hair cut

the other day I (kevin) was walking through town all by myself when I passes a barber shop. I walked up to the shop from which was coming loud music (maybe people don't like the sound of hair clippers).

ME: "how much for a hair cut?"

HE: "100"

ME "do you cut white peoples hair"

HE: "(he said something...but the music was too loud for me to make it out)" said while shaking his head in the nearly universal sign for "yes".

100 seemed a little high so I walked on. After a few more tasks kinda in a ally way I saw another barber and decided to ask what he would charge to cut my hair. He said 50 ksh. 50cents for a haircut I decided I couldn't pass up. So I stepped inside and got a hair cut. This hair cut wasn't much different from what you would imagine with the exception of instead of a brush to brush away the hair after completion of the trim, they had a brush made from an animal's tail (not sure what animal it may have been from).

As I was getting my hair cut, there was a crowd that gathered around...I'd guess that not may tourists get their hair cut here, and so I bet I was one of only a handful of non-African hair cuts that this man had given.

So there were a couple of small errors that he made...like one really short patch on one side. So danielle had to redo the do.

Will i try this again...I think that I will, but next time I will take danielle with me to show the barber how to cut my hair. I'd bet every time after that I would get a good cut for 50 cents.
