I never was in a club. Went to a local guy. Cost me about $500 for a rug. I think I probably bought about 4 or 5 over the years. To be honest, before I went sly I'd rarely wear the thing. If I went into the office I'd slap it on with some glue. I've been working from home for awhile now though. Around the house I'd leave the thing off.
Every month, month and a half I'd go to him and get a hair cut at first it was like $40 a pop. Towards the end he was charging me more like $12 a pop. I had it much easier than the guys who signed a contract I'll bet.
