Having a hair cut in the U.S.

 13th OCT. is my first time having a hair cut in the U.S.. After that my English teacher, Laura said ‘that’s a nice hair cut’, but I think it was just ok. Well, we all know it is expensive that having a hair cut in the U.S., and also I don’t like the ‘tip culture’ here. So I worried about the hair cut, when my hair was getting long.

One day, a senior told me that one of his roommates can do it and he might help me, but the senior forget after that day, so I had to go to a hair salon still. Next afternoon, I went to China town and found a cheapest hair salon in an alley, then went in. The hair salon looked old fashion and a little bit shabby. Although I tried to talk to her and made the air easier, the barber barely said anything. So I just sit and the barber just cut. That’s how it happens. It took me seven U.S. dollars, including 1 dollar tip. I think the price is reasonable, because most of the prices are ten dollars in the main street in China town. This experience is not bad, maybe I’ll go to the same hair salon next time.
