I’ve begun patronizing a new barbershop. With all the
construction going on at Ala Moana Center, it’s become exceedingly humbug to
continue getting haircuts at Thom’s.

I went to Manoa Barber Shop yesterday for the first time
in a couple of decades; it’s been at least 25 years since I've been there. The
owner is Ayako Morikuni; her shop is near Manoa Marketplace, where the Safeway
and Long’s Drug Store (where the wife and I often shop) are located.
My hair is easy to cut – I just asked for a #1, the
barber whipped out her clipper, snapped on the #1 thingie and buzzed away. I’ve
started doing this several years ago when it became apparent that I
wasn’t growing a large-enough crop on the top of my head to make “just a trim”
worthwhile.
I like this lady barber. She talks about things that
interest me, she uses a hot towel to wipe my shorn head afterwards, she gives
my shoulders a hand-vibrator massage, and she’s also not too expensive (not that it makes
any matter).
Plus, it’s right up the street from where I live. Now,
why didn’t I start doing this earlier? Silly creature of habit.
