You Don't Mess with the Zohan

The trailer looked ok. The usual Adam Sandler comedy, with an accent this time. Lots of catching up to do in the movies section. I wonder how many movies have been downloaded in the college in these 2 weeks.

Getting a haircut is an expensive affair in America. The cheapest one I have had so far is $12, here in Texas. I cannot see the point because there is minimal labour involved. which generally is the primary reason for such high prices. A simple algorithm for the the process as follows,

Assuming that you have already entered the salon,

1. Write down your name on the notepad at the desk to get in line.
2. Sit down, read some magazine, unless of course you have some other way to pass the time. For some reason, I keep finding golfing magazines in every salon I go to.
3. When you are called upon and finally seated, you will be asked for a number or a combination of numbers. This is the tricky part for they use trimmers. The trimmer trend is catching up in India as well, simple and neat. So basically, there are varied depths which the trimmer can reach depending on the type of accessory attached to it. A zero is just above getting shaved and usually a six is the highest, meaning the least amount of hair is cut. I forgot which number meant what. So I just showed him my photo from first year. LOL. He was a bit shocked, I was expecting that! And then in his Korean accent he said, "Ahh, medium!" In his mind however, it must have been something else like, "Ahh, phat boy want a airkhut!" And anything that cannot be done by the trimmer, usually the finishing touches, is done using the scissors.
4. Do not expect the hairdresser to take out a blade for shaving behind the ears and at the back of the neck. So no point in splashing some after-shave-lotion either.
5. Tipping is customary here. So unless you plan visiting some other salon the next time, please tip for we are at their mercy.

See my point? More than a dollar a minute plus tip! For ladies, hehe, a totally different story.
