Haircuts: Well I have been in China about 9 months now. I have gotten my hair cut about 9 times in that period. There are many places to get your haircut in China in the complex that I live in there is at least 6 different stores. From the sign I know where I get my hair cut is a 100% officially registered Vidal Sassoon Salon I wonder if Vidal knows it (I highly doubt it).There are three haircutting guys at my place, and about 10 girls that sweep, give massages and wash your hair. The hair dressers can be broken down as follows:
Mr. Mole: This guy has a mole on his neck with a huge hair growing out of it, and when I mean huge I really mean huge, we are talking at least half a foot, I am not sure when this fashion trend came into style I thought only Karate Masters that were a hundred had this, so I guess this means that in his off time he studies karate. I have had 2 haircuts from him, his mole hair sometimes hits me in the face yes its gross as can be but it does tickle.
Long Nail: 3 haircuts from this man who has pinkly finger nail that I tell you it is 2 cm long and sharp as a knife, I have seen this individual clean out his ear wax with it about 1 minute before he cuts my hair. Nice guy but the self grooming in the store in front of customers has to stop. He likes popping zits on his face in front of everyone, NO I AM NOT KIDDING.
That 70’s Guy: This individual is by far the best haircutter and luckily for me I have gotten 5 of my haircuts from him. The thing about him is he is a thinks its 1970 my buddy Luty needs to meet this guy, the fashion and the hairy chest and I am not kidding at least 6 gold chains are time traveled right from 1970. Add in the 3 rings on each hand and the Magnium PI mustache and he puts a smile on your face every time, sometimes I have started to laugh sitting in the barber chair as this guy is just to funny to look at.
So what does my 45 minute haircut, 2 washes, and a head massage cost me, just about 3 dollars toss in my regulatory 3 dollar tip 1.5 to the lady who washes my hair (I have a little crush on her) and 1.5 to the guy that cuts it. The end of every month when it is haircutting time is like going to Vegas, who will I get Mr. Mole, Finger Nail Man or 70’s dude, always a great way to start my day.
