• So on the way home today, I passed by this hair salon near my apartment.  it said Wash and Cut $16.  So i think hmmm not bad…just the same as Chinatown w/o the trek….and i was needing a haircut anyway.  And i DO see asian haircutters in there.  So in the salon I go. I am greeted by Russian Barbie and I get my hair washed by this hispanic lady.  it was SOOO softly done…I couldn’t even feel it.  But whatever…it’s better than getting it done by that OLD chinese man at the next sink who keeps looking at me.  Hi daddy. 

  
  

  So i ask Russian Barbie if I can get my haircut by someone who’s good with asian hair.  She directs me to another hispanic lady.  i’m thinking hmm…wouldn’t those two asian lady’s be BETTER at cutting asian hair.  But i give this lady a chance.  I tell her that i want a trim on the bottom and to clean up the layers.  I ask her to razor cut the bottom layer so I don’t end up with a blunt cut (i’m traumatized by years of bowl cuts).  She says to me, “Rrrrrrazorrrr?  i no do rrrrrazorrrr.”  great.  Then she says “I have scissor.”  wonderful.

  
  

  So NOW…i have a blunt cut with scissor cut layers.  I mean i HAD a blunt cut with scissor cut layers.  After I got home, I got to thinking…I got a box of razors that I brought home from work by accident.  how hard can it be?  So 30 minutes later, here I am…sitting at my computer looking like Austin Powers cuz i got hair all over my chest.  and it STILL looks like a blunt cut with scissor cut layers.  I went through THREE razor blades and I did JUST like them girlie magazines said (“how to trim your own layers”).  DIDN’T MAKE NO DIFFERENCE.  I even cut my thumb in the process…mucho blood :(  And I think the back is longer than the front cuz i couldn’t see the back so i didn’t do it!  STUPID magazines with clothes i can’t afford and TIPS that don’t work.

  
  

  Anyhow, nobody take a picture of me tomorrow.  But i DO like to take pictures when I’m drunk…even thought i come out looking awful.  So if you buy me enough drinks, you can take a picture of Jen Wang…almost 24…wearing a blunt cut with scissor cut layers…..mebbe i wear my hair up tomorrow!
