Chinese New Year haircuts



Salome did not like the look of the barber coming our way! But since she was now two I decided it was time for a short trim. Salome did great sitting on my lap and watching Miriam get her hair cut at the same time.


I know I am biased. But this is gorgeous hair for a two year old.




The place was a zoo! I guess in China it is very important to get your hair cut before Chinese New Year (which starts Jan 23). So every chair in the shop was packed! I was thankful we got in.
Since most Chinese do not have naturally curly hair (not to mention red hair!) I have them wash and then blow dry Miriam's hair straight before they cut it. The cut is a lot more even and Miriam loves the straight hair look!




Miriam- the final product. She looks about 19 with her hair straightened! She has been so cute all week "checking" herself out in the mirror to make sure it is really her hair!

  2. Great idea with blowing the hair out straight. It was always a problem getting hair cuts for us girls. A very good tip to share with other foreigners.
