The office staff is protective of me, sometimes to the point of absurdity. When I asked about a place to get a haircut, everyone agreed this was something I could not do alone. Sandy, one of Barry's assistants was assigned to accompany me. (Her picture is below) It was very nice of her, but I'm sure I could have managed with handsigns and a picture of my hairdo.
We walked to the beauty parlor past on-the-street shoe repairs, a fruit seller, an alley and several carts selling food. Not an upscale neighborhood. I wondered what would happen to me.
The young man who cut my hair was very competent and new all about the style I wear. I don't think he'd ever cut a Westerner's hair before, but he did really well-- at least as good as at home. The cost for a shampoo, cut, and comb out: 68 reminbi-- just over $8.00.
