Hair cuts

Well, alot of people wonder why I bother getting hair cuts since my hair is thinning and I do not have much hair left.

Well at this point in time, I still have hair growing around the side of my head, and they grow long, so I need to keep it short.

I used to get cheap haircuts, and at one stage even contemplated asking my friend to cut for me, as I know I don't have that much hair. But recently I have been going to exclusive salons to get my hair cut.

My thinking is that I may not have that much hair left in the future to go to a salon, so while I still can, I should enjoy myself.

An exclusive salon brings me relaxation with the music and the environment. The head massage given during the hair wash is fantastic. The friendliness and the service all contributes to a worthwhile experience.

And best of all, even though my hair cut is short, they spend over an hour cutting it, strand by strand with scissors, instead of using a clipper in cheap places. This makes me feel special and cherished as a customer, even though I do not have much hair.

I asked the stylist once why it takes so long for cutting such short hair, and they told me that shorter hairs require greater time to cut than longer hairs as it is important to cut in adjustment to the shape of the head (while the head of people with longer hairs are covered by the hairs). Last time, my hair cut took longer than a female friend's haircut (who had long hair).
