I'm continually amazed by the challenges of getting a haircut here. I've now gotten about 3 cuts here in Shanghai from a very local place. First time cost me 30RMB (about $4.40). Next time, same place it only cost 20RMB ($2.95). Then the other day it dropped to 15RMB ($2.15) plus he wouldn't accept any sort of tip. The folks here do not speak a word of English.
I'm pretty sure the haircuts are terrible but oh well not worth going to an expensive place. I've had cuts where the folks getting cuts in the seats next to me are smoking cigarettes. And always there are a slew of fellow employees who stand around near by and watch my hair getting cut. I didn't think I was all that important!
