My hair wanted cutting badly
so I went to the salon where I went last time. I think it's quite expensive at 19,50 €, but you don't need an appointment and it's quite nice. They shampoo your hair before they cut it!
(Sorry - I am used to going to the barbers rather than to hair salons.)
Anyway, here's a bit of vocabulary that will help you if you want a haircut like mine. I hope I've spelt it all ok !
Beaucoup plus courts et dégradés ici - grab the long hair at the nape of your neck as you say this if, of course, you like your hair degraded ..
Je coiffe en avant - avec un frange.
Gel? Cire? Non. J'aime bien que les cheveux bougent un peu.
Oui - faites le tour des oreilles. (I especially like this phrase - it conjures up images of people listening to a commentary about the inside of your lughole)
I wonder what the French is for a footballer's perm. I have this urge to go in and say "je veux de jolies boucles" - or simply "faites-moi beau". They'd probably laugh. A lot.

By the way, maybe I ought to explain that Dickie Mint's head was once thatched but now is not. The cut has given way to the polish.
Let's here it for all those who reflect in more ways than one!
btw, Tony Campolo (great theologian that he is) once opined that they don't put a marble finish on cheap furniture. 'Nuff said.
But I can spell too.
Sometimes.
