First Hair Cut In Japan

During this trip I discovered something new. There are so many salons in Tokyo. Including neighbourhood area! I decided to be adventurous and went for a haircut plus colour. Of course with my translator Mei around. The salon's service is very personal.

My stylist sit me at the counter, thereafter discuss with me what I want to do with my hair. She also passed me some magazines as reference. Unfortunately, with my stubborn rebonding straight hair, there's nothing much she can do and so I asked her to layer for me to give it some volume. And then she introduced me the latest 'summer' colour, I chose a darker shade, bo bian, old leow so I dare not wear bright colour. The hair wash was frightening to me. Because the stylists will cover their clients with a piece of white cloth over the face! Not so pleasant for someone who's claustrophobic. Unlike Singapore, the distance between the chair and the basin was quite substantial and I was wondering how is she going to wash my hair, ah! The chair is electronic! It will rise to a height and then slant backwards to the basin! Nice!

The highlight came after everything is done, THE massage - only one word can describe it, SONG!!!!!!
The stylist asked if i'm ok to be massaged, OF COURSE OKAY LA what is she talking about! The longer the merrier! hahahahahaaa....

If you come to Japan, you HAVE to try the hair salon at least once!
