The Chop

so i did it. i got me a haircut. and this time u can tell.

i went to the hairdressers.. sat down... and the hair dresser asked me if i spoke chinese. i said im really bad at it. so she continues to speak to me in chinese. *yeah.. i don't mind if u can't understand me*

so she asked me what i wanted and so i told her.

Me: ummm i wanna get my hair cut to just above my shoulders.
Hairdresser: (in chinese) yeah... no u don't. that's too short for you... you want something longer.
Me: umm but... i've always had long hair... like my hair is always the same... and my friends told me i should get it cut short.. and so... thats why im here *nervous laugh*
Hairdresser: but you'll have to maintain it... ur hair wont flick and curl.. short hair is hard to maintain.
Me: yeah that's fine.
Hairdresser: ok so you want it longer.
Me: *whhhhhhhhaaaaattttt*

why do hairdressers always insist on telling how i do and dont want my hair. one time a hairdresser told me not to get a side part cuz my hair line wont let it happen. LIES ive had a side part for years now.

u guys know im not good at standing my ground with these ppl... but i really had to make a slow creep to get my foot in the door.

i... have.. long hair.
i have always had long hair..
i would like to have short hair...
to get short hair i need to have it cut
please, please cut my hair..


so she started to work on my hair. after two minutes..
Me: ahh could i get it cut a bit shorter?
Hairdresser: *picks up peice of hair to show me she cut a whopping 2cms off*
Me: yeah.... i thought thats more like a trim...sorry i was umm hopin to get a haircut?
Another hairdresser: that is a haircut... haircut is at least 2cms

suddenly i'm in a class for HaircutDefinitions101

but in the end... i got my hair cut and it is short. and guess what.. it flicks and curls by itself. hairdresser's don't even know my hair :P




btw im not gunna send the photo to the hairdressers to prove them wrong, i mean... i wouldnt stoop THAT low... *seals envelope*
