i like my hair cut by male hairdressors because they seem to be more gentle and sensitive to customers. i've enjoyed all my hair cut trips when attended by male hairdressors. they make me feel they genuinely want to make me look good with the result hair. i'm not saying that female hairdressors are unlike the males. it's just that sometimes, they just cut your hair. of course there're good female hairdressors who give great hair services. but my theory is, the males are always gentler when it comes to hair wash, as their nails are shorter.
hair wash is an art. and a good head massage should always accompany a hair wash. i hate it when female hairdressors scratch my scalp with their nails, simply because it's painful. the nails really hurt the scalp too, when the massaging and washing parts come in.
i had the best hair wash today. the guy (Sean) was GOOD. really. no scratching of the scalp, just gentle touches and his head massage was AHHHHHHHHHHHH, better than good. his shampooing and just spreading the shampoo on my head felt great. when he massaged my temples, i get the ticklish feeling at both sides of my hip. it was difficult not to fidget and cringe when you're all ticklish. but it was really damn shiok lar. 20 minutes of non-scalp-scratching shampooing and wonderful head massage deserve the best hair wash experience ever. it felt comfortable even during the wash. no scalp-scratching, just gentle handling of the hair.
the deal was pretty good. 68 ringgit for a hair cut, wash and treatment. everybody, especially girls, go to Carrefour at Kota Tinggi, the salon at the very bottom level i'm not sure of it's B1 or level 1, just beside the sushi place, and get Sean to wash your hair. satisfaction guaranteed. and if you're like me, who likes hair done by male hairdressors, the salon is just the right place. all male hairdressors. lol. my mum had her hair done by this guy who can pass off as a female. i think he's pretty good too, his cutting skills. don't know what his name is but you can recognize him cuz he has the japanese fashion clothing/hair sense.
in case you're thinking that this Sean guy is damn gay/sissy, he is not. he looks like a chao ah beng from the 1960/70s (my parents' era). but his fingers and hands... my gosh... you've got to experience it. (this sounds kinky but i'm really talking about the hair wash)
=) i'm gonna go back to that salon next time my parents drive me in to JB.
