Went to Yess Salon to get a haircut after my tuition session today.
Though I had not intended to get any stylist in particular to cut my hair, I have to admit I was a little disappointed that Lancelot wasn't around. Seeing that his namecard wasn't there, I thought he no longer worked at the place.
It wasn't that he was exceptionally handsome or anything like that, it was the fact that he was nice to me, even though I was a mere mei4 mei4and probably didn't look like I've got a lot of purchasing power. In my lifetime I have met loads of hairstylists, mostly female, some male, and most are nice but for various specific reasons. For eg, Aunt Liping was nice cause she knows my Mum from way back, Aunt Jennifer was nice because I had always gone to her salon when I was younger. The rest were nice cause they were hoping to push hair products. A few are not even nice. Therefore it struck me when he was so gentle, nice and I guess xi4 xin1 with my hair. Not only did he not push the products, when I asked for recommendations for hair products he seemed to hesitate and didn't recommend much. It felt like he knew I probably didn't have too much money and was thinking to help me save money...
Zhixian mentioned once that there are many cases whereby there are girls who find themselves liking their male hairstylists, I suppose I do like him, but not in the same way lah. I like him in the way that I'd probably always trust him with my hair. ;)
Turns out Lancelot's off to Australia to work. He must be really pretty good to be sent overseas to work I guess. I wish him success in his work!
The lady who cut my hair today was Linda. Guess what! She was the assistant manager! Wow! I didn't realise that I was so lucky. In any case, I'm pretty happy with my hair now. It's getting a little bit more pong4, think some time next month I'd probably want to get it rebonded again. Sigh.... Another expense expected down the road...
Now if only my family were a little more supportive. My Mum said my hair hardly looked cut at all! Psst! At least I know better, I got to see the hair collected on the floor after the cut. It's lighter, I feel better about it, and that's all I care about. =)p
Was going to go backward and write about the orientation and our night out at Zouk but maybe I'll leave it for tomorrow or something. Not really in the mood to write a whole lot today. Till the next time, ciao!
