One distinguishing feature of Asian hair salons (or at least the 5-6 I’ve been to) is that as part of the shampoo you also get a nice scalp massage, sort of a watered-down (pun intended) shaitsu. Today my stylist was getting her hair colored and highlighted (which is itself weird, kinda like seeing your dentist get a root canal) so to stall for time the shampoo girl went double overtime. Now I know some find the shiatsu-ish thing pretty annoying, but I consider it the highlight of the haircut. In fact, if it didn’t seem impropritiously fetishistic, I’d totally go for a hair wash just for its own sake. Maybe that’s why people go to spas.
