'Airdressing Adventures

I enjoy adventures.

Adventures enjoy me.

You could even venture to say that I am pretty adventurous.

Since the last adventure that I took, (getting to Rottweil and back for 21 Euros,) took place several months ago, I felt that the time was ripe for a new adventure.

Coincidently, the time was also ripe for a haircut, seeing as though, due to my aversion to paying the horrendous European hairdresser prices, it had been over a year since I had had one.

BEFORE:

So I travelled to Mannheim, (I can't believe that I have lived 20 minutes away from this awesome city for OVER A YEAR and never seen anything but the train station before!!!!! Incredible!) and met my friend Eva. Together we found THE most expensive hair-dressers in town, and in we went.

The shampoo felt like a massage by a expert Asian in a dress. (Worryingly I am actually qualified to judge this.)

When it got to the actual cutting, I looked the woman straight in the eye, and said in the best German that I could muster: Ich will eine surpris haben, also- solange ich was anderes ist becommen, bitte machen was Sie wollen!

That's right, you heard me.

So, according to my instructions, the woman flipped through her iPad and found a style that she liked. I closed my eyes so that I wouldn't see what was going on. She began cutting.

During my subsequent conversation with Eva, I assured her that, Yes, I was aware of what I had said- and I did know what I was doing.

The good thing about hair is; that no matter how bad it gets- you can always just cut it off and grow it back again.

Luckily, this was not necessary- as instead I opened my eyes, (fourty minutes later,) to find this.

AFTER:


Now that's what's up. =-)
