haircut tips
important things i look out for when getting a haircut:
1. "how's the water temperature?" - when they wash / rinse your hair, the person on the other side of the sink should ask this simple question even if the answer will normally be a grunt of approval of sorts. it shows that they care, which is important in good customer service.
2. shampoo scent - i've had bad experiences with salons that use the weirdest smelling shampoos...why the hell would i want my hair to smell like "wild oak"??? i don't plan on nesting any birds in there anytime soon...so anyway, decent smelling shampoos are important too.
3. head massage - red alert!!! this is one of the determining factors in my ratings for a hair salon...almost as important, if not more so than the cut itself. when i go to cut my hair, i want to feel relaxed...the closest thing i'll get without going to a spa. call me whacko (or george michael), but i enjoy getting my head (on my shoulders) massaged more by men than by women. this is cuz they have more brute strength to knead out my woes and worries...and god knows how much strength you need for that. besides, most of the time your eyes are closed when they're washing your hair, so it doesn't matter who's doing the massaging. especially when you can use your imagination...angelina jolie's good btw. haha.
4. the towel between the gown and your shirt - yeah, you know what i mean. i hate it when i get little snippets of hair in my shirt. i once had to buy a freaking new polo t-shirt from giordano's on the spot cuz the snippets were irritating me so bad. so make sure they put a towel or something there. trust me, no one likes to see you scratching anything in public...even if it itches that bad.
5. don't speak - no doubt. personally, i'm not exactly the gossipy sort...so unless i've met you enough times to know your name, do not tell me the recipe for gong pao chicken (it happened before)...try to keep secrets to yourselves (they're called secrets for a reason)...and i definitely i don't wanna hear about your boyfriend's hairy chest (yeah, i'm talking to you, jack). i'm only here for one reason...so cut the crap, and i'll be on my way. haha.
6. the cut itself - some hairdressers just don't listen. it's as if "how you want it cut?" is part of the routine. "short on the sides, and spare the top" leaves me with an ns men's hairdo. most of the time, to avoid this scenario where i go home disappointed, i just tell them to be original, be creative, and make me look like brad pitt. buahahaha. ok...i was lying about the brad pitt part. normally i'll say hidetoshi nakata. hahaha.
btw, i just came back from hair talk salon in holland v...try them. they met most, if not all of my criteria. ask for this guy named "kookai". prepare $40 though...hey, no such thing as cheap and good anymore. cheers. =)

Your hairstyle been looking real "tud" despite your increased $$ in haircut. You look MUCH stylist in your blog profile photo frankly. Your enlarging face not suitable to copy Hidetoshi Nakata's crew cut, consider one with spiky top as it hides your block head n lengthen your face.
