Having been here for over 4 weeks, I desperately need a haircut. To have a hair salon adventure is also on my to-do list, so I went to the Yelp, and found one with excellent comments, which happens to be on my way from the classroom to the apartment.
I first called Nancy, the hairdresser, and made an appointment of 1:00 pm. After the morning class, I swallowed down my lunch and hurried to the Hair Niche. To my disappointment, I made a mistake about my appointment, which should be two days later, that is, on Friday. But Nancy said okay, and made an exception for me. Great!

The next problem to solve is to explain to her how I would like my hair be done. fortunately, my wife has sent several pictures to my phone beforehand, and I downloaded the picture to show her, and explained that I wanted to cut the sides and back very short and left the top long.(I have learned from Siggy about how to say such words.)

The communication is good, and Nancy is very patient and stopped several times to ask my opinion. We also had a very pleasant little chat over my stay here. After all was done, she swiped my credit card, and charged me just 20 dollars. I realized that I didn't tip her, and I was very satisfied with her job, so I pay her extra 3 dollars as gratuity.

It is a great experience to have such a nice haircut in America, and I look forward to the other adventures on my list.

I love your American cut...so very handsome! Nancy looks very proud and shy at the same time. That Siggy thinks of EVERYTHING..."short on the sides and long on the top"...not a typical pedagogical lesson but clealy effective learning : )
