not a kutrate per se, but worth noting ... as part of my ticket subscription, i was given a chance for a "quality grooming experience" at american male salon. this included a wash before, a haircut, a wash after, conditioning, scalp & face massage, hot towel treatment, "spritz of toner," "slash of cologne," and a neck shave.
i guess you should think "metrosexual," but it wasn't as bad as all that.
it also included a "styling," which, when you have 15 hairs on your head, isn't that big of a deal and "neck shave." now if you're balding, neck shave is a big deal. i told my stylist, "do you have a black and decker trimmer? or maybe just a weed eater? you're welcome to quit, you know. you can say, 'i didn't sign up for abusive work practices' and just walk out."
oh, AND, it included a paraffin hand dip. now WHY you'd want to cover your hands in lotion and plunge them in molten candles is beyond me, but if it comes with a "free" sign on it, you better believe i'm there (even if it was something like "hit yourself on the thumb with this hammer").
it was great.
the stylist was korean national, so we talked a lot about missiles -- something remarkably easy to think about as a totally hot asian runs fingers through your hair.
REPEATEDLY.
it would've run $40, which is reasonable considering the service, but not something i'd do constantly without something like a silicon valley day job and no spare time.
all the stylists were female. all the guys seemed "business-like" and not disco-y.
i tipped $10, which seemed fair on zero.
i'm not marking it on the master tally, but this is what kutrate is about.
