I never had any trouble about my hair in other shops anywhere else.
heck I took that hair style to work. To NOVA. Where I taught old housewives and salarymen.

She would also never understand her when I asked for cigarettes in Japanese. Always a dumb blank look. Yet I was a master at buying smokes. Every other shop assistant evrywhere else knew what I asked straight up. Just her. Even in that shop the other assitants knew exactly the first time I asked.
