job on my hair. I detected some quality flirtyness, but that’s their job I guess kinda. Fuck it, she was into me. It was $20 though, I’m used to a $12 haircut. But she did a good job, I will return for the happy ending and her phone number in 2-3 months.
Oh, side note… while doing my hair she gave her standard small talk “what’re you doing tonight?” and I said going to eat and see some bands play. And she asked what bands, what type of band or some crap. And I said “oh, I doubt you’d heard of them, just some loud rock bands” and she says she’s into loud music and that’s the stuff she listens to and that I shouldn’t judge her by her barbie doll hair stylist facade because she just has to look/act that way for work and she told me to check out some band but their name went in one ear and out the other… but I think she was just trying to get me to ask her to come to dinner/show. Thinking about it, she was def into me. She called me Johnny Cash when my hair was slicked back and she almost landed me for that one.”- july 14, 2008
so today i went back for round two… of course i had an appointment to ensure that i would be seen by kelly again. let me be more descriptive about her looks since this is a full on audit of this place. shes short, “thick” dare i say a little “chunky” without meaning it negatively? has some meat or baby fat on her bones, she reminds me of nicole kidman if she were a foot shorter and were really into Wawa subs or something. ok, you get it. so i sit down, she asks what we’re doing with my hair, bla bla bla. while she’s going to town on my head, she asks if I’m a hockey fan, i answered that i was a very casual fan and barely follow at all, but can get into the sport. she starts telling me how awesome the flyers/caps game last night was, which leads to other sports talk. she says she’s a fan of all the Philadelphia teams, loves the eagles, could watch football all day, every day, and doesn’t get into basketball really because “the Sixers suck”. all of this is said while i am not with a Phils hat, or any philly paraphernalia. she asks what teams i back, and i have to tell her of my unhealthy obsession with the Philadelphia Phillies, so we talk baseball a bit, then she goes back to football, saying “she cant stand Andy Reid”… so legit. i disagree with her, but I’m really into how SPORTS! she is. eventually the haircut comes to an end and i must go. pretty much end of the story until 3 or 4 months of hair growth call me back into her chair, where i can talk sports like I’m hanging out with dudes on a sunday afternoon, get my head massaged like I’m in a fucking spa, and get hit on by an attractive young lady.
so the long/short of it is this, Dimensions pretty much is the Hooters of haircuts. all the stylists are pretty attractive, and you can go in there, talk hockey and get hit on. mike lawson seal of approval.
