This week I went to a Korean hairstylist and got a haircut because the humidity was really not doing my hair any justice. I was super nervous about going to a Korean salon since I didn’t know if they would speak English or not, but luckily my stylist spoke fluent English and I was able to communicate with her easily. The haircut turned out exactly how I wanted it to be and I left feeling brand new :)
