took my 15 yr old to a proper salon instead of our barber. same haircut, four times the bill

he's been going to the same barber near the miyapur bus stop since he was 4. this year he announced he needs a 'proper salon'. so we went. they washed his hair, discussed his face shape with great seriousness for ten minutes, and gave him exactly the cut the barber does. he's thrilled. on the way home we drove past the barber, who waved. my son looked out of the other window
