Check This Off My List of Things to do Before I Die - Haircut in Japan

There is one thing every person must experience before death, and that is a haircut in Japan. Seriously, if you don't try this, can you truly say that you've lived? Simply put, the answer is no.

Honestly, before Japan I looked like a complete bum.

Yeah, thanks Fantastic Sam's. I'm really glad to pay twenty bucks plus tip for that.

Enter Japan: I'm able to convey what I want in a second language, and come out looking a lot better off in the end. Not to mention that the entire process is just magical.

Look at that face. That's love, baby.

The haircut may sound pricey at around thirty U.S. dollars, but that includes two shampoo sessions, a shoulder and head massage, and the actual haircut itself. The workers really do their best to make the customer feel comfortable, and without expecting a tip, which they won't even accept. I'm always impressed by the Japanese work ethic.


Not to mention the bitchin' haircut you get for your troubles.

Don't come back to this blog until you've gotten your hair cut in Japan.
