Nillah<\/span>: <\/span><\/span>Getting the perfect haircut is difficult enough. Sometimes it’s even hard for you to describe what exactly you want in another language. Well, the last thing you want happening to your <\/span><\/span>\u5934\u53d1<\/span> <\/span><\/span><\/i><\/b>is the way too short mushroom-like bob.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/span><\/p>\n

(<\/span>Foreign ladies talk a<\/em>bout their haircut experiences.<\/span>)<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/span><\/p>\n

Interviewee A: They came and gave me many pictures, and said “do you wanna this hair style”. But o<\/em>nly in Chinese, so I said it’s ok. Well, I thought how I could communicate with them. So I had to communicate with them with signals. I wanna this, this, this. But, at last they understood you. I think that you will get out of the salon happily and are satisfied because they are so professional.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/span><\/p>\n

Interviewee B: A young girl came and started to make me a massage. I said again like that I don’t want to pay for it. “No, no, no,” they said and co<\/em>ntinued massage. And I was just like a queen. And one guy said to me in Chinese, “I’m making like that, OK?” and again I showed him my photo. He cut and cut, just like, how to say, master of his job, he was like dancing. It lasted almost two hours. Looking at myself and you see, at last I had this haircut and I really look like a Chinese woman.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/span><\/p>\n

C: I had a Chinese friend who wrote it down for me, and basicly it was to say “please cut it short” and I also have a sentence which says “cut it shorter”. Because sometimes men are very hesitant to cut women’s hair short and I think in <\/span>China <\/span>it’s not much of tradition for women to have short hair. So they can be a little bit hesitant, but I want him to cut really short, so that it would last me four months. Because for me, going to the hairdresser here is rather than I going to the dentist. It’s a somewhat painful thing.<\/p>\n

 <\/span><\/p>\n

Nillah<\/span>: <\/span><\/span>If you’re ready to do your haircut in <\/span>China, it’s impotant that you pocket some key Chinese phrases before going under that knife. That, and the moral support of some of your girlfriends, well of me, today I got Emma and I got Hong who are going to accompany me to the hair salon wher I do my hair and they do their hair as well! Well, girls?<\/span><\/p>\n

Girls: Right!<\/span><\/p>\n

Nillah<\/span>: <\/span><\/span>All right! Let’s get that done before shot down.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/span><\/p>\n

(Shots on a couple of small hair salon names)<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/span><\/p>\n

Nillah<\/span>: <\/span><\/span>Hair salons, known as <\/span><\/span>\u7406\u53d1\u5e97<\/span> <\/span>or <\/span><\/span>\u7f8e\u53d1\u5e97<\/span> <\/span><\/span><\/b>can be found between small clothing shops and eateries, in malls, and even in grocery stores.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/span><\/p>\n

(In front of a fancy, high-end salon)<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/span><\/p>\n

Nillah<\/span>: <\/span><\/span>At high-end salons, the prices there are comparable to those in the <\/span>United States. But at most salons here, like the one we’re going into it to do our hair, you should be able to get a decent haircut for much less. So let’s go inside together now, girls!<\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

(Three girls step into hair salon.)<\/p>\n

Nillah<\/span>: <\/span><\/span>\u597d\u3002<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/span><\/p>\n

Nillah<\/span>: <\/span><\/span>She’s giving us two prices here, 38 yuan and 58 yuan. You might be asking yourself what are the differences. Well, in many hair salons, a haircutter’s ability to do your hair when you walk into this salon depends on the years of experience in this industry.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/span><\/p>\n

Emma: 30 yuan or a<\/em>bout 6 U.S. dollars? I’ll take my chances.<\/span><\/p>\n

Nillah<\/span>:<\/span> <\/span>I’m telling with you, I am thinking a<\/em>bout my hair dyed today.<\/span><\/p>\n

Emma: And? Which color?<\/span><\/p>\n

Nillah<\/span>:<\/span> <\/span>I think I’m go<\/em>nna go with this one.<\/span><\/p>\n

Hong: Hum…I just wanna have my hair washed.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

Nillah<\/span>: If you want to get a haircut, just tell your hairstylist <\/span><\/span>\u6211\u8981\u7406\u53d1<\/span>. It’s not uncommon to get a head massage while getting your hair washed. Because normally they’ll take up their time to work up the lather and it’s relaxing. And of course this is the perfect time for you to learn the Chinese haircut vocabulary essentials. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Emma<\/span>: <\/span><\/span>\u5439<\/span>.<\/span><\/p>\n

Hong: That’s good.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/span><\/p>\n

Emma: Well <\/span><\/span>Nillah is having her hair dyed<\/span>, I will have my hair cut. After your hair washed, the chopping begins, <\/span><\/span>but today I’m feeling a bit more adventurous, rather that just having a centimeter off here or there, I’m going to ask my hairstylist to add some texture and layers. To do this, I will say <\/span><\/span>\u8bf7\u5e2e\u6211\u505a\u51fa\u4e00\u70b9\u5c42\u6b21<\/span>,<\/span> <\/span>this instructs my hairstylist to adds some angles and layers.<\/span><\/p>\n
