I got a haircut by different guys the first two times. Both times were pretty ok. The third time I got a new guy. His work was absolutely terrible. He left the back and the sides really thick and barely cut anything at the top. Being scared that trying another new place would be even worse I ventured back to the first one again and got the same guy. This time I tried to give him directions, using sign language and sound effects like: "Why do you make my head look like a kaboooom (atomic bomb mushroom cloud)". It didn't help. During the following weeks I went into a severe depression and a recordlong streak of not getting laid. All hope was lost. I didn't even look myself in the mirror anymore. Then in a moment of desperation, giving up all hope I decided to shave off nearly all my hair. I went to another hairdresser. It was a woman. Somehow she inspired confidence in me and rather than cutting off all the hair I told her "half", and formed my fingers as a sizzor running accross my hair. She got it. And she did a great job for RMB 15! I was back on track again. I went to this barbershop on Zhongshan Lu. I got a haircut by different guys the first two times. Both times were pretty ok.

My husband found a barber down an alley who cut his hair. It turned out better than he had back home and for only $1.60.

I, include my colleages, we are afraid to do haircut in sweden, not only for language problem, also price and service there,i think the barbershops service is better than in sweden, maybe you are a little not used to that.
