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!

It's Time

Trying a different style out. While this is slightly truer-to-life depiction of me, I actually do have a nose in real life.

Perm

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?

Handsome Boy

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

Buddha Buns

I thought I escaped them when I left Tokyo, but no. Buddha buns are now everywhere in Berlin!
