Lisko’s American Life

"Boy, we're here." Geese drifted, and the car stopped at the door of the barber shop.

Lisko suppressed his stomach that wanted to churn, and he kept making Geese slow down in fear along the way, but it didn't seem to work, and Lisko could also see that he was definitely a "Fast and Furious" fan.

Lisko paid the fare casually.

"Thank you for your care, you can still call me when you use the car in Denver next time." Geese stuck his head out of the cab,

"Here, get my business card," he held out a business card.

Lisko looked at him with a livid face,

"Well, you don't seem to want it, so bye." Geese curled his lips, shrugged and hit the taxi, kicked the accelerator, and the car was ejected.

Lisko shook his head speechlessly, he must buy insurance to ride this car.

Entering the barber shop, someone greeted him soon.

"welcome,"

Lisko put the luggage aside casually, observing the surrounding decorations.

This is a professional hairdressing studio. American barbershops are different from China. No one here will give you a head massage while washing your hair. American barbershops simply wash away the dust and wash your hair. It is separate from the trimming fee, and there are often two tips, one for the hairdresser who cuts the hair, and one for the assistant who washes the hair.

The behavior of tipping in the United States is very puzzling. According to Lisko’s understanding, I have paid for your service, so why should I give an extra tip? The general situation is like this, he has no choice but to do as the Romans do, and if he does not give tips, he is really afraid that the coffee and food will be spat in by the waiter.

This barber shop is called "AI's Barber Shop", and it is a barber shop that focuses on retro oily hair.

Retro oil head is a British style. Oil head, custom suits and trench coats, gold-framed glasses, and gentleman long-handled umbrellas. Seeing these words combined, a British gentleman naturally comes to mind.

And this barber shop is focused on men's oil head and beard trimming.

In the past few years, more and more retro barbershops have begun to resume their old business and start new services, because as men have a new understanding of aesthetics, they hope to create their own hairstyles through this traditional method and service.

These retro barbershops do not have the fancy decorations in traditional hair salons, the counters full of hair care potions, and all kinds of annoying services to promote membership systems. The only thing is the beautifully decorated retro space design and professional services, leading men to renew Back to the era of the gentleman.

The owner of this barber shop, AI, studied in the UK. After finishing his studies, he opened this barber shop in Denver. Due to his exquisite craftsmanship, more and more customers came, and his popularity followed. Some media reported that there are 16 hardcore shops in the United States. This retro barber shop is the only one in Colorado, and Lisko also came here especially for it.

More than a hundred years ago, men were actually very willing to go to the barbershop to trim their beard and hairstyle to create a unique look. In addition to enjoying the service, men are also discussing various topics such as women, sports, and politics in the shop.

These barbershops are more of a social place than a mere shop. At the same time, the role played by barbershops in that period was far greater than that of those top-level hairdressing salons. In addition to creating topics, you must not forget that the most fashionable hairstyles in that era were all designed in these ordinary barbershops.

This barber shop used to be very inconspicuously decorated. Since the fire, the boss has invested in repairs. The current style is an old school black and white film style, and it also combines modern brick walls and wooden floors to create a new and old style. Fusion haircutting environment.

Lisko chose the service first,

Head massage? This point, relax your nerves.

Head oil care? Come one too.

Face cleansing and shaving? Li Sko touched the stubble that was a little bit stubble from staying up late, and ticked it off.

hairstyle design? Lisko thought about it, he had to start all over again for a new look, and there was nothing wrong with designing a hairstyle.

Then look at the selection of the barber below, with photos printed on it, you can choose at will.

"Tony?"

Lisko couldn't help laughing when he saw the first one. In his previous life, every barber shop had a barber named Tony, and he suddenly remembered it.

This is the real Tony teacher,

Lisko then took a look, what "Worth, Lynn, Jayne"

"Just Mr. Tony."

First followed the assistant to wash his hair, and massaged his head by the way. Lisko almost fell asleep under the comfortable force, but was woken up by the assistant, and sat in his seat waiting for the barber to arrive.

There are not many people in the barber shop now. When chatting with the assistant, I know that the most lively place here is at night, because the barber shop here has billiards, darts, and cold beer, so many people come here after work Shave your beard, get a head massage, play a game, and have a beer.

Compared with a barber shop, this place is more like a club exclusively for men.

Soon, a well-groomed man with a well-groomed beard came over.

"I'm Tony."

Lisko looked at the burly man wearing a British-style jacket, and he always thought of Mr. Tony who was wearing a pink casual suit downstairs in the apartment in his previous life, who would cover his mouth and smile from time to time, and pinched his orchid fingers.

"How do you want to trim?" Tony picked up the apron to block hair dandruff and tied it on.

"I want a ponytail."

Lisko stroked his somewhat too long hair and expressed his thoughts.

"Okay, no problem." Tony twirled around his thumb with the scissors in a very cool way. He wasn't surprised by the request, since the British style has a lot of men's hairstyles with ponytails.

Lisko closed his eyes and let him operate on his hair.

"Cha, cha. Cha,"

The sound of scissors kept coming, and Lisko felt that hair fell on his face from time to time.

After ten minutes, Lisko felt that he stopped, opened his eyes, and his hairstyle changed, but he still didn't see the shape.

"Go wash it off? Do a nursing care." The assistant came up,

Lisko went to the nursing care, and by the way he had his beard trimmed, and he returned to his seat with drops of water on his head.

Teacher Tony was still waiting here, turned on the hair dryer, and quickly dried Lisko's hair.

The final repairs began. He took a razor and shaved the ends of the hair, sideburns, and places that these scissors could not handle. He applied hair oil to his palms and introduced it to Lisko while rubbing it vigorously.

"The hair oil in our store is imported from the UK. This hair oil is an old British brand. It is said that Prime Minister Churchill has been using this before."

Li Ke did not study this, so he felt that what he said was very powerful.

After getting his hair done, Lisko looked in the mirror, his flaxen hairstyle was tied up, his slender body was wearing a Burberry blue windbreaker, tailored slacks, and CHURCH'S leather shoes on his feet.

Feeling refreshed, he paid the bill readily, picked up his luggage and left the barbershop.
