A woman apparently dissatisfied with a haircut robbed a hair salon at gunpoint, shot at her stylist's car, then used part of the money to pay for a trim at another shop, police said. Julie A. Anderson, 48, was booked for investigation of first-degree robbery and second-degree malicious mischief.

She said she was a dissatisfied customer," Cobb said.

No kidding!:) I wouldn't want anyone to print this thread out and show it to their long-time hair stylists or barbers, they put up with enough nuts as it is.

Bad, bad BAD, BAD, BAAAAAAD hair day!

I own a salon. We get about one nut a year. Hope I never get one THAT nutty.

All this happened about a mile from my house. Looking at a photo of the woman, her hair doesn't look bad at all, even with a swat team breathing down her neck. But she probably doesn't much care for the Benton County jail coveralls she has on now.

Richland police Capt. Mike Cobb said Anderson demanded $100 from her hair stylist, shot out a window in the woman's car and then drove off. (Herald/Richard Dickin)

My sister-in-law owns a hair and nails salon. Her funniest stories are about people that did some crazy at-home hair dying experiments and then they rush in wanting her to fix it - make it go away - somehow. :)

I have long believed that hair stylists should get together and write a series of books about some of their experiences. They could be best sellers in the comedy book market.:D

Nice haircut.

Somewhat OT: I know a gal who did hair & nails for 26 years. One "day" she decided to go into real estate sales. Oh man. Within about 2.5 years, she sold virtually ALL of her former customers homes or condos. She of course had total rapport with them. She really cleaned up, then retired with low-mid six figures in the bank. Smart gal!

That's interesting, I'll pass that on to my sister-in-law.

Well she did go to another salon to have them fix her hair according to the article. I suppose the picture was taken after that.

[steve86]

Yeah, but they only took some more off. They didn't put any back, AFAIK.

Looks like our photo got changed. That's really going to seem strange to people looking back at the thread someday.
