Going to the barbershop in Kuala Lumpur (KL)!


Our neighborhood here in KL is great. It has pretty much everything you need within reach. And the other day what Jason needed was a haircut, and so off we went to find a barber. Well, there are plenty of those around us as well! We went to one a block away, and the barber was wonderful! Such a nice person!

Here is the story of Jason getting a haircut in KL...

Opening Scene: Jason opens the door and we are warmly greeted. "Sit down. In the middle." says the Barber. He puts on his white smock, and gets himself ready.

...then he prepares Jason. "Short", says Jason. 
The exchange is brief but the message is clear.
 The Barber swiftly starts cutting. 
He is very focused.

Once satisfied, he eyes the the squeeze bottle 
with the yellow fluid...
At this point I can just picture the words 
going through Jason's head, "What the heck?"

 The Barber pours this liquid onto his hand 
and pats the back of Jason's neck, then proceeds to pour
tons in his hair. It has a cooling sensation, and feels very nice!
It has a very faint citrus smell to it.
It is not gel, and we still have no idea what it was.

Then to Jason's dismay, 
he gets a back massage...he HATES massages!
I am watching this and thinking, "me, me next!"

And finally, once last brushing of the hair.

Closing Scene: Jason asks the Barber how much, to which he replies "12 RM". Jason repeats, "12RM?" as he hands the Barber 15RM and proceeds to thank him. 

The haircut Jason just had, with service we have never seen cost $5 CAD...including TIP!
