Hair cut

I’ve never had a hair cut in a foreign country. I heard that Asian hair is more difficult to cut than other people’s hair. I tried to find a fair price and average quality. It’s more difficult than I thought. I checked web sites. Some people recommend the hair salon, but some other said “you shouldn’t go there.” I couldn’t find a good one. One of my Japanese friends got her hair cut in London by a Japanese hair stylist. Yes, I thought it was nice, but pricy. My other Japanese friend got her hair cut in Manchester China town. But she doesn’t recommend it. I’ve searched for four months. Finally I got information that there is a Japanese woman who is studying to become a hairdresser. I sent an email to her and she arranged to cut my hair. It’s wonderful.

woow!!!

I had similar problems to get my hair cut in Japan, however, my system is far easier. I just go to the one nearest that seems nice. searching in Japan is useless since all of them wanna cut my hair the same way, frontwards and long, as I was about to participate in a manga movie!

have a nice week!

Yes, each country has its own favour. However, manga movie star sounds cool, doesn’t it;-)

Hi Eriko..

I am glad that I found your blogspot.
I am looking for chinese/japanese hairdresser in manchester .. May I know how to contact the japanese hairdresser that you mentioned? Is she is Manchester? What other services do she offer? Hair straightening? Hope to hear from you soon..#

Cheers

Eriko said...

Sorry my late reply. She doesn't work at a hair salon yet. She cut my hair at her place.

Hi Eriko,

I was searching for a Chinese/Japanese hairdresser on the website and some how I end up with your blog. I know it was 2 years ago that you had your hair cut, but I'm just wondering are you still going to the same Japanese woman for your haircut? Or do you now have another hair salon that you go to? I moved to UK 2 years ago but I'm not as lucky as you. I couldn't find anyone that knows how to cut/trim my hair and this have made me look a lot older and haggard. They seems to only know how to make my hair look like those oriental ladies in the 1970s.

Hope to be able to hear from you. Thank you and take care.

regards,
Chuen

Hello Chuen,

Yes, I still go to her place for my hair cut;)

Unknown said...

Hi Eriko,

Thank you for your reply. Is the lady working in the salon now? I'm trying to find someone who knows how to cut fashionable Asian hairstyle. Would you be able to give me the contact and address? Thank you.

Regards,
Chuen

Eriko said...

Hello Chuen,

She works at a salon, but she is an assistant at moment so she washes customer's hair but doesn't cut their hair there. In her place, she cut our hair. If you let me know your contact information, I can forward it to her.

Hi Eriko,

Is there a way I can e-mail you my contact number? Sorry to be a fuss but because this is a public view site, I don't want to put my contact here. (^_^) Gomenasai.

By the way, do you have the name and where about of the salon that she is working at? I might be going to Manchester tomorrow so if possible I can look up the place. Thank you.

Regards,
Chuen
