My first haircut in Egypt!

I have been very relunctant to get my hair trimmed by Egyptian barber, after experiencing the way they fix our apartment. Especially after they fixed the clothes hanger upside down.

My last hair cut was done 5 months ago. It grew longer and longer but I still failed to persuade myself to pay the local barber a visit.

I had trouble comb my long hair to my liking (to look like Jing Cheng Wu), the weather is getting hotter and my wife is nagging almost everyday about my hair. She said I looked like a woman from behind, I thought she was referring to my butt...hehe.

Today, I felt that I might be lucky to get a good haircut (man's gutsy sense), and hence I went to the nearby Ryan Hair Salon. The salon is for man only and the barber is a man also. Female don't cut hair for man here, so no beautiful mei mei lor.

First look at the interior of the salon and it doesn't look like the Malay/Indian barber shop at all! Happy lah!

My barber is Mustafa, speak a little English and I asked him to guess my nationality.

Japan, Thailand, Taiwan(wow!), China, America (hmm...why? I don't look like ang moh leh).....all wrong! Lucky, he is quite good at cutting hair.

I showed him my photo of my short hair, and I told him :"Same Same like Beckham!". hehe...

Very heng today, the barber replicated my hair cut quite successfully.

My new hair cut!

Overall, it was a very satisfying visit. Hair wash + hair cut cost me 40LE. As long as they don't mess up my hair, I am happy to pay.

Before I leave the salon, the barber point at my hair on the floor and said :"Your hair many, like what I cut in 1 month!"

Hehe...what a well spent 40LE.
