Trend-oid

I've been going to the same hair salon for almost three years; ever since I came back from Italy recovering from the worst haircut ever and four months of chlorinated tapwater. I loved it, the space was cool, the stylists, receptionists and hairwashers were always friendly and professional. Despite being in a "trendy" neighborhood, it was never pretentious. I was always greeted with a smile by the people behind the counter, usually languid model types, too tired to be bitchy. K, my stylist is super cool and can translate my requests of "lots of layers, something fun around the face but not too poodley" into awesome haircuts. Plus, it's cheap! I mean not super cuts cheap, but it doesn't break the bank.
But yesterday, after another truly great hair cut, I heard a bunch of the stylists and the owner discussing a DJ. A DJ! Truly unneccessary. Then they tried to push products on me. Has the trendoid hit?
