Hello everyone,
I have two questions regarding getting your hair cut in Japan. The first part is mostly practical, the second mostly concerning language. Excuse me if this isn't in the right forum.
1) Salons vs. 1000 yen cut: Right now I mostly go to the 1000 yen cut places. The expensive hair cut salons of 4000 yen and up, just don't make sense to me. I'm curious if there really is any difference between the experience everyone has had between these places. What would make the more expensive salon place worth it?
2) How to explain what you want?: Unfortunately, there never was a chapter in Japanese language books of "visiting the 1000 yen haircut place" so the vocabulary for explaining what you would like in a haircut can actually be rather frustrating at times. Does anyone know any resources online for vocabulary phrases to explain typical requests at such a place?
Right now I end up with very limited explanations like: 窶慊ッ窶堋カニ湛ニ耽ニ辰ニ停?ケ窶堋ョ窶堙ァ窶堋「窶堙??堋キ窶堋ッ窶堙?、ナ津コ窶堋ウ窶堙ーツ静倪?堙≫?堙??堋ュ窶堙ェ窶堙懌?堋ケ窶堙ア窶堋ゥツ?ツ Or the dangerous one,ヒ?ェニ短ニ停?愴蛋窶堙ーツ静倪?堙≫?堙??堋ュ窶堙ェ窶堙懌?堋ケ窶堙ア窶堋ゥツ?ツ Which was interpreted as not to cut off 1cm, but to cut down TO 1cm (luckily I noticed this) It has proven very difficult to explain things like ツ"Could you cut just a little bit off to even everything out?"ツ As I end up withツ ツ渉ュ窶堋オ窶「ツスツ行窶堙俄?堋ォ窶堙≫?堙??ーツコ窶堋ウ窶堋「ツ。ツ But this doesn't seem to make sense.
Any resources or tips would help.
