My first HK haircut

This one is for you Kelly:

I haven't had my haircut since I've been here & with the heat & humidity, my thick head of hair has been starting to bother me. As you know I have very thick hair & it tends to get very curly when it is humid. So Monday I decided I HAD to get a haircut. The other Americans at Cadmus have gone to a place that is near our house & have been happy with it. They like that when they wash your hair, you get a head massage for about 10 minutes. Kristin did decide to go for a new look & asked them to do something new for her. I liked what they did, but she was very upset as she claimed it was a mullet. Who would have guessed that they did mullets in HK too!!

The place they had gone to was closed on Mondays (figures). I was just ready for a cut, so I went to another place that I had seen that wasn't too far away. It was pretty busy, but he said if I didn't mind waiting 15 minutes he could get to me. So I got a color & cut. He decided I needed to go darker, so although it isn't black, it is definitely darker than what I had before. OK, big change #1. He said my hair was too thick & curly & that he could fix that for me. So he & his Napalese assistant colored & cut & washed & dried. In the end he took off a lot of hair & did lots of thinning. So when he was done - you guessed it - I am now a mullet head also. It was really horrible when he finished. He left lots of hair long & wispy & cut off all of the curls. I was just too shocked to say anything, so I paid & got out of there. John was sweet & didn't say much. The next night he admitted that it looked pretty bad when I got home. Once I washed it & did my own "styling", it was better, but still not too good. You know it's bad when nobody says they like your new hairstyle. Ashley offered to cut off the mullet for me. I may take her up on it. Someone else said that I should have told him that curls are not a bad thing. So with comments like that, you know it isn't good. I'm not even going to share a photo with you all. At least it grows & I will not be going back to Desmond.
