As it happens, one of the lads from my town now works for AHS! He used to travel 9 hours a month (roundtrip) and pay huge prices, but they've taken him on as an employee and now he gets free hair from them, but he's gotta live in the city far away from home.

He seems happy enough with this situation, but when he saw my hair he was very impressed and surprised with the quality and couldn't believe I was DIY (he didn't know it was even possible without a salon).
