The Kandy-Kolored Tangerine-Flake Streamline Doyle

Jake, tiring of his Mount Pearl curl and leather jacket, decides to update his look. After tossing his wardrobe and heading down to the thrift shop to pick up some hipster-approved duds, Jake makes his way to the most expensive salon in St. John's.

Once Jake is in the hairdresser's chair he realizes that he has gotten in a little over his head, there is no way that he can afford such an expensive haircut. Of course, he also isn't interested in losing face by getting up before the styling session starts. Jake reaches a compromise with himself, he will just stick to the cheapest dye-job possible.

It turns out that the only colour in the lowest price bracket is bright orange, and Jake has no choice but to accept this gut-turning abomination of a colour (at least he won't have to see it).

The upside is that because of all of the time and effort Jake spent updating his image there isn't enough time for a mystery this week.
