Who gets a haircut while on vacation? Me! If you are an Asian gal/guy who lives in a city where there are no Asian hair salons, you can probably relate. Our hair isn't forgiving at all; need a specialist.
Anyhow, I decided to swing by Korea Town, hoping to get a much-needed haircut. Luckily this salon accepted walk-ins, and my hair stylist, Miyuki, took a good care of me. I got both the hair color and haircut done just the way I wanted, for a very reasonable price.
I believe some of the hair stylists were Japanese and some are Korean. I had no problem communicating with my stylist in English though. The salon looked clean as well. (I've seen a lot worse in California where I used to live.)
Maybe I just need to cross the border on a regular basis for a haircut... From Pittsburgh, Toronto is closer than New York City, after all. :P
