doing as the locals do

Although today's classes were quite boring... today had some excitement worth posting about. Our amazing host mom's daughter has a salon here in Florence and was willing to cut my hair. So today was my appointment and Stacey came with me to get her nails done and for some support. When I asked if her daughter spoke English, my host mom said that her daughter could "understand" English, but I decided to bring a picture and to ask Chiara to help me out with some translations for hair terms. My salon was a nice, busy place, away from the center of Florence.. and I was definitely willing to give it a shot. I'm very happy with the way that it came out an the price was good and not a rip off. She thinned my hair for the first time ever and I have decided that I need to find the one hair stylist at home who I trust to do my hair any way that she pleases. Successful haircut in Italy...check!
