Urgh. I can't decide. I do like Leanne. Also, I am a Miss Priss because I like having my hair washed and all those little extra posh things. Bbut also, maybe I just can't afford my own standards. Also, Nick gets his hair cut at Big Hair. Bbut also, he's a boy with a basic boy haircut. I think I need to sleep on this one.

1. You only get your hair cut two or three times a year.
2. It's better to go to an expensive stylist you trust than end up with a crappy, cheap haircut that you'll have to pay the expensive stylist to fix anyway.
3. You don't want to make L3anne cry.
4. It's not like you get manicures/massages/pedicures/facials so this if your one splurge is getting a good haircut from someone that you like and trust, NO BIGGIE.
5. A good hair cut is the foundation for a polished and professional look.

Oh and here is a horrible story, in case the justifications weren't enough:

I used to pony up to get a good haircut at a nice salon in Atlanta but then I lost my job so I went to a cheaper place and got a haircut for free by the shampoo guy who was going to hair school and he gave me a TERRIBLE haircut that sent me down the road to haircut ruin that lasted for TWO YEARS. Now you can have my beloved Valerie B when you pry her off my cold, dead hair.

I believe we've been over this, actually.

HORRIBLE: h[O with a dot over it]r-[schwa]-b[schwa]l
WHORE: h[O with a dot over it]r

where [O with a dot over it] = like the AW in LAW

There are alternate pronunciations for each word:

HORRIBLE: h[A with a diaresis]r-[schwa]-b[schwa]l
WHORE: h[U with a dot over it]r

where [A with a diaresis] = like the O in MOP or the A in MAR
and [U with a dot over it]r = like the OO in FOOT

But these are both listed second in Webster's, which leads me to stand firm in my belief that HORRIBLE and WHORE have the same vowel sound.

horrible = [hawr-uh-buhl, hor-]

[aw] = all, or, talk, lost, saw

So unless "all" or "talk" can be pronounced with the same "o" sound as "whore," then I and the East-Coasters stand validated by dictionary.com.

(XP)

They are indeed pronounced the same. People get confused by the R, which changes the way you vocalize the sound, but the vowels in HORRIBLE and WHORE and OR are closest to an \AW\ sound than anything else.

The way East Coasters say HORRIBLE and ORANGE is closer to an \AH\ sound.
