Lisco'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. Along the way, he kept nervously asking Keith to slow down, but it didn't seem to have any effect. Lisko could also see it. He was definitely a big fan of "The Fast and the Furious".

Lisko paid the fare casually.

"Thank you for your concern. You can call me next time you use the car in Denver." Geese stuck his head out of the cab and said,

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

Lisko looked at him with a livid face,

"Okay, you don't seem to want it, so see you later." Keith curled his lips, shrugged and drove the taxi. He stepped on the accelerator and the car ejected.

Lisko shook his head speechlessly. You must buy insurance when taking this car.

Entering the barber shop, someone quickly greeted me.

“Welcome,”

Lisko put his luggage aside and observed the surrounding decorations.

This is a professional hair salon. Barber salons in the United States are different from those in China. Here, no one will give you a head massage while washing your hair. American barber salons simply wash away the dust and shampoo.

It is separate from the charge for trimming, and tips are often given in two parts, one for the hairstylist who cuts the hair, and one for the assistant who washes the hair.

The tipping behavior in the United States is very puzzling. According to Lisko's understanding, I have already paid you for the service, so why should I give you an extra reward? The general situation is like this, and he has no choice but to do as the Romans do, and

If he doesn't leave a tip, he is really afraid that the waiter will spit in his coffee and food.

This barber shop is called "AI's Barber Shop" and it is a barber shop specializing in retro oil hair.

Retro oil head is a British style, oil head, customized suits and windbreakers, gold-framed elegant glasses, and gentleman's long-handled umbrellas. When you see these words combined, the appearance of a British gentleman naturally comes to mind.

This barber shop specializes in men's hair and beard trimming.

In the past few years, more and more retro barber shops have begun to return to their old business and start new services, because as men re-understand aesthetics, they prefer to use this traditional technique and service to create their own hairstyles.

These retro barber shops do not have the fancy decorations of traditional hair salons, counters full of hair care potions, and various annoying services that promote membership systems. The only thing they have is the beautifully decorated retro space design and professional services, leading men to re-

Back to the days of gentlemen.

The owner of this barber shop, AI, studied in the UK. After completing his studies, he opened this barber shop in Denver. Due to his superb skills, he received more and more customers and became famous. Some media reported that 16 American hardcore barber shops

This retro barber shop is the only one in Colorado, and Lisko also came here because of its reputation.

More than a hundred years ago, men were actually very willing to go to barber shops to trim their beards and hairstyles to create a unique look. In addition to enjoying the services, men also discussed women, sports, politics and other matters in the shop.

kind of topic.

These barber shops were more like a social place than a simple shop. At the same time, the role of barber shops in that period was much greater than those of top hair salons. In addition to generating topics, don’t forget the latest fashion of that era.

Hair styles are all designed in these ordinary barber shops.

This barber shop used to have a very inconspicuous decoration. Since it became popular, the owner has invested in renovations. The current style is an old-school black and white film style, and it also incorporates modern brick walls and wooden floors to create a new-old feeling. Integrated hairdressing environment.

Lisko chose service first,

Head massage? Give this a try to relax your nerves.

Head essential oil care? Get one too.

Facial cleansing and beard trimming? Lisko touched the stubble that was a little shaggy due to staying up late and casually checked the box.

Hair design? Lisko thought about it for a while. He had to start over from scratch for a new look. There was nothing wrong with designing a hair style.

Next, look at the selection of barbers below. Photos are printed on them, so you can choose whatever you want.

"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 teacher Tony,

Lisko then looked at what "Voss, Lynn, Jayne"

"Just Teacher Tony."

First, he followed the assistant to wash his hair and massaged his head. Lisko almost fell asleep under the comfortable pressure. He was woken up by the assistant and sat on his seat waiting for the barber to arrive.

There are not many people in the barber shop now. When chatting with the assistant, I learned that the busiest place here is at night, because the barber shop here has billiards, darts, and cold beer, so many people come here after work. Take care of your beard, get a head massage, then play some games and drink some beer.

This place is more like a men's club than a barber shop.

Soon, a man with a well-groomed head and a well-groomed beard walked over.

"I'm Tony."

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

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

"I want to tie a ponytail."

Lisko touched his hair, which was a little too long, and expressed his thoughts.

"Okay, no problem." Tony held the scissors and turned it around on his thumb very coolly. He didn't find this request strange, because there are many men's ponytail hairstyles in the British style.

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

"嚓,嚓.嚓,"

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

Ten minutes later, Lisko felt that he had stopped and opened his eyes. His hairstyle had changed, but the shape was not visible yet.

"Go and wash it off? Do some nursing." The assistant came up and said

Lisko went for some care and took care of his beard. 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 shaving knife and shaved off the ends of the hair, the temples, and the places that scissors couldn't handle. He applied hair oil on his palms and rubbed it away while introducing it to Lisko.

"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 used this hair oil all the time."

Lisko has not done any research on this, so I think what he said is very powerful.

After taking care of his hair, Lisko looked in the mirror. His flaxen hair was tied up, and his slender body was wearing a Burberry blue windbreaker, close-fitting casual pants, and CHURCH'S leather shoes on his feet.

Feeling refreshed, he quickly paid the bill, picked up his luggage and left the barber shop.
