I was looking for a place to get a quick, cheap haircut a few weeks ago and headed over to Pro-Cuts’ site. I typed in my Pasadena zip code and found that there was a Pro-Cuts within a “short driving distance” of me. Great! But then I realized that short distance meant a 500-mile road trip to Tucson, AZ!
I briefly considered driving 14 hours round trip for a $15 haircut. Then I looked up Super Cuts and found three locations between my home and work. Excellent…
Arizona is so nice this time of year though…you probably should have figured out what the tax rate was in Tuscon vs. Pasadena to see where it was the cheapest.
