Cutting Hair in China Town, London



My hair was getting longer and heavier, at first I wanted to keep it long and when I go back home I will have it cut by my male hair stylist (always travel up to Klang for my hair cut..............I live in KL). For convenient and quick managed my hair, I always have it tied in short ponytail. But.........I was getting fed up with my hair style, as you can see.................................



Therefore I decided to have it cut now in China town. Why China Town ????



I got used to one Malaysian female hair stylist in China Town, unfortunately she had gone home ???? Illegal worker ??? As the immigration law is getting tougher nowaday, owner of the business will have a big fine if they use illegal worker, and the person will also deported out of the U.K.

She had gone and I have to choose another hair salon. I went to one of the hair salon which was recommended by Resti (the colleague who stand beside me). From the outlook of the Hair Salon, not too bad, all male hair stylists whom have their equipments in the small pack tied around their waist, dressed up to date and modern hair style and one of them was wearing hat (may be bald on the top of his head, just like Prince William getting bald).

But I had to wait for a while. Funny thing was one of the hair stylist (from Hong Kong) chose one of the customer who came later than me, why ???? She dressed more modern and have make up on (also from Hong Kong) ??? rich customer ??? compared to me whom have loose hairs around my face with ponytail and wearing eyes glasses and carried big racksack (laptop inside), may be he thought I only cut my hair every six month, poor old soul, ?? poor customer !!!! At that moment I just kept myself cool not to complain, cos I don't use to complain anyway, and I just can not reply back if people got shape tongue. Sad thing....people just judge other by their look or dress, like me as well.......................

When I saw a guy waved at me and told me that he was going to cut my hair. Who was he ? A trainer ????? He looked like university student more than hair stylist, with curly long hair, big eyes glasses, slight overweight, and wearing jeans and pale T-shirt

Oh my god !! Please help me....................He said come, come, he was going to wash my hair first. Wait a minute, he was not like others who they always consult and give suggestion to the customer first before hair wash. This guy washed my hair first and then showed me some hair styles and asked me what I like my hair style to be, I just pointed to him that I want my hair style like this and this and this, he just said O.K ! Wow, are you sure, man ?????Besides he did not has his equipment tied around his waist, may be he just a normal hair dresser....hope he know how to cut my hair. Actually I was quite nervous...............................just told myself give him a chance...............

To be my surprise, he got a skills and very patience to cut my hair, cos my hair was too thick and too much hair.................... At the end I really like my hair style, it looked much better and lighter than before......................and I will definitely go back to him again.....I did gave him some tips. Forgot to ask his name, thank anyway Mr Big Guy............The counter lady gave me the Salon's name card, she might think I can be their potential or long-term customer......

Therefore never judge people from their look, or dress or......................................
