My first Haircut

History:

In New Zealand, I had finally found a hairdresser I could rely on. No matter what he did -even if it was the complete opposite of what I'd asked for- I knew it was going to be OK. No tears for me after a haircut! Ridiculously overpriced, but I was happy to pay for the security, the way my head felt afterwards, and the a-mazing head massage always received at the conditioning side of life.

So needless to say, I was a teeny bit nervous about finding a good hairdresser and being able to convey the importance of the moment to them in German.

Thankfully, Ingo also needed a haircut, so I put my wussy I-can't-cope-on-my-own boots on again, and went with him to a nice little place in Morbach.
Also good tip: take photos! and use lots and lots of gestures: "here, and here, short here, long here...." and don't sit down until you're quite sure they know what you're talking about!
I was quite happy :) Not only was the hairdresser very lovely "your German is really good!" "no really!" (thanks, but I'm not stupid ;)) she was also very competent. Only 2 things that I found a little bit wrong hehe
1. Conditioner people??! where was my massage!? (at a quarter of the price of my NZ hairdresser I'm not really too surprised though ;))
2. I realise having thick hair is something many people would love to have (and I DO love having thick hair) however that doesn't necessarily mean I want to have BIG hair. Mousse + hairdryer (without a narrow attachment) + some contraption that puts more air in the hair while flooffing it up more + wax + hairspray = 80s disaster.

But because the cut was so awesome it just took a wash (with conditioner) and a little bit of straightening to get it looking pretty ok :) First haircut experience overall rated pretty high!
