Just the other day there was an incident that happened at Blush, I thought you may like to hear about and hopefully find it as humorous as we did. One of our long time clients, lets call him Ben, came in for his monthly maintenance which includes a Men’s Style cut and some waxing. Now, Ben is a rugged sort of bloke that’s worked in the outback for years, drilling for oil and working his arse off. So when he comes to Blush he just soaks up every minute of pampering he can and he’s always been a favourite with the girls with his rugged charm and good sense of humour.
But on this day things didn’t quite go to plan, so please let me tell you more…
As Ben had been coming to Blush for years, he was on auto pilot at the time the incident happened. Normally, we always get the waxing services out the way before hair or pampering takes place. However, on this occasion we had to style Ben’s hair first, followed by his waxing as we were so heavily booked and it was the only way we could have fit him in. So after his shampoo, wash and tingling head massage , he was feeling on cloud 9 and was escorted to his chair.
Up until now things were going pretty smoothly…
Ben then sat down and a with a small oversight from the stylist, who forgot to tell him we don’t have wheels on our hair chairs anymore, Ben then proceeded to try and pull himself closer to the mirror and with his huge pecs and strong hands he almost pulled the whole hair station over and spilt the Marvy Jar (pictured above) all over his lap…..oops.
But here’s where the problem starts…
Now, the Marvy Jar is full of Bac-to-san (pure Alcohol) which is used for sterilizing the hair scissors, combs etc and now Ben’s jeans were covered in the potent liquid. After the usual apologies and fussing around, Ben was offered a robe while his jeans were sent to the Blush laundry department. But this rugged guy wouldn’t budge and sat there, drank his coffee and pretended as nothing had ever happened. After receiving his razor sharp and trendy style cut, Ben was ready for his waxing which normally takes about 30 minutes in which time Ben is face down and has a little fluff taken off his back and shoulders. Now this tough guy doesn’t even flinch when having his back waxed, mainly due to the expertise of our highly trained therapist’s, although on this occasion the therapist noticed he was sort of wriggling around a lot and letting out a little moaning noise.
And that’s when Ben let it out…
Ben said: “Hey Kel, do you mind if I ask you a question?”
Kel replied: “Yeah, how can I help?”
Ben said: “Hey you know that BLUE STUFF in the jars at the hair station – what is that?”
Kel said: “Oh that’s Bac-to-san.”
Ben said: “Is it very strong?”
Kel replied: “Hell yeah, it’s pure alcohol”
Ben said: “WOW, I hope you don’t mind me saying, but that stuff been BURNING MY BALLS for the last hour…”lol
And they both continued to belly laugh for at least the next couple of minutes…you’re a very funny man Ben.
