Hair Did

I knew the day would come, when I would have to do something with my hair in Korea, but I was dreading it. I just honestly didn't know where i was going to go. But I had to ask some sorors, cuz it was getting rough, and they were dropping those subtle hints, like i know where you can get your hair done. lol. So a trusted soror told me about Ms. Chong shop at family hair care.
So I wen to the shop in Itaewon (westerners hotspot) and it was a nice quaint shop. I really liked it. To my surprise there was a woman of African descent there who spoke Korean. Her accent sounded like she might have been from London or the Caribbean. I am not quite sure. So I was the lone customer at first. Ms. Chong felt through my hair and was like umm, you want motions? I was like ok. ok.

Then she called the woman of African descent, was called over to do my hair. I was like man this is tight. Then i noticed everyone was watching, and there was a whole of talk in Korean going on. They obviously done perms here before, the the crowd dissipated. Then next thing you know another client comes in to get her hair braided. She says hi to everyone, and then as she sitting under the dryer and I'm still in the middle of my perm, when suddenly the other client whispers loudly so Tasha does Perms now? I'm like WTF? We are not serious. So this explains the crowd, I must be one of her first heads. I was like damn. The last thing you want to hear is that your some one's first perm. Then I saw the finished product and i was extremely happy. I must admit that they can't get all the credit, it was in part due to the fabulous cut that my four club's mom gave me a couple of years ago. I can honestly say that was the best cut anyone has ever given me in my life. But man my hair was off the chain. After tasha permed it, Ms. Chong blow dried and flat ironed it. I mean my hair was just blowing in the wind. Also, the customer service was off the chain. I am going back in two weeks to get braids, and probably a mani and a pedi. I will be a regular there and proudly spread the word, because I even got a nice massage of my neck and shoulder. My hair is even surviving working out everyday. I don't know what to say. :) I just hope that I can find someone as good as them in America. :) I am so excited that I found someone on my first try, at a reasonable price. :)
