Sally it's not because of the money, it's just that he doesn't like them. i dont know if i really want something permanent either, coz i go thru phases. my belly bar only lasted 3 months and short spikey hair only lasted bout 3 months too. i am still in the dark phase and have been for quite a while now, because it suits me and gives me some time to myself. i get my colour every 3 months and my cut every 6 weeks.
