Cowboy Caleb Visits A China Hair Salon

Normally, whenever my hair gets too long, it’s a sign that I’ve been in China for too long and I should fly back on the next available plane. But these days, I don’t go back so often. And to make matters worse, the next time I fly back, it will be just in time for the Lunar New Year and all the hair salons will be charging 2X.

So on Sunday, I went for my first evar haircut in China. Hair salons are very busy places in China. I kid you not. They are staffed with many good looking young boys with all kinds of ridiculous hair cuts. Their main source of revenue are women who come in for Gan Xi or Dry hairwash at the end of their busy day. So that means the hair salons are open until like really really late (4am).

Obviously, I did not want my head to be handled by some gay young buck so I went around looking for a hair salon with upmarket hair products (Keratase, Schwarzkopf etc) and not too many customers. Having found one, I went in and told them I wanted a wash and a trim. They promptly asked me to lie down on a bed with a basin at the head.

So far so good, it’s pretty much like home. But to my dismay, instead of assigning a lady to wash my hair, they assigned some gaylord out of Meteor Garden instead. And the damned gaylord proceeded to wash my hair for 45 mins!!!

Then they sat me at a chair in front of a full length mirror. I had never noticed the elegant bulge of my genitals gently pressing against my jeans before. No wonder I’ve always been blessed with the opposite sex. Hahaha.

So they asked me if I would like the RMB100 or RMB150 cut. I ask them to elaborate what the difference is and they told me that I get my hair cut for a longer duration of time for RMB150.

WTF?

So the price has nothing to do with the skill of the hair stylist? No. Only the duration of time he is going to spend styling your hair.

Anyway, I went for the RMB150 just in case, and 30 mins later I realized to my horror that he had cut my hair the exact same style as his own. And he didnt even bother to ask me what kind of cut I wanted, the cheeky bastard!

Fuck my life!!!

lol poor cowboy.

Now that was funny… you should be lucky he did not want to give you a free ‘waxing’!

did you get “special service”?

i want to see your new hair! haha!

now you can pass as a hairstylist and go around massaging random strangers’ scalps

HAHAHAHA I WANT TO SEE!!!!

My new hair is short. And spiky.

Looks young mah! So humpsome..

So funny your post! i hope it didnt turn out that bad.

It’s seem a common practice to visit hair salons for wash, especially in wintertime…..the wife & sisters in law often visit the salon in Zhuhai. And these salons mostly deals with regulars.

Pix or it didn’t happen!

This is Hilarious, I cant wait to see how you look like so I can laugh my ass off
