The Best price for Haircut

In Japan, There's custom that when a woman had lost her love, she had her hair cut and try to refresh her mind. However, when she looked at herself in shorter hair in the mirror, she definitely felt sad than ever.
Even though you broke your heart or not, Eventually you need to had your hair cut as long as you staying in Japan more longer.

Usually, the price of hair cut is around of 4,000yen in Japan. However, we have a lot of Beauty salon or barbershop which provided cheaper price.
Let me introduce some of those shops. I'm honored if could help you.

QB HOUSE, in which offer you 1,080yen for hair cut. As far as I know, QB HOUSE providing the best price. You can find that near the train station or shopping malls.

It's hard to say the foreigner those who struggle speaks Japanese to explain about your hair style what do you want to be. Why don't you show beautician a famous actor's photo that you want to be. Nevertheless, It's impossible the person those who are bald like a Homer Simpson want to be Johnny Depp's hair style.

Most of the people who comes to QB HOUSE are the male customers. We hardly

see women at there. but, you don't have to worry about that. There are many

beauty salon which offer less than 2,000yen. However, I don't think that low priced services are low quality.

Japanese men hasn't got used to see foreign women. I mean, All the foreign women looks beautiful to Japanese men. You are beautiful enough, you don't have to care what hair style you had. It really doesn't matter if you had a hair cut at cheaper beauty salon.

Starbucks, it has not only revolutionary selection of drinks but also very tasty its taste. Especially I like Chai Soy Latte the best.
There are large number of stores all over the world that you can find the stores easily. The sofa are very comfortable that make you feel relax at there. When you are walking while holding a fraps' cup which Starbucks' logo on it, you feel like a Hollywood celebrities for a while.

However I think they are bit expensive for its prices. Some of the High school girls are chatting loudly in the store that make me uncomfortable because I just want to take relax over sipping coffee and don't want to hear the other people's live.

In Japan, There are many coffee shops which offer you more reasonable prices than Starbucks. Let me introduce some of them. If you don't picky about its taste, Why don't you visit there once in a while.

DOUTOR has as many shops as Starbucks but its prices are much cheaper than Starbucks. Smoking section is separated by clear glass wall and particular air conditioner that protect from Non smoker from smell of cigarette. Many of the people those who come to DOUTOR are busy businessmen, so they sip coffee and leave there soon, there are many tables such a narrow floor that make you uncomfortable.
