text: I am rockabilly to the coreIn fact I write and shoot for a national hot rod magazine So after doing some research I found the pigs and pomps hair salon and I was estatic at the prospect of getting serviced at what I had hoped to be a billy salon BTW I would like to also mention that I am hardcore butch witha family Anyways my partner and I rolled up with our toddler in tow to the pigs and pomps salon on Rainbow Who knew that what I hoped to be a hardcore alternative salon would be nestled in the middle of a recently built strip mall in the upper echelon hood I was really put off by that but my wife nneeded an edgey cut and I was in need of a fade We walked in only to be greeted by the PTA I was mortified that the only woman working was a frumpy soccerr mom in dowdy non descript tan colored clothes sporting flat blonde hair She was working on barbie wannabe milf and her teenager daughter nWhy cannot botox queens just accept that they should age with grace and dignity and never try to look like they are daughter its morally wrong I digress all eyes on us the lesbian rockabilly family Yah know I get enough crap for being gay and I got to hold my own in the culture I love which is filled with hardcore badass car and bike guys So getting the cold shoulder from the very same people who ruined hot topic was unerving I should never feel out of placenin a business whose name would imply that it caters to the billy community Will i ever go back Never First impressions are golden I was not greeted by a spunky something covered in tats with multicolored hair and that is who I expected to be serviced by Old soccerr moms would screw up my wifes hair and she is got to know what a five zero is or she will screw up my cut As a business owner of a place that is alternative you should be choosing your stylists more wisely The way they look speaks volumes for your company If you owned susies flower shop and the woman working that day greeted me I would buy flowers from her But this is a salon named pig and pomps not susies midlife crisis trying to regain her youth salon It dosent matter if you employee tattooed employees and this one stylist was fullfilling your EEO qouta All that matters is that she was the one reprenting your business that day and is the reason why I and my partner will not be returning After a lil more digging I see that pigs and pomps caters to more of the elite upper class society and that its more of a kitsch trendy title than a mantra Its sad when an alternative salon sells out to the yuppiesMy style is not a trend its my culture
