Locks of Love

I really expected to chop my hair short once I got in Okinawa...now a year and a half later I finally got it done, but funny thing is I got it done in SoCal! Well at least I got it cut at a reliable Japanese hair salon which is a place I've been to a couple times before moving to Oki. Once you experience Japanese customer service, it's hard to settle for anything less! This place reminds me of a dental office...there's several people who will be working on you, but one main guy comes around later to do the critical stuff and the other people just follow his instruction, hand him tools and whatnot whenever he needs it. It's not a big deal in a dental office, but sure is a neat feeling when that happens at a salon! haha.

Well I'm surprised I've lasted this long with a lil one that can tug at my hair at any moment. I can kiss these days goodbye...So here's what went down (thanks to Ila for taking the pics and running after Leyna in between). Since I wanted to donate my hair to the Locks of Love charity, it meant cutting at least 10 inches off. A bunch of people ponytail/braid my hair so it all stays put when I mail it.
..and the chopping begins! Dun, dun, dun......the resulting donation pile. And a lil more gets cut as they style... ...and voila!Feels good to get all that weight off my head!
