getting my hair did in korea x3

I have short hair again!  it's getting so hot and i was itching for a change.  since my last perm a year ago, I got a couple haircuts and was left with semi straight hair again.

about a month ago, I went to lucy hair for the second time to cut the last remaining bits of perm and decided to get a magic straight (because i've gotten so used to air drying).  the straight perm kind of just looked like my hair did before I started going curly.  I guess it does dry a little smoother though.  200,000won poorer and I was left with a hair style that I felt very meh about. 

I knew I couldn't get another digital perm any time soon since I had my hair chemically straightened so I started thinking about going short.  I haven't had short hair in 4 years or straight hair in 3 so it was about time!

I didn't want to go back to lucy because of my indifference to my previous visits and the high price by korea standards (35,000won..3x what I used to pay in my old neighborhood).  there's a small hair shop right around the corner from my new house (in yeonhuidong) that I had been eyeing for a while and finally just decided to go there.  I took some screenshots of me with short hair and of gwyneth paltrow's lob and walked out with a great cut.  she cut my hair almost entirely with a razor which I really like.  I didn't ask how much it would be, but it was right around my old price of 13,000won including a nice blowout.  now that is value for money.
