If I lived in England I would probably try different hairdressers, maybe experimenting with different styles and colors. Mainly because I suck at Japanese I stick to the same place (I do the same for doctors and dentists). Being familiar with the process and knowing that they understand what I want without having to explain each time helps a lot. This is all part of the anixety I have living here! I've been going to same hairdressers for about 30 years, I always get the same style, a short bob and color, brownish (but in some light it looks purple). The hairdressers are two sisters. I started going there because the younger sister spoke a bit of English, she had spent two years working in England doing hair and make up on commericals. I felt comfortable going to her, she could understand what I wanted. As the years have past she has lost her English and I have gained some confidence in Japanese. When I went today I was supprised to see the older sister working. Apparently the younger one has stopped working!! I felt rather sad. The older sister did my hair and it looks nice but I missed the lady that usually does mine. I'm also wondering how much longer the older sister can work, she has just turned 74!!! I guess at some point I'm going to have to look for a new hairdressers!!
