Hair Salon

At home I only get my hair done once every six months. Ok, most people probably do it way more often than that but it is expensive. Here you can get a haircut plus a massage at a nice salon for 30 rmb (just under $5.00). You can get a cheap one for about 8 rmb (just over $1.00). I was sort of scared they wouldn't understand me and mess it up so I made Danny come the first time I got a haircut here. After I realized they include a shoulder message I started thinking I should do it more often. One night after dinner at our favorite hot pot place with our friends Hiraa and Aquib we all went to get our hair done and massages together. It is sort of a nice, cheap activity to do here. They do tend to fluff up my hair though and make it all poofy. I think it is because Chinese people have really straight hair and it doesn't really get poofy so they assume everyone wants more volume. Maybe next time I'll just get the massage.

  1. If I could get my hair done and a massage for $5, I would be going every week! =) (But I hear you on the extra poofy issue.)

  2. Most salons here offer a hairwash + blowdry for about 18-20 rmb (around $3). Typically this includes a shoulder/neck/arm massage. It's pretty good.
