At the hair dressers... some key phrases to listen out for when you're going for a hair cut!
I went to have my hair cut in a hair dressers in Shenzhen today and had the obligatory hair washing and massage that came with it. I know how to ask for my hair cut, washed and my head massaged and can say if the water is hot, cold or if I feel comfortable or not. As for hair styles, lengths of hair and anything else I have no idea! When the guy asked how I wanted my hair (I heard ‘。。。。。。。。。。。怎么样’) cut I gestured at my head with my fingers at the length I was happy with and said ‘不多’ so he wouldn't cut too much off.

What are the common things that people ask and are given the responses to in hair dressers in China? I think answers to this could help other 老外 in China.

Thanks!
