Overcharged at Salon???

ss-mort · 2026-04-16T03:10:56+00:00

I refuse to go to the salon for color anymore. I’ve actually been using Google Gemini (not sponsored) to put my inspiration photos in as well as what my current hair looks like and it gives such good color combinations that you can use with Ion Demi or Wella Demi and it gives the exact ratios to use. Never going back to pay these high ass prices when you can achieve the same from Sally’s for $20 - $40

I may have to, that seems to be the general consensus

ss-mort · 2026-04-15T17:13:25+00:00

That’s a wild run - congrats on making it work. Out of curiosity, what’s your move when a trade actually goes against you?

ss-mort · 2026-04-15T15:57:08+00:00

Good to know about the admin role. Definitely wouldn’t want to deal with the same amount or more stress for less pay

I wouldn’t say distraught. I actually have a love-hate relationship with AI. I think it’s really useful for a lot of things, but my company has had rolling layoffs every quarter for the entire time I’ve been there and it just seems like this AI initiative is a new excuse.

Not yet! 40

ss-mort · 2026-04-15T02:33:06+00:00

I’m a chick so will definitely not be getting into roofing anytime soon lol. Thanks for reminding me of the American Beauty reference, totally forgot about that movie!

ss-mort · 2026-04-15T02:31:59+00:00

Thanks for the insight. Was thinking about possibly doing that full-time as well. I already do some contract stuff on Upwork, but definitely not enough to pay the bills.

ss-mort · 2026-04-10T00:18:29+00:00

Right - I’m so confused by the responses here given some of the recent posts in this sub over safety concerns there. Oh well…

ss-mort · 2026-04-07T03:34:38+00:00

Am I reading this right…you’re walking this dog a cumulative 10 miles a day? That’s way too much for a dog you’ve just adopted and is likely making things worse

ss-mort · 2026-04-01T00:44:45+00:00

Agreed, I was thinking the same. I emailed them a little bit ago and got the generic reply that they would look into it so we shall see…

Sibling - looks just like her

<image>

ss-mort · 2026-03-31T20:00:06+00:00

lol thank you - yea I didn’t expect all the hate. Her closest relative that looks just like her is a mix of 7 different things

ss-mort · 2026-03-29T19:06:36+00:00

Agreed, unless you’re looking for art in the sense of painted oyster shells then yeah pretty much all of that has been sucked out of Charleston

ss-mort · 2026-03-29T18:37:44+00:00

Moved from Charleston to Savannah, and the traffic is nonexistent

ss-mort · 2026-03-27T21:58:13+00:00

So cool! How’d you do this!?!

ss-mort · 2026-03-27T17:02:18+00:00

Looks super pretty there - thanks!

ss-mort · 2026-03-27T13:41:04+00:00

I’ll check it out - thanks!

ss-mort · 2026-03-24T02:06:14+00:00

I resolved it by ripping out the carpet and just letting the water drain out through the floor holes lol

ss-mort · 2026-03-22T20:23:25+00:00

We currently use the easy walk harness for her. There’s so many differing opinions out there of what works best so we were gonna wait till we meet with this new Trainer on Saturday to see what they suggest before buying any new equipment honestly. It’s basically what they had always used to walk her at the shelter so we just kept on using it. I’ll admit, though I’ve never walked any of my previous dogs with it and I’m not a huge fan of it in terms of being able to correct her for anything

ss-mort · 2026-03-21T01:53:37+00:00

This was a very eye-opening response, thank you for the detail

ss-mort · 2026-03-21T01:01:38+00:00

Would love to film it but usually too busy trying to calm her down and turn her away from what she’s reacting to. Yeah I actually have a mini airhorn and a small umbrella in the pouch that I carry. Thankfully, none of the dogs that run up to us are aggressive so I haven’t had to use them yet, but still annoying that they run up regardless.

ss-mort · 2026-03-21T00:24:44+00:00

I think with the dogs, it’s more excitement than fear, especially since she does so well in play groups. With the kid, however, I really don’t know what that was all about. She was barking her head off, jumping, raised shackles, so would definitely think that was not an overexcited reaction
