So I decided to get a haircut. The school has a cosmetology department where you can get a haircut, but I decided not to go there. I didn't want to feel obligated to go back if I didn't like it. So Hannah and I headed out to see what we could find (and experience). I told Michele that if I come back bald she'll know why.
Anyway, getting a haircut in China is quite an experience. They wash your hair (as you sit in the chair). Then they cut it...very fast...kind of like Edward Scissorhands. Then they wash it again!! And here's the kicker...all for 10 yuan ($1.50)! No tip is required in China for things, yet I tried. She wouldn't take it, just smiled and waved good-bye.
Hannah and I decided to give her an English name. I think "Barb" the barber works!
Until my hair grows back.... later.
