a new look

i finally did it.

i got my hair cut. in korea.

i had been putting it off since before i came to korea. then when i got here i was worried that i'd end up with a mullet... since it is alive and thriving here. i was also worried about the cost. it's not something i like to spend money on - the salon. in montreal you can upwards of a couple of hundred dollars for a wash and style - not that i ever spent that much! but i have spent 60-70$ on my hair and just wasn't prepared to spend that kind of money to be disappointed.

well, neolive proved me wrong! when they told me pal chun won (8,000W) i thought they were mistaken... and the guy thought i was a moron for asking five times... i thought he was telling me 80,000W and that i wasn't understanding him... but nope, it was less than ten dollars!
"before" - in the bathroom at the salon.
"after" you can't see it that well... that's why i have the next one...
"after" - in the bathroom at home.
the back - taken by the hairdresser.

there you have it! oh, and did i mention they didn't wet my hair when they cut it. they just sat me in the chair and started chopping away. that was a little scary, but it all turned out! i love it. i doubt it'll look so good when i do it, since she used a ceramic straightener to make the waves, but i'm sure with the way she cut it i'll be able to figure something out.

let me know what you think!

yeah i would have been a bit nervous to get my hair cut in korea, not being able to explain what kind of cut, etc...but it looks like it turned out great! love the layers in the back. and sooo cheap too...you won't believe what they charge here just for a cut...
