Haircut Time

I've been in Taiwan for almost 2 months now and my visa needs extending. but it also is time to get a haircut.

It was looking at little shaggy in the back(this was a tough shot).

So I went to one of the many local barber shops and became handsome again.

I noticed Barber shop poles are rotating like in US but they have a much more varied design. Here's the cheapest shop I could find in Tainan. Multidirectional and multicolored pole.

This is where I actually got my haircut.

Not restricted to stripes.

Any shape or color will do.

 pokadots too!

It doesn't take too much to open a barbershop but the personality of the barber determines whether I come back or not. This time the barber was talkative and I felt relaxed. She even tried to tach me a few Taiwanese words. I'll probably go back.

Because I've never had a regular barber, I always like to ask this question before I leave.

"How often do you think I should come in for a haircut?"

Then looking into their face, you can see their mind whorling. If they say "next week" you know something is wrong. The correct answer is "2 months".
