Welcome to Kevin's English Room Podcast!
Hello.
Hey guys.
Hello.
How have you been doing, man?
Yeah.
You were about to say something, were you?
Yeah.
What was it?
Um, I forget.
Yeah, I was about to say about those.
Where to go.
Where to get your hair cut.
Yeah, yeah, yeah. Let's talk about that.
Yeah.
Me trying to, me considering to go to a professional beauty salon.
Right, right.
And yeah, what about it?
Yeah, I mean, you have to be very careful about which place to go.
Right, right, right, right, right.
There are so many places.
I heard that's more than convenience store now.
Really?
Yeah.
Shit.
Yeah, there's so many.
Oh my god.
Yeah.
But you have to, um, I guess you have to go like very, like a reserved, like very, I guess like separated place.
Closed place.
Right, right, right.
Because right before the episode, you were talking to me about, you know, the possibilities of if you go to a really big salon and where there's like rows of seats.
Right.
And then there's like the, um.
Full, full seats.
Right.
Two rows facing each other seats.
Yeah.
And you could, you know, end up being recognized by some of the people.
Right.
People seated diagonally to you.
Yeah.
Right.
And that might be, you know, nowhere to go, nowhere to escape kind of situation.
Right.
Might lead to a uncomfortable position.
Yeah.
Right.
True.
I have to be careful about that.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
And I don't know if there's any way of, you know, making sure that the seatings are aligned in a way that.
Right.
Would be comfortable for me.
Right.
Uh, I guess just actually go to the store, right?
Beforehand.
Yeah.
And check the, the seatings and everything.
It's difficult.
Right.
Which is very menduksai.
Yeah.
Right.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Yeah.
Even the smaller places, like for example, like, you know, they have like the seats for haircut.
Mm-hmm.
And also like seats for like washing your hair.
Right.
Or seats for like dyeing your hair.
Yes.
It's like placed in like differently.
Uh-huh.
And then you have a seats for haircut.
Yes.
And you have mirror.
Yes.
And then you can easily see the, the different side.
Uh-huh.
Which, you know, could be crowded.
Right.
It's true.
And so, yeah.
I'm not planning to go, but I wonder if there's such a thing called like a private salon where like it's just completely closed and everything.
Yeah, I guess they have it.
Do you think they have it?
Yeah.
Wow.
I mean, I've never tried, but I'm sure they have like, because everybody cut their hair.
Mm-hmm.
Right.
Including like very famous guys.
Right.
Kishida Sori, right?
Yeah, of course.
I don't know why I'm in love with Kishida Sori.
But yeah, Kishida Sori has to cut his hair too, right?
Of course.
Maybe like that.
You think he goes to a salon?
I mean, that level, they bring the, you know, the professionals to his house and then.
03:06
True.
Yeah.
You don't think that he goes to like.
Like Omotesando.
Omotesando.
You don't think that happens?
I'm not sure.
You don't think he goes to like.
Yeah.
Like those three-minute cuts and everything.
Was it a three-minute cut?
No.
Ten minutes.
Ten-minute cut and everything?
Yeah, yeah.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
It's like one of those, one of those like imperial cuts, you know what I mean?
Yep.
Right.
Yeah.
That's a good way.
Like people won't be like noticing him.
True.
You feel very like, very usual like.
Right.
Suits and like.
I mean, if you wear suits, I think he'll be a little bit more noticeable.
Right.
But if he wears like one of those like jerseys or something like.
If he wears one of those like slacks and everything.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Right?
Right?
Worn out.
Right.
Fucking gray sweatpants.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
And a hoodie.
Hoodie, yeah.
Right.
Well, that's a good way.
Yeah, that's a good way.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
That's true.
The place I go is very big.
They have like almost eight seats.
And just like, like this in the mirror.
Right, right, right.
So, yeah.
I haven't been like cold.
Cold.
But like, I always feel that like.
Potentially like.
Right.
Yeah, it might be difficult for some people.
Yeah.
I mean, even if you're not worried about your face being recognized.
There's always like.
People are always looking around, right?
People are always like checking up on each other.
Of like.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
There's a guy right there cutting his hair.
Oh, okay.
All right, that's good.
Right?
They're giving each other like the look of like.
Oh, you there?
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Right.
Yeah.
That's sometimes not comfortable.
Right.
You can easily hear what they are talking about.
That's so true.
In the next, like the place just the next.
That is so true.
Yeah.
Yeah.
And some people like talking about very nonsense.
Yeah.
Topics.
The worst conversation you ever heard of.
Yeah.
What's the worst one?
What's the worst one you've ever had?
I don't remember.
I don't remember.
There are guys that are talking about his like his cars.
I got, you know, I got this car.
It cost like.
Oh, my God.
A hundred million.
That's a.
Oh, shit.
And then that's the color is red.
Oh, my God.
So he's like bragging about his.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
His expensive car and shit.
This and.
That's terrible.
Yeah.
That is so terrible.
06:01
Yo-san is a professional and he has to listen.
I mean, she has to listen to him.
So like.
So it's a she.
Yeah.
Okay.
I was like.
Tough stuff.
Yeah.
So it's difficult.
Yeah.
That's so true.
That's fun.
Yeah.
And another thing is you cut your hair and once it's done, you go to a different place
to be washed.
And then the beauty salon will always say like.
And then everybody says.
That moment I don't.
I always don't get it.
Like.
Yeah.
Like I'm not tired at all.
And then like.
I mean.
The times that I've been going to those professional.
Yeah.
I never had any of that.
You never had that?
Oh, really?
I never had anyone call out to me.
When I'm done with the haircut.
Oh, that's good.
Yeah.
Yeah.
So maybe it's just your place.
Yeah.
I mean, I went to several places.
They all did that?
They all did that.
Like.
Jesus.
Yeah.
Wow.
I mean, I'm not tired.
But yeah.
Do you do you respond to them?
Yeah.

We can ignore that.
You're someone who would say hi back when.
Yeah.
When at a convenience store.
When the employee says.

Right.
Right.
Right.
So everyone say like.
And then they go.
Well, I have to reply then.
Yeah.
It's like.
Yeah.
But.
Yeah.

But I get it.
It's an open community.
Yeah.
Right.
It's very open.
And then they kind of talk.
About you.
Like they're going to question.
Right.
Ask you some.
Yeah.
What's your profession?
I don't know what I should.
I don't know how I should do this.
