Haircuts and such

So, I decided to brave the language barriers and get my hair cut this week. As most of you know (or have seen in pics) my hair is relatively short, so I wasn't looking for too much of a cut. Just a trim to keep things manageable. Being a relatively simple person who doesn't put a lot of thought into my appearance (as can also be seen in the pics), I didn't do any research on hair cutting places. Rather, I just walked around town until I saw a place that was open where someone inside was holding hairspray and/or scissors. So I walked in and told the lady that I would like a "corta de pelo." She asked me how I wanted it cut, and I told her just a tiny bit. She nodded in what I thought was understanding and started cutting away (my hair was dry the entire time - wetting and shampooing hair before getting it cut really isn't heard of here). I'm pretty sure she had never cut curly, red hair before because she seemed a little puzzled. The entire time, she kept trying to comb my hair straight as she cut. As I saw the mountain of red hair beside me growing bigger, I decided to tell her that I was happy and she could stop. I'm positive that if I hadn't of stopped her, I would have ended up with a bowl cut. So needless to say, my hair is consideribly shorter. Luckily nobody here cares and it's super easy to deal with. It just goes to show you that no matter how well you think someone understands you, chances are they probably don't.
