The differences are small but noticeable

Going to a hairdresser in Japan could be just another routine task if it wasn’t for the 'small' language barrier and the fact that all the magazines at the saloon only contain people with black straight hair and thus does not offer an option that could work out for a curly darkblond guy.
What would YOU do? Well, Henrik used his well prepared ace: A picture he had cut out from a Danish magazine (we all want to look like actors right? :-D) The ace worked out just fine.

The whole hairdresser experience in Japan was not that different from one in Europe or South America, but nevertheless, there were these small things that just gave an extra feel to it, like when you receive a white warm washcloth to refresh your face with or when they carefully brush away tiny hairs with a miniature brush. These are small things but still characteristics of a high service level that can be found in many situations here in Japan.

P.S. The charge was just 250 d.kr.
