i know i am xiao... its like 12+ in the morning and i can't seem to get to sleep, knowing that i will have super tired eyes tomorrow and not be able to wake up in the morning...
came back from a long day's work and went to EC house at Ikea to get a haircut. First time at the $10 hairdressing things... Hj and I decided to give it a go cos we just wanted to get our fringes trimmed. Well... my heart was kinda pumping irregularly as i was heading towards Ikea, and wondering what if i turn out super cuckoo and will regret it for the rest of the week, and the next and the next. Hj was kinda apprehensive too but we decided to give it a go anyway.
It was indeed quite thrilling as we slotted our $10 bills into the machine and an EZ-link looking card came out of the slot. Then, we had to troop over to the chairs that are labelled 1-4 and sit accordingly to the order we came. Nope, you are not supposed to leave blank spaces even though the guy before you has really bad B.O. You hafta sit in order so as not to give passers-by the wrong idea about the actual number of people in the queue. *bleah*
Oh well, of course, they always claim that they will cut your hair in 10 mins, but the wait itself is equally long, if not longer. Anyway, it is finally my turn and they opened a 'secret' cupboard to place your bags. Next, they proceed to wrap a' towel' around your neck (except that it looked more like a strip of bandage) and finally the cape-like thingy that all salons use. Of course, the hairdresser takes out a complimentary comb (which would be yours after the cut) and then starts asking you how you would like your cut...
Not wanting to destroy the rest of my hair, i decided to follow the plan and just trim my fringe. I told her i wanted bangs... the cool kind, not the china-doll or psycho lunatic kind... kinda layered and in steps... just like the rest of my hair. Oh but oh no... she did not really understand amidst all that nodding. In about 7.8 mins, i think my hair was done. I told her it was fine, not wanting anymore hair to be chopped off, so i could rescue it, before more damage. Then the last step of the cool vacuum cum hair dryer cum brush thing was used to blow off all the hair left on my face and neck...
well... i stepped out of my seat and kept my fingers crossed all the way, until i realised it was Hj's turn. She walked towards the same hairdresser that i got and the last i heard was "No, i mean i want a side-swept fringe...." I wanted to cross my toes for her so bad...
i don't think the cut was too bad... just imagine Bai Ling's fringe...
ok...maybe not sooooo bad.... but it was at least supposed to look like Ashlee...
or even better... my original idea of a really nice haircut..... the Heidi...
But... no... that's just me dreaming. I still look like me...just less hair infront... but more Bai Ling then anyone else. Well, i can only hope for it to grow out, just in time for Mama Kate's wedding. Ha.
p/s: I can't believed a wrote a whole post about my $10 haircut... amazing.
