visit to the Friseurin

aka, my first haircut since I arrived in February...

so for me, getting a haircut can be a little scary... I have had some real disasters in my past with some pretty awful haircuts...

and that is when I could speak the language of the hairstylist!

Well, unfortunately I missed my opportunity while in the US.  So despite warnings that I would end up with a mullet (there are a shocking number of Europeans sporting mullet hairstyles, it does nothing to alleviate hairstylist fears!), I decided that I had to do it, and so I did, I got a haircut in Germany!

and it turned out pretty cute, if I do say...  I brought in a picture of Heidi Klum (pictures = 1,000 words right? and she has a beautiful hairstyle and she's German so I thought maybe I would get some bonus points? :) So the picture did help and it wasn't so bad... I could basically communicate with the picture and hand gestures in place of poor language ability. I guess now I don't need to wait so long!

haircut! hallelujah!
