Lesson 72 – Getting a haircut in China
Hello, everyone. Welcome back. This is Baixue’s Chinese
Language Learning Program. Last time we talked about how to see a doctor in
China. Today, we will talke about how to get a haircut in China.
Ok, about the haircut in China, I have several stories
from my American friends in China. I will take one to share with you. My friend
visited one hair salon in China, he told the barber “hen xiao” (very little)
with his fingers signaling. But the barber boy thought that my friend wanted to
keep his hair very little. Next you know what happened to my friend. So I was
told by my friend that getting a haircut is one of the scarier things about
everyday life in China if you do not speak mandarin very well or cannot express
yourself very well. To prevent this kind of thing from happening to you, today
we will talk about getting a haircut in China.
If you are prepared for this, you will have no problem to step inside
any Chinese barber shop or hair salon.
