"That's a fun name! Now, how do you want it today?"

I finally went to get my hair cut today after about three weeks of "I think I need a haircut" moments in the bathroom. I go to this semi-chain place called Rudy's, which sort of caters to the Capitol Hill hipsters around "Pike-Pine Corridor". It's set up like a co-op, where hairdressers take people on first-come-first-served basis, instead of usual appointment system. This means every time, I get a different person, and a different haircut.

I find myself going back to this place, though it isn't especially convenient for me (there are several other choices that are closer or about the same distance from my home). The results vary widely, to say the least. It's not especially cheap, either.

So why do I go back? If it's not the product (the haircut), can it still be called brand loyalty? Maybe. I think it's the familiarity. I've come to expect the hipper-than-thou clientele, the nonchalant reception when I walk in. I have learned to enjoy finding a spot among the blood-red chairs, staring at an old issue of iD, or listening to Jeff Buckley or Cat Power wailing on the store PA, which is always on, a tad too loudly. It's rather odd to think that this hipster joint became a familiar, comfortable place for me to frequent, but I guess some things are starting to rub off on me after two years.

Also, I do like the thrill of not knowing what my new haircut will look like beforehand, and of sometimes being subjected to fresh-faced hair school graduate who would pinch the back of my neck. What's life without a bit of surprise, eh?
