Appointments

In the U.S., or at least in and around Boston, it takes forever to get into see your stylist at a hair salon. The last salon I went to in NH opened their books for bookings for 6 months in advance. This meant when I would go in for a haircut I would make my next two or three appointments. Here you can call and get in with your stylist in the same week...even on a weekend! It is so strange to me. It isn't just salons either. It is appointments in general. The kids doctor was hesitant to schedule an appointment for the summer and my doctor didn't want me to schedule my next visit which is only 3 months away. They always say to just call when it is closer to the date. This is hard for me since I will forget that I need to call. The upside is that they always have availability since everyone calls at the last minute.
