Experience Chinese Hairdresser & Beauty Salon

1 Story – Hairdresser

it is not a big deal to get the hair cut in a different country, isn’t?  I got my hair cut in several countries and I must say it was funny at the Chinese Hairdresser.

Luckily I have my colleague Minwen with me. She could translate what I wanted… although she also doesn’t really understand me ?!?!  Anyway, I was too jetlaged anyway to remember what happened around me. I just needed to select the “grade” of the hairdresser. So I look the less educated one, because it was the cheapest. 58 RMB – not even 10 CHF. After a while Minwen left and I was on my own…  Usually my visit at the hairdresser doesn’t take longer than a half n hour. However, there it took me even more than 2 hours. I was okay with the haircut and tried to find my way back to the office. This part wasn’t easy either. I got lost, so I walked few blocks around the building until I finally found it. 🙂 [picture of my new haircut you can find underneath]

2nd Story – Beauty Salon

Sunday morning was beauty morning. Minwen picked me up to go to her favourite Salon. Time for a Body Massage and for Facial (?)
Body Massage was very very nice. My back was not that relaxed and she had a hard job. One two parts of my back she event had to do “cupping” (schröpfen?). for those who doesn’t it know check out the google images or read in Wikipedia

The facial was also fun. everybody who knows me, know that  i would never ever do that in Switzerland. However, i got convinced and thought why not?! oh my god… how on earth could there be so many different creams, and lotions and tonic water to clean the face, make it smooth and whatever they did there????  The ladies in the salon loved my nose. WTF? Anyway, i took this as an advantage and hope they will also bring me some food for the next break. i was very hungry. so they brought me dumplings on the bed.. it felt like i am on the hospital and everybody cared about me. haha!
