I'd been waiting for months to get my haircut after my stylist retired, so my hair was getting long. I figured another good stylist would have a lot to work with and I didn't want to chance getting a bad cut from an unknown. I happened to be in San Diego on business when I couldn't stand it any longer and googled "hair salons near me" (the Grand Hyatt Regency). A bunch came up--one even included a massage for a total of $300--which is significantly more than I care to pay for a wash, cut, and blow dry.

Read moreI had the best blowout I’ve ever had here. I am traveling for work and hate drying my own hair, so I booked this a couple weeks in advance. I was able to make an appointment very easily and the salon wasn’t even open the day I went. I had no idea before booking, but really appreciated the service.
