Taiwan style shampoo(2)

Here is the layout of a typical Taiwanese hair salon, upper-left-hand-side is the front door, lower-right-hand-side is the restroom, counter, chairs, and other stuff. One cup of tea on the lower-left-hand-stand, one cup of coffee on the right.

When Wingtsung girl Miao-wen went to a hair salon, she went to number one chair first, then an assistant came to her, asked her if she would like to have tea or coffee first( some home style salon won't have this kind of service).

















①: Then the assistant squirted out the shampoo on Miao-wen's head. Usually, a scalp massage and shampoo all in one.


②: 10 minutes later, they went over to the sink to rinse off.


③: Then, returning to the chair, the back massage begun. Then the assistant started to blow dry Miao-wen's hair.


④: Miao-wen paid it out front happily.

In Taiwan, people can go to hair salon just for shampooing, cutting, dyeing etc.. People can do it all together or separate. I guess this is a very special, very Taiwanese experience tourists must have.

We say:
shampoo 洗頭 xi-tou
haircut 剪髮 jian-fa

I want to shampoo my hair.
我 要 洗 頭。
wo-yao-xi-tou

I want to get a haircut.
我 要 剪 髮。
wo-yao-jian-fa
