The Boys' Haircut

Daddy's Haircut -- $12 ($10 + 2 tip) @ a shop inside T&T Supermarket in Surrey Central City

October 8, 2017 

Ford is so happy because there's $10 haircut here in Metro Vancouver (no tax pa ha, baka included na). Sa Edmonton, sobrang mahal ang services eh. Twice a year lang siya kung magpagupit doon. Dito every three months pwede.

By the way, there's a Filipina hair cutter in this shop. Akala ko nga noong una pang-lalaki lang dito eh, yun pala pwede rin ang babae. Susubukan ko next time tutal hindi naman ako maarte sa gupit. Matabasan lang ay ok na.

Nathan's Haircut -- $28.75 ($25 + 12% tax + 2.50 tip) @ Sparky's Kut for Kidz

October 13, 2017

We've tried to convince Nathan to get his haircut on a regular barber shop / salon na lang para cheaper but he's not ready yet. "No" daw. Kahit i-bribe namin siya na ibibili namin ng toy yung matitipid namin. Kaya no choice kami kundi bumalik sa Sparky's (where he had his last buzz cut last June 25) kasi aliw siya sa mga "cars" doon. And true enough, when he saw the cars, sobrang na-excite agad umupo at magpa-"massage" ng hair.

Pero naman ha, masakit sa loob gumastos ng $28.75 for a 5-minute (or less pa nga yata) buzz cut. So I swear, this will be the last time that we'll be spending that much on his haircut. Kailangan ma-train ko siya sa Pinas pag-uwi namin na magpagupit sa cheap na barber shop. If he resists, Ako na mismo ang magre-razor sa kanya. It is one skill that I ought to learn because my son's hair grows so very fast, mamumulubi talaga kami sa kakapagupit. Uso yun dito eh, kanya-kanyang gupit sa anak / asawa.
