Last night it was pouring rain here. I was on my way back from walking with my friend to the subway (she didn't know where it was) and I saw a bunch of girls huddled in the doorway of a ministop (7-11). Koreans HATE getting their hair wet. It must take forever to get it perfectly straight which is the preferred style and (I can sympathize) rain destroys all that hard work. With various hand motions I offered to walk one of them to a cab under my umbrella and a lady came with me. She was very nice and knew some minimal English and I ended up taking her to a bus because none of the cabs would stop. She ended up giving me her card. She owns a hair shop and I think I might be getting a free haircut!!! I am in dire need of some highlights and a cut. I hope she does white-girl hair!

  1. Good luck with your hair. When I first moved to Arlington I went to a korean hair dresser (b/c it was close to work and I didn't know it was a korean haidresser) and they did a really good job, it just took them a very loonnnngggg time (like 4 hours) to highlight my hair!

  2. Just think if you don't like it you have plenty of time to grow it out....
