Day of Audra

I finally got to spend some time with Audi this summer. What I foresaw as a lunch date turned into a day of pure awesomeness. The events of our day with my mental notes were as follow:

1. Lunch in Yorkville - Audi ordered a caesar salad that had about 3 uncut leaves of romaine lettuce. It looked delicious, but I've never seen a caesar salad with full out leaves, let alone made with only 3 leaves.
2. Shopping - We visited Holts and almost bought out the entire store.
3. Hair dressers - we went to Chinatown for hot oil treatment.
4. Dinner across the Art Gallery - I enjoyed that we had some more outdoor eating.

My thoughts on the hot oil treatment in Chinatown
After so many awful experiences in Chinatown hair salons as a child, I was skeptical about going back for a hot oil treatment. It was only after I had two recommendations that I decided to give in and see what all of the excitement was about. I told Audra about it and she was down for some low priced hair treatment so we hopped on a subway and stopped at the least sketchiest hair salon we could find: Hair Culture. We read on the sign that oil treatment was $12, when we got up there, they told us it was actually $32. I was confused, but still decided to go through with it. Audra was victim to the upsell and ended up going for the $45 - they showed us that the difference between the her's and mine, was that she had a little vial of mysterious chemical in her treatment. Audi was assigned to a young female whereas I was given to a 40-something year old Chinese man. I was a little nervous at first, but as soon as he began massaging my scalp I knew that he knew what he was doing. Anyways, we were both very happy with our results - our hair was sooo soft in the end! 4.2/5 sss.
