Now, I should start things off by saying that I'm a pretty regular guy who is not overly concerned with my appearance, I'm not particularly a slob, but you can hardly call me metrosexual either.A little while back I got an offer from the hair salon I use in conjunction with my birthday where they offered me a free "scalp cleansing" the next time I came in for a haircut. I was going to ignore this since I'm happy with my scalp as it is and don't particularly want it cleansed. But when Mrs. Sunshine-Salaryman saw the postcard with the offer she convinced me to use it since "You'll really like it, it's almost like a massage".
With nothing to lose, since it was for free, I told the salon that I wanted to use the offer when I booked a time last weekend...
Now, as it turns out, a "scalp cleansing" consists of looking at my hair roots through some special type of "hair camera", getting some stuff massaged into the hair for 2-3min and then sitting in one of those machines that are used for perms for 10-15min with a towel wrapped around my head. It made me feel extremely unmanly. In conclusion, I won't advice you against doing this, but know what you will be exposing yourself to before you take up on an offer like this..

Please clarify. Did you feel gay in the good way or the bad way?
Wow! you manage to insult gays & Europeans on one page. I hope it's all tongue-in-cheek.
Martin - Well, this was mostly in a slightly bad way but not extremely so.
Anonymous - Well, I can see that an overly sensitive gay person might feel a little offended, but I don't see how I would insult Europeans here? But yeah, if you're sensitive, I would probably recommend you to not visit this insignificant little page on the web.
I like it how I on this blog, at different times have been accused of being racist to Japanese as well as insulting both americans and europeans.
When you put your balls on the line, there will always be some small % that cannot resist the urge to take a quick stamp on them.
Just know that it will come, and when it does ignore it with a sense of superiority: that's what I do.
jlpt2kyu: putting your balls on the line in the hope of having someone stamp on them sounds like the kind of gay thing someone from "some trashy country in Europe" would do. Still, what Mr. Salaryman does in his own spare time is no concern of ours, though it would be highly amusing to read about.
(The preceding was tongue-in-cheek, and both tongue and cheek are my own in case anyone is getting any funny ideas).
I find it pretty amazing that anyone could visit this page and actually state "I hope it's all tongue-in-cheek", pretty amazing actually.
I'll do that post about ball stamping later on!
Hate to break it to you, but if you actually book a time to get your hair cut, you've already crossed a line...
I think you are mixing up the terms "gay" when you actually mean "undignified." Only a hopelessly straight man would confuse the two. :)
In the USA, I was left in the front window of a hair salon with a towel on my head looking like a tranny channeling Zaza Gabor while the ditsy "stylist" had a heart to heart with her psychologist. Talk about feeling undignified.
