Trying out a new hair salon will always be a big risk. Some people come out with fried hair or the worst bobs known to mankind. Catherine Ebs (@cadyebs), who’s from New York City, went on to try a reputable, local hair stylist’s services. She wanted to go blonde, and what was supposed to be a worthy $300 trip to the salon turned into a regrettable experience.
Ebs knew that going blonde would be a slow process, as she had done it before. Her previous stylist was in Texas, so she checked the airline tickets. It was $700 for the flight alone, which deterred her from going back. Ebs did what was reasonable—look for a local stylist in New York City that would turn her into a blonde bombshell.
Upon checking Instagram, she found a stylist with 100,000 followers. It’s indicated that he’s a global trainer, which further solidifies his standing in the hairstyling world. After careful research, Ebs decided to book with him instead.

Ebs’ appointment was at 2 p.m., but she got there a few minutes late because of the city’s notorious traffic. Nevertheless, the stylist acknowledged Ebs’ message, saying that it’s okay if she is a little late. When she got to the establishment, she started ringing the intercom—it’s standard for businesses in New York to share a building. But then, nobody answered Ebs…
