All right.
Let's start the video.
Are you ready?
Okay.
Let's begin.
Hello.
Welcome to the hair salon.
How are you today?
Hello.
I'm good.
Thank you.
I have an appointment today.
Oh, you have an appointment?
Okay.
What is your name, please?
My name is Mina.
Mina.
Let me check the schedule.
Yes, here it is.
Mina, 3 o'clock.
You're right on time.
Oh, good.
I was worried I might be late.
No, not at all.
So, Mina, you're here for a haircut today?
Yes, that's right.
I'd like a haircut, please.
Perfect.
My name is Sam.
I'll be your hair stylist today.
It's nice to meet you.
It's nice to meet you too, Sam.
Please come this way.
Your chair is right over here.
Okay.
Thank you.
Please sit down and make yourself comfortable.
This is a really nice chair.
I'm glad you think so.
Is this your first time at our hair salon?
Yes, it's my first time here.
A friend told me about this place.
She said the haircuts here are really good.
Oh, that's so nice of your friend.
Thank you for coming.
We'll take good care of you today.
Thank you.
I'm a little nervous, actually.
I don't usually go to a new hair salon.
Oh, I understand.
A lot of people feel that way at a new place.
But don't worry.
You're going to love your new haircut.
That's very kind of you.
Thank you, Sam.
Of course.
First, let me put this cape on you.
Okay.
There we go.
Is that alright?
Not too tight?
No, it's fine.
It feels comfortable.
Great.
Would you like something to drink before we start?
We have water and tea.
Oh, some water would be nice, please.
Of course.
Here you go.
Thank you very much.
You're welcome.
Okay, let's talk about your haircut today.
So, Mina, what would you like to do with your hair today?
I'd like to go a little shorter.
A little shorter?
How much shorter are you thinking?
Maybe about this much.
I don't want it too short.
Just a little shorter than now.
I see.
So just a trim, not a big change, right?
Yes, just a trim.
I like my hair long, but it's getting too long now.
I understand.
A trim is a good idea.
How about we cut about two inches?
Two inches.
Yes, I think that sounds good.
Great.
And what about your bangs?
They're getting pretty long, too.
Yes, my bangs are so long now.
They keep getting in my eyes.
That's no fun, right?
Would you like me to trim your bangs too?
Yes, please.
I like them a little shorter.
Okay.
I'll trim your bangs so they're just above your eyebrows.
How does that sound?
That sounds perfect.
I like them just above my eyebrows.
And for the rest, do you want the same style or do you want to try something new?
I think the same style is fine.
I like a simple, straight look.
A simple, straight look with a trim.
That's going to look really nice on you.
Thank you.
Do you think shorter hair will look good on me?
Oh, definitely.
A little shorter will look great.
It'll feel fresh and light.
That makes me feel better.
I wasn't sure about cutting my hair.
Don't worry.
We'll only cut a little, and you can always tell me if you want more or less.
Okay, great.
I trust you, Sam.
Thank you.
So just to make sure, about two inches off the length and shorter bangs, right?
Yes, that's right.
Wonderful.
Let's start with the shampoo first.
Sound good?
Yes, let's do that.
Okay, Mina.
Let's go to the shampoo area.
Please follow me.
Okay.
Please lean back in this chair.
I'll wash your hair now.
All right.
Let me adjust the chair for you.
Is this position okay?
Yes, it's very comfortable.
Thank you.
Good.
I'm going to start the water now.
Let me know if it's too hot or too cold.
Okay, I will.
How is the water?
Is it warm enough?
It's a little cold, actually.
Oh, I'm sorry.
Let me make it warmer.
How about now?
Yes, that's perfect.
It's nice and warm now.
Great.
I'll wet all of your hair first, and then I'll put the shampoo in.
Just relax and close your eyes.
Okay.
I'm putting the shampoo in now.
This shampoo smells like flowers.
Do you like it?
Yes, it smells really nice.
I love it.
I'm happy to hear that.
Just relax and enjoy while I wash your hair.
This feels so good.
It's really relaxing.
A lot of people say that.
The shampoo is the best part, right?
Yes, I think so.
I could fall asleep.
That happens sometimes.
Is the water pressure okay?
Not too strong?
No, it's just right.
Good.
I'm almost done now.
Let me rinse your hair.
Okay.
Let me make sure all the shampoo is out.
Is the water still good?
Yes, still nice and warm.
Thank you for checking.
Of course.
