Haircut

I decided today that I really needed a haircut. Jason has already had two haircuts since we have been here and I haven't had any! My last haircut was in November so I desperately needed one. My problem was that I wasn't sure where to go and I really didn't want to have to go in to town and pay 1000Kc ($50) for a haircut. That just seemed ridiculous to me to pay that amount when Czechs must get their haircut somewhere and I am willing to bet they don't pay 1000Kc since the average czech only makes 20,000KC a month. I have been eyeing these two salons near our apartment for a while and just kept thinking that they would be fine. I was a little gun shy though since I knew odds are they wouldn't speak English. I finally couldn't take it anymore today and I just stopped into one of the salons to see if I could make an appointment. There was one woman who spoke a little english and I was able to schedule an appointment for 7pm. I went to the appointment and Sarka was my stylist. She didn't speak a word of English but we worked it out. I wanted just a little cut off. After she cut my hair she asked my with genstures if I wanted her to blow my hair straight. I said yes in Czech and she blew dry my hair. I paid her and left. For 600kc (including tip) I got a great haircut! Now I know where I'll be going whenever I need a trim.
