Lisko's American life
Chapter 74
"BOY, here it is." Guise drifted, and the car stopped in front of the barber shop.
Lisko suppressed his stomach that he wanted to churn. On the way, he had been worried about making Guise slow down, but it seemed to have no effect. Lisko also saw that he was definitely a fan of "Fast and Furious".
Lisko paid the fare at will.
"Thank you for your care, you can call me next time you use a car in Denver." Guise reached out from the cab.
"Come, get my business card," he handed out a business card.
Lisko looked at him with a livid expression.
"Well, you don't seem to want it, goodbye." Guise curled his lips, shrugged and hit the taxi, kicking the accelerator, the car had been ejected.
Li Sike shook his head speechlessly. You must buy insurance for this car.
Entering the barber shop, someone soon greeted him.
"welcome,"
Lisko put his luggage aside, observing the surrounding decorations.
This is a professional hairdressing studio. The American barbershop is different from China. No one here will give you a head massage when washing your hair. The American barbershop simply washes away the dust and shampoo There are separate charges for trimming, and two tips are often given, one for the hairstylist and one for the assistant who washes the hair.
The behavior of tipping in the United States is very puzzling. According to Lisko’s understanding, I paid for your service. Why should I give an extra tip?This is the general situation. He had to go to the village to do as he did, and he was really afraid of being spit on coffee and meals by the waiter without tipping.
This barbershop is called "AI's Barbershop" and it is a barbershop specializing in retro oil heads.
Retro oil head is a British style, oil head, custom suits and trench coats, gold-framed elegant glasses, gentleman's long-handled umbrella, seeing these words combined, naturally came to mind an English gentleman.
And this barber shop is focused on men's oily hair and hair repair.
In the past few years, more and more retro barbershops have begun to return to their old business and start new services, because as men re-understand aesthetics, they hope to create their own hairstyles through this traditional technique and service.
These retro barbershops do not have the fancy decorations in traditional hair salons, the hair care lotions filled with counters, and the annoying services of various promotional membership systems. The only thing is the beautifully decorated retro space design and professional services, leading men to renew Back to the age of the gentleman.
The owner of this barber shop, AI, studied in the UK, and opened this barber shop in Denver after completing his studies. Due to the exquisite craftsmanship, more and more customers, the popularity has also followed. Some media have reported 16 American hardcore The retro barber shop, this is the only one in Colorado, and Liske is also here.
More than a hundred years ago, men were actually very willing to go to the barbershop to trim their beards and hairstyles to create a unique look.In addition to enjoying the service, men are also discussing women, sports, politics and other topics in the shop.
These barber shops are more like a social place than a mere shop.At the same time, the role of barber shops in that period was much greater than those of top hair salons. In addition to generating topics, don't forget that the latest hairstyles of that era were all designed in these ordinary barber shops.
This barber shop used to be a very inconspicuous decoration. Since the fire broke out, the boss has invested in repairs. The current style is in the old school black and white style, and it also combines modern brick walls and wooden floors to create a new and old Fusion haircut environment.
Li Sike first chose the service,
Head massage?Click this point to relax your nerves.
Head oil care?Come one too.
Face cleansing and shaving?Lisko touched the scumbag who was a little bit early because of staying up late, and he hooked it.
hairstyle design?Li Ske thought for a while, he had to start over with a new look, and there was nothing wrong with designing a hairstyle.
Then look at the selection of the barber below, with photos printed on it, you can choose at will.
"Tony?"
Liske couldn't help laughing when he saw the first one. In his previous life, every barbershop had a barber named Tony's stalk that he remembered.
This is the real Tony teacher,
Liske then looked at what "Worth, Lynn, Jayne"
"Just Teacher Tony."
First followed the assistant to wash the hair, and pressed the head massage by the way. Lisko almost fell asleep under the comfortable force, and was awakened by the assistant, sitting in the seat waiting for the arrival of the barber.
Nowadays, there are not many people in the barber shop. When chatting with the assistant, I know that the most lively place here is at night. Because the barber shop here is equipped with billiards, darts, and cold beer, so many people come here after work. Take care of your beard, get a head massage by the way, then play games and drink some beer.
Compared to a barber shop, here is more like a club for men.
Soon, a well-organized man with oil head and beard came over.
"This is Tony."
Li Ske looked at him who was sturdy and wearing a British jacket. He always remembered the teacher Tony who was wearing a pink casual suit downstairs in the apartment in his previous life. He would cover his mouth and smile from time to time and pinch orchid fingers.
"How do you want to trim?" Tony took up the apron that blocked hair and tied it.
"I want to get a ponytail."
Liske touched his somewhat excessively long hair and said his thoughts.
"Okay, no problem." Tony took the scissors and turned it around his thumb coolly.He was not surprised by this request, because the British style has a lot of men's hairstyles with ponytails.
Lisko closed his eyes and let him operate on his hair.
"Cha, cha. Cha.,"
The sound of scissors kept coming, and Lisko felt that hair fell on his face from time to time.
After ten minutes, Lisko felt that he had stopped, opened his eyes, his hairstyle changed, but he hadn't seen the shape yet.
"Go and wash it down? Do some care." The assistant came up.
Liske followed to take care of him and took care of his beard by the way. He returned to his seat with water drops on his head.
Teacher Tony was still waiting here, turned on the hair dryer, and quickly dried Lisko's hair.
The final repairs began. He took the shaving knife and shaved the hair tails, sideburns, and the areas where these scissors could not be handled. He wiped hair oil on his palms, and introduced Lisko to Lisko.
"The hair oil in our shop is imported from the UK. This hair oil is an old British brand. It is said that Prime Minister Churchill has always used this before."
Li Sike hasn't studied this, so I think he said very powerfully.
After taking care of the haircut, Lisko looked in the mirror, his flax haircut was tied up, and his slender body was wearing a Burberry blue trench coat, cut-and-length slacks, and CHURCH'S shoes on his feet.
Refreshing, he readily paid the bill, picked up his luggage and left the barbershop.
