I do love getting my hair cut, but yes, all the other stuff that gets marketed as "pampering" and "treating yourself" tends to make me awkward. I do remember once having a facial, and there was a bit where the woman was doing "extractions", and I just thought, "I'm paying someone to squeeze my blackheads. Something's gone really, really wrong with global capitalism."

The one that really stuns me is the idea of getting a bikini wax as "pampering"!
