| - Asians tend to be very intimidating. Although, I am one, I lack a backbone when pressed by pushy women. This is why I used to go to western style hairdressers. Ann, on the other hand, is the complete opposite. I felt bad for this woman, because my mom would incessantly talk about me when I was in Korea. I came to realize this when I sat down and she asked me very detailed questions about my stay abroad. Instead of just a stylist, she felt like my aunt. I appreciate this detail because she honestly listens to her client. This transcends the idle chit-chat and manifests itself in her attention to detail and guest input.
Back to the backbone, I used to avoid Chinatown for haircuts because the hairdressers always told me what I should get or stay away from without going into detail about why. This is not the case here. When my aunt came to visit, she wanted to get a haircut, but Ann politely declined to cut it. She did so because my aunt had finished chemo not too long ago. Instead of just cutting it, taking her money, and get to the next guest, Ann puts great pride into what is best for her client. I admire that. Men haircuts are $10, while women range from 15-25 for different lengths.
