My Asian Hair Cut, Oops.

Many hair cuts here in Beijing are really cool, stylish and very diffrent from the US. On the subway a lot of the younger guys have really cool haircuts that are awesome and edgy. There are a good amount of bangs, sticking up hair, and long hair; I would say "edgy" is the world that best discribes it. I have joined this Asian trend, but not really on purpose.

I went to get my haircut but what I wanted kind of got lost in translation between my friend and the hair stylist. I wanted it shorter on the sides, a little taken off the top but still with some bangs. Well, it's basically turned into a really wide mohawk! He didn't take as much off the top as I wanted and the sides are a little short, but here's the thing, the back is still kind of long. When I told my friend to tell him I wanted it "shorter on the sides" I kinda assumed he would know the back too.

Where I went though is famous for really stylish creative hair cuts, and I guess to get a simple one you have to keep telling them "simple" but in Chinese... this I learned after I was done.

So my haircut is very new, very diffrent and otherwise I would have never tried it so for now I am okay with it, it might change sometime though, I'm not sure when. It seems it would work in any country but the US. Haha. Some people seem to like it and others say that I am not Asian so I can't pull it off. Overall though, there has been good feed back.
