Since Chris and Lisa are getting married, I wanted to make sure I don't look back on the pictures 10 years from now and go "ohhh Casey, look at that dye job..." So I decided to brave it and ask a local salon, Hair Hearts if they could do foreigner hair. They said yes, so I said ok! Gimme an appointment Saturday!
For the hair cut I was brave. I showed him a picture of Katherine Heigl and he showed me some Japanese models. Then he went to town. I liked it but I liked it better after I could style it and put some volume into it! Hoooray! Then it was highlight time. However this is an important difference in vocabulary. Highlights in Japanese mean "Give me a lighter color than this all over my head" while in America, we think small pieces of high dyed lighter, if done well looking like natural summer hair. He was all ready with the gloves and applied some dye to the back of my hair at my neck when I asked what he was doing, where was the foil? 30 minutes later, I think he got what I wanted him to do and I basically shut my eyes and let them do what they thought I meant. I figured hey, either it looks like crap and I cry until it looks good, or they do a good job, so either way this will be fine. I think they used a toner after the girl washed my hair and ran to get MIYAZAKI-SAN, but hey, I'm okay with that as long as it looks good. And yes, when it was blow dried, it was great. Oh and Japanese haircuts are greater than America. It's standard to get a massage and shampoo and style. Yes please :D I'll go back just for the neck and head massage!
This is my friend Yurika. :) She works at the mall. I speak Japanese to her and she wants to learn English but, she's got a ways to go. Such a sweetie. Meccha kawaiiiii!
