SEOUL TRIP - GETTING A HAIR CUT AT HONGDAE

I needed a trim so when I stumble  upon this salon at Hongdae I quickly went inside. The girl at the reception showed me the price for a trim is 30000won and I said ok. I do think it's a bit too pricey but I was too lazy to look for another shop.

 It was quite an experience since most of the time when I went to hair salon, the first thing they will do is wash my hair. There....the first thing they do is offered to take your coat/sweater/bag.how nice right.

After the girl showed my seat, she asked me if I wanna tea/coffee and I quickly declined since I just had coffee earlier. A few minutes after that she asked again and this time I accepted.  I wondered why she didnt offer to wash my hair though.Next to me there was this guy who is getting a haircut too. It took me a while to noticed that all the assistants are not allowed to do anything before the hairdresser aka charlie give his order. Even the two assistants helping charlie with the guy next to me was only doing things like took photo and hold scissor and just taking notes. likes, he will cut left side and talk something in korean and the assistants will take photo and take notes and nodding. hehe.I found it amusing.



After waiting for like 10 minutes, Charlie came and greet me in english(korean english).
"asking me where im from, if I can speak english, if I had fun in Seoul, and when I ask if anybody famous ever come get their hair done there..he suddenly said yes, im very famous!
hahahahahah!

He spoke to the girl who showed me my seat (in korean) and then I get my hair washed. it just a normal hairwash..nothing special. no massage either.Haih. After the girl  blow my hair a bit, Charlie started to cut my hair.




Remember when I said I told the reception girl I wanna a trim only, no I didnt get a trim. I get a new hair style instead!. I just too scared to say anything to him.Even the girl that assist me earlier just give me a grin when I look at her. Somehow I think, he noticed my worried face and asked me " you dont like it?"
I felt bad, so I said it was ok.haha

THE FRONT AND BACK.    





 I like how the back turn out..but the front part was..haih..hahahha. but still thanks Charlie.
