So Friday I finally went and got a haircut, my first one ever in Spain. Last time I was here we all avoided the situation by simply not going and letting our hair grow. We had seen the crazy hairstyles that the Spaniards had and along with a few horror stories about trips to the peluquería (hair and barbershop) we decided not to go. This would not work this time since I have a job and feel that an afro wouldn't be appropriate. I probably had to wait about 45 minutes before I got my haircut and it was rough. I was sitting there all nervous, contemplating getting up and leaving. I was even sweating. It turned out to be okay though. Once he started cutting I knew it was no turning back and I just had to wait it out to see the outcome. This was also the first time I had ever had anyone use clippers, a razor and scissors to cut my hair. He did a decent job, it is a little bit shorter than I wanted but its all good. I am going to continue going to him and I think he will get a little better each time.
