Need a haircut?

As every female knows, a good haircut is hard to find. Well, I've been very lucky since arriving in this part of the world.

While in Taiwan I was feeling frumpy and so went in search of a fix. I was very fortunate to get a good short cut by a 40 yr old guy named Here. He spoke perfect English, once taught styling in Hong Kong, and has cut hair for many foreigners. We got along fabulously and I walked away with a big smile.

Today, I was again feeling in need of a fix of some kind. As I was malling at Robinson's Galleria, Ortigas Centre, I noticed an empty salon with a male stylist who had a great cut. I went inside and told him so and asked if he could help me. My hair was washed, my head massaged and I was lead to a very comfortable black leather armchair. As he started snipping, his assistant brought me a good cup of coffee (in a country where instant Nescafe is the norm), and then she massaged my arms and hands. After, she hovered about and whisked away hairs as they fell to my face. Others in the salon came by to make sure I was happy... and I was. I got another great cut. I asked for their calling card. My stylist was Kurt, the assistant was Tanya. Then I read the words under Pranav, the name of the salon... Male Spa. Perhaps that explains my experience there.

I walked away with a big smile.
