   Anyhow, I've found tipping to be the rule both in modern-day unisex joints with names like "Hair Peace Simplex", as well as in old-style, Italian-American barbershops back in Bridgeport, Connecticut, in the 1970s. I've never seen any haircuttery of any type where you WEREN'T expected to tip, except maybe for the dreaded Orderly With A Razor who visits your hospital room right before your hernia surgery.

   That said, English words are ubiquitous in the place, and while the occasional inadertantly^([sic]) off-color reference is bound to happen, it's the misspellings and the absurdities that seem to make the most memorable Japlish. A haircuttery that flew a tricolor flag and called itself "Flance" was a personal favorite, as was the coffee shop that, in homage to Mr. Ellington, was named "Satan Doll."

   Since my son was 2 he has always been afraid of haircuts. He cries and stiffens-up^([sic]) like we are hurting him. We tried haircuttery places but that doesn't work. So my husband and I clip his hair into a crew cut so we don't have to worry about cutting it for a while.

   Jeez, just go to the beauty parlor if you want to read the sleazy tabloids, for heaven's sake! NOT the trendy haircuttery place at the local Promenade, the place where the over forty soccer moms go to get their poodle-dos! They have them all. I'm not responsible for what you look like when you leave, however...
