Title: Haircuts
Post by: Bainbridge gal on November 16, 2012, 08:37:58 am

Hello everyone!  I'm new here.  I'm a middle-aged American woman in need of a haircut.  When I lived in Ma'anshan, I had one very entertaining haircut that was definitely worth the price of admission, but they barely removed any hair.  I didn't have another decent cut until I visited the states.  I can't wait that long for a cut this time.  Is there anywhere they cut hair and speak a little English? Or, someone who is good enough at cutting fine Irish hair that I wouldn't need to talk?   I'm learning Chinese, but my limited vocabulary does not extend to hair vocabulary.

I am afraid I don't really have any recommendations as far as english speaking barbers go.

But I was interested to read that you once lived in Ma'anshan, since I am considering making a short trip there. As a former resident of that city, do you consider it worth a visit? And if so, what would you recommend seeing?

This is for Luiz.  Ma'anshan has some nice people, parks, and shopping and a larger expat population percentage-wise.  The taxi drivers there are some of the nicest in China. However, we usually went to Nanjing for fun, sites, food.  It was a 40 minute bus ride to Nanjing, where the metro made it really easy to get around.

The difference between a bad haircut and good one is about 1 week.  ;)
