One thing I didn’t expect to need while abroad was a hair cut (hår skære). Since my travel break with my Urban Studies class is coming up, I figured this was the week to figure it out and get my hair chopped.
I went to the place advised by my school, a School for Hairstylists, where its a bit cheaper than a fancy salon. The woman who I got to cut my hair didn’t speak any English, but surprisingly we understood each other very well and she cut my hair the perfect length!
(sorry, no pictures of the hair, but here’s a pretty mural)
The experience was similar to a beauty school in the United States, where you: get your hair washed, then cut, then dried. It was actually much more relaxing not being able to “chit-chat” as my eardrums were able to enjoy the quiet atmosphere(except for the hairdryer of course).
