Getting a haircut

Describing what you want and getting through it comfortably.

1
Checking in

Give your name and appointment time, or ask if walk-ins are okay. They’ll have you wait or take you back.

2
Describing what you want

Be specific — a photo on your phone helps a lot. Mention length and anything to avoid.

💬 “About this short on the sides, some length on top — like this photo.”
3
During

Small talk is optional. Speak up if anything’s uncomfortable (water too hot, etc.).

💬 “I’m happy to just relax,” is a polite way to keep it quiet.
4
At the end

They’ll show you the back with a mirror. Want a tweak? Say so now, kindly. Then pay at the desk; tipping is common but your call.

That’s the free preview. The full story — all 4 steps, each with a picture — is part of full access in the app, along with every other story. These ones are free start to finish: Ordering at a coffee shop, A routine doctor’s visit, A job interview.
