I have no problem paying more for higher quality goods and services. There's some things that are really worth a higher price.
At Mankind, I paid about twice what I can pay for a really good haircut at a few other places in Toronto, outside the downtown core.
So, what am I paying extra for at Mankind? They include a paraffin wax treatment, which is nice, but I probably wouldn't really feel like I need every time I get my hair cut. You get a warm towel face treatment. I don't know what else to call it. It's another inclusion that feels slightly pampering, but that I wouldn't say is a must-have for a haircut.
I've come to appreciate the simpler experiences. Ultimately, I pay more at Mankind, and the last few times, haven't even come out with a haircut I was altogether happy with. And that's what I went in for in the first place...
