i got a haircut yesterday. cost me 40 yuan, and more that few strands of good hair. the lady who washed my hair was more interested in her own reflection in the mirror. i bore with that. afterall i’m a female customer, which means they cannot introduce me to more services. or so i thought. all the while, during the rinsing, she kept commenting on my face and tried to make me go for a facial. hmm… didn’t want to risk MY FACE! had to try ways and means to smoke my way out. a slick guy ushered me to the seat to cut my hair. i told him i just wanted a neat trim, no layers or anything funny. he went on to tell me he would give me layers in the ends of my hair. i told him no. he nodded. while he was cutting my hair, it felt like he was layering it! i was rather pissed, but he had already started, so the only way to undo the damage was to cut my hair real short. which i felt was worse. and i couldn’t kick up a fuss, my head was in his hands. so i could only sit there and pray. then he used the hair dryer to blow my wispy and sad looking tresses. know what happened then? somehow, my hair was tangled into the small fan at the back of the hair dryer! damn! he tugged. ouch! some strands broke, and the others which were still stuck to the hair dryer was cut away. this hair-tangling-into-the-hairdryer business happened twice!! WTF!! grrrr… my whole head is now really “layered”!
