Had the most expensive hair cut of my life on Wednesday, 30 Sep 2009. AUD$30!!!
OK, it may not sound it is a lot, but for a man who usually had his hair cut for S$12, AUD$30 allows me to have 3 hair cuts in Singapore! I could have opted for the AUD$9.95 budget hair cut. But the one I had in April that costed me AUD$9.95 is a total disaster. My fringe was flat like a bang. I didn't realize my flat fringe until I went home because the hairdresser gel my hair after the cut. So I vow never to step into that hair salon again! ZQ went to that same salon yesterday and he saw the same hairdresser that did my hair cut. He was praying so hard not to have that hairdresser and lucky he, he managed to save himself.
So this time around, I braved myself to go to this hair salon just across the street where I stay and try it out since I always see tai-tais who came in Mercedez, BMW and other expensive cars. So before I commit suicide, I went in and asked the price. AUD$30 for a cut and wash. Although I find it expensive, I thought I should give it a try since so many tai-tais frequent this salon. Boy, I was pleased with the result although my Singapore hairdresser could do the same for S$12. But being here, I cannot complain much. Just have to live with it.

But one thing I have to mention, is my anxiety during my hair cut. Back in Singapore, I can allow my hairdresser total freedom to do what she thinks is best for me. I can even doze off during the hair cut! But here, although I know I am in better hands than the budget hairdresser, I still can't help but feel uptight by the entire experience. I was stiffening myself up unknowingly. As much as I would like to relax, I just can't seem to have the same comfortable feeling of my Singapore hairdresser. I guess all of us are used to our own hairdresser...
