At the Barber

Its summer, and the weather has been getting hot. CH's hair has grown out of proportion (again!), 5 months after his last haircut. "Its messy, and hot!", was the frequent complaint. He had started looking out for barber shops when we are out on the streets. But no luck, they were closed whenever we checked out.

Finally he decided to make the visit one weekday after work.

We went to the barber shop near our place. There were 2 hairdressers working on the customers, while another 2 waited in line.

When it was our turn, the hairdresser draped the cloth over him, put a white band around his neck, then asked how short a cut he'd liked, on a scale of 1 to 6.

"Half a inch left", CH requested.
"That would be 4 then", confirmed the hairdresser. (1 means almost "botak" or bald)



So begin the buzz, as locals call it. The hairdresser wasted no time, working furiously away, rolling the buzzer from back to front, left to right, repeating back and forth, never stopping for a moment.

In no time, the job was completed. The whole process got me slightly shocked - to see the thick strands of hair falling to the ground every second. Its a lot of hair.

And the outcome? See for yourself.

Cool?
