In anticipation of our much-awaited Rome blog, we have decided to post a quick blog entry about Sahil's haircut which he got before Rome. Last Wednesday, Sahil ventured out in Cergy (where school is located) to the mall and found a nice salon where he thought he would get a great haircut. He thought he knew enough French to get by, and told the hair stylist that he wanted a shave, shampoo and haircut. Unfortunately, the lady told Sahil that they did not work in a barber shop, in true French fashion, and they don't do shaves. She made it clear that a shampoo and cut would have to do.
After a nice, relaxing shampoo, Sahil settled down in his chair, ready to get his haircut. As the woman approached Sahil with what looked like short clippers, Sahil exclaimed, "NON!" (no in French for you non-French speakers) and tried to explain that he wanted his hair a little longer. After she assured him that she understood, she still brought the clippers and made a gash in Sahil's hair. After a slight shriek, he asked for longer clippers and some scissors, please. After she had finished working the side, the gash looked awful, and Sahil made her cut the sides the same length as the gash. When Mana first saw the haircut, all she could do is laugh!
Sahil refuses to post pictures, but let's just say this is what he looks like:
Sahil minus David Beckham's face =(
Fortunately, the hair has grown back somewhat after a week, and people have come up to Sahil today telling him that they like his haircut. When he has responded by telling them that it is about a week old, he's received some serious laughter! Mana's sister saw him on SKYPE this week and started laughing too! We welcome your comments and laughter!
Sahil is done getting his haircut in Europe!
