I just got my bangs cut tonight. It involved a combination of my broken Japanese, their broken English, and lots and lots of miming. He said it cost 1015yen; that would convert to $13. This is way more than anybody would ever change in the US for a two minute service. Even considering that things cost more in Japan, I have to think this is pretty steep. I have no way to know if that is what they normally charge but I was already there, in desperate need, and not sure about my other options.
The two gentlemen there were very nice and the one who cut my hair did a good job. It couldn't have been easy considering my hair was simultaneously sticky and frizzy having walked and biked in the storm. I can see again! Yatta!
It sounds like it was worth it, after all. You are so brave, Dawn!
