I decided to chop all my hair off again. It's always so cute in this country when it's short. I think the humidity and water makes a big difference, plus a lot of people stare and complement on it since they never see curl like this. I sort of forgot about the whole haircut ritual here. It wasn't actually that expensive considering everything they did.
For about $25 I got there at 12:30 and started off with a neck and shoulder massage. My first massage ever (in any country) and very painful, I have extremely sensitive skin so I was cringing, but after the stressful/emotion week of a lot of overtime and Gretchen leaving I kept telling myself I needed it. Then I was taken behind a wall to sinks where I was put in a massage chair and the girl shampooed and conditioned my hair, during that time giving me a head massage. She put something else in my hair too, but I don't know what it was exactly.
After the massages were finished, another girl came, she was the one actually going to cut my hair. After Angela helped me explain I wanted it all chopped off, she started looking and found the little curls at the nape of my neck and preceded to say "so cute" (in Chinese) about 5 or 6 times during the actual hair cut process. Also during this time, 4 girls that I'm pretty sure worked there would stop near me and watch her cut my hair. It was a very interesting experience. After the cut was finished, they rinsed my hair out, styled it and dried it. Full service!!

The picture I brought in to give the hairdresser and idea of what I wanted. She was worried I wanted the same curls, Kari Russell has bigger curls, but I said not to worry, the more you cut the curlier it'll get!