Alright, your hair is all clean now.
Let me wrap it in this towel.
Thank you.
My hair feels so soft already.
That's the shampoo.
It's really good for your hair.
It makes it soft and smooth.
I can tell.
That was the most relaxing hair wash I've ever had.
I feel so refreshed.
That makes me really happy.
Thank you.
All right, let's go back to the chair for your haircut.
Okay, I'm ready.
Let's go.
Okay, Mina, we're back in the chair.
Let me take the towel off and comb your hair first.
Okay.
Your hair feels really smooth after the shampoo.
All right, I'm going to start cutting now.
Are you ready?
Yes, I'm ready.
Great.
Remember, we said about two inches off, right?
Yes, about two inches.
Okay, I'll start with the back.
You can watch in the mirror if you like.
Okay, I'll watch.
I'm cutting just a little bit at a time.
It's always better to cut a little and then check.
How does it look so far?
It looks good, but maybe… can you take off a little more?
Sure.
How much more would you like?
Just a little more.
Maybe one more inch?
No problem.
Let me cut a little more.
How about this?
Yes, that looks nice.
That's a really good length.
I'm glad.
Now let me do the sides to make sure both sides are even.
Okay.
I'm going to turn your chair a little so I can see better.
Let me check the left side.
Good.
Now the right side.
Yes, both sides look even.
Oh, good.
I always worry about one side being longer than the other.
Oh, it's okay.
I'm checking very carefully.
Both sides are perfect.
Okay, now let's do your bangs.
Okay, please don't cut them too short.
I won't.
I'll cut them just a little bit, right above your eyebrows.
Please look straight at the mirror for me.
Okay.
I'm looking.
Good.
Please hold still.
I'm cutting your bangs now.
Okay.
All done.
Take a look.
What do you think?
Oh, that looks really nice.
I can see so much better now.
No more hair in your eyes.
The bangs look great on you.
Thank you, Sam.
I really like this length.
Wonderful.
The cut is almost finished.
Let me just check everything one more time.
All right.
The cut is all done.
Now I'm going to dry and style your hair.
I'll use the hair dryer.
Okay.
Sounds good.
I'll start on a low setting.
If it's too hot, please tell me right away.
Okay, I will.
How does that feel?
Is it too hot?
No, it's fine.
It feels nice and warm.
Good.
I'm going to dry your hair and style it at the same time.
I'll use this round brush to make your hair nice and smooth.
Okay.
I always have trouble styling my hair at home.
Really?
What do you usually do at home?
I just use the hair dryer, but it never looks this good.
Well, here's a little tip for you.
Try using a round brush at home.
Pull the hair down while you dry it.
That makes it smooth and straight.
Oh, I see.
That's a great tip.
I'll try that.
Yes, definitely try it.
It makes a big difference.
Okay, one side is done.
Let me do the other side now.
My hair already looks so much better.
I can't wait to see the finished look.
Thank you.
We're almost there.
Let me style your bangs now.
I'll use the brush to shape them nicely.
Okay.
And done.
Let me turn off the hair dryer.
Your hair is all dry and styled.
Please take a look in the mirror.
Oh, wow.
It looks so beautiful.
I love it.
I'm so happy to hear that.
The new length looks really good on you.
Thank you so much, Sam.
My hair looks so smooth and healthy.
You did an amazing job.
Thank you, Mina.
Would you like me to put a little hair oil in?
It'll keep your hair shiny all day.
Sure, I'd like that.
Yes, please.
Just a little bit.
There you go.
Your hair is going to look great all day.
Thank you.
I really love my new haircut.
It looks even better than I expected.
I'm so glad you love it.
Let me take this cape off for you.
There you go.
We're all done.
Thank you so much.
I feel like a new person.
That's the best thing to hear.
Alright, let's go to the front desk so you can pay.
Okay.
Your total for today is $35.
That's for the haircut and the shampoo.
Thirty-five dollars.
Okay.
Can I pay with a card?
Yes, of course.
We take credit cards and debit cards.
Or you can pay with cash.
Which would you like?
I'll pay with my credit card, please.
Here you go.
Thank you.
Let me process your card.
Just one moment, please.
Sure.
Okay.
Your payment is complete.
Would you like a receipt?
Yes, please.
Here's your receipt.
And here's your card back.
Thank you.
You're welcome.
So Mina, you may want to come back in about six to eight weeks for another trim.
Six to eight weeks okay, i'll remember that.
