Hoshi Coupe

As a part of my illustrated reportage project, I spent my Saturday afternoon sketching at Hoshi Coupe Berlin, a Japanese hair salon run by Mr Ohno. The salon was brimming with action, with the stylists hustling and customers constantly coming and going. Thanks for a fascinating drawing and interview session!

Stern to Funny

I haven't been drawing my hair differently, but I actually got a perm (at my mom's urging...and by urging I mean she almost literally dragged me to the hair dresser's) while I was in Japan. This is what G's dad had to say about it.

Also: Although they're commonly used adjectives, I think the German nuance of streng and lustig is actually quite difficult to translate correctly. Anyone have a better translation?

Brown

I get the same feeling when Japanese people tell me that I'm tall. I guess everything is relative . . .

Appointment

Our (last!) bi-monthly appointment with our personal hair stylist aka mama. Also, I forgot to mention that my mom made her Caffeinated Toothpaste debut last week! (I was in it too!) AWESOME!

Handsome Boy

Mama gave G a haircut on Monday. It was fun.
