“Haircut So I got another haircut today. It was amazing. Today’s cut was 100% different from last time. I wanted to mix it up a little bit so instead of going to the ‘salon’ in Harajuku again, I chose a local barber today. Man, I’m glad I did! It was cheaper than last time and I was even more surprised today than before. I went into the shop expecting to see everything that was in front of me: a friendly Japanese man, an old fashioned barber chair, and a couple faded hair magazines. But there is always more than meets the eye! I sat down at the chair and the whole placed pulled an optimus prime. The mirror in front of me flipped down, turning into a sink with hidden cabinets for shampoo and conditioner. The chair reclined into a 180 degree bed with cushions softer than a baby’s bottom. Yes, I was very shocked. The barber was fantastic, we had a great conversation about American vs. Japanese barbers, currency, and the corruption of youth. LOL. After the cut was over he pulled out a magazine and showed me some photos of Japanese models, complete with crazy hair. A bit like this:

He said, “”I hate when people come in and get their hair cut like this, I’m like, “”why do you want to turn yourself into something else? A normal cut is so much better.”" I was cracking up. Haircuts in Japan: brilliant.”
