hair in under 4 minutes

The Dyson hairdryer was launched in September 2016, and I wanted one.

First, I loved its aesthetics.

But more importantly, every review was incredible. Fast. Easy. And Quiet. But the price tag was just too high.

I tried to justify buying it.

I'd use it two or three times a week.

I hate blow-drying my hair and usually give up after 10 minutes. My arms get tired.

But in the end,  I couldn't sell myself.  $400 is too much money for a miracle hairdryer.

But then something happened.

Every December employees are offered a big discount on cosmetics. The promotion runs for seven days, and that's when I stock up on moisturizers, undereye creams, and Molton Brown body washes (these make the best bubble baths). On the very last day of the promotion, a couple of employees come in and ask, "Can you tell me where the Dyson Hair Dryers are?"

What?! How could I have missed this? I had no idea we even carried them.  So I go on a search, and learn — they were available on the first floor, but of course are now all sold out.

But I'm resourceful.

I find an associate who knows the barcode and can locate it for me at another store. I order one and pay $204, before tax.

So is it worth it?  I think so.

Maybe next time I'll use a brush instead of just myfingers.  But still, not too too shabby for four minutes.



And I just need to say,  selfies are really for people under 30.
