As I sat there waiting for my business mentor to get his hair cut, he turned to his barber and asked if they'd cut my hair. I got my hair cut and head shaved right before I left for the Philippines, about two weeks ago, but considering my shaved part is high maintenance it's due for a trimming.
The barber said sure and then asked one of the free barbers if they'd do it.
I sat down in the barber chair and smiled. I had just watched this particular barber cut a young guy's hair and it looked so sharp so I was confident he'd do a good job. I think I was more confident than the barber though; he was so nervous.
Turns out they've never cut a girl's hair here.
Beads of sweat formed on the forehead of my barber's head so I did my best at not making him more nervous by looking down and just relaxing in the chair. I'm not so hyper about my hair though. I'm not girly like that. But I do love a good shave. I love it when they do the thick part and clean up the lines so it's crisp and super clean.
I had only asked the barber to shave the one side, not to touch the other side, but I think today's shave was one of the longest ones I've ever had. Having said this though, I also think it was one of the sickest shaves I've ever had. The attention to detail this barber gave was incredible and I loved it how he pulled out the straight blade to clean up my lines.
Broke barriers here in the Philippines getting the best head shave ever and it only cost me 280Php, $7.57 Canadian.
