Specializing in American and Korean Hair

Focus on the bottom of the sign. Maybe I’m in the minority, but someone needs to explain to me what American hair is.

I confess that I have no idea despite living in America (although only the North part of the Americas) for most of my life. I wonder if I have American hair. For some reason, I don’t think my hair is what Apen Enterprises Limited has in mind.

At some point, I’ll probably walk in and ask them to do something special with my American hair. Then just sit there uncomfortably until they tell me that my hair isn’t American. I’ll show them my passport, say I’m American, and request a definition of American hair. Awkward, I know. Kind of like when I was in law school and used to walk into the $25 per month all-you-can-tan place and just start asking questions about different options, the tanning booths, sprays, creams, etc. I did this several times. Each time, the person at the desk looked like they wanted to laugh since I‘m quite dark as it is, but couldn’t just in case I was seriously considering tanning. I’d keep a straight face the entire time while asking questions like, “Can I use accelerator in the tanning beds?” These are the types of things I enjoy doing.

It’s also kind of interesting that Apen specializes in Korean hair. I wasn’t aware that Korean hair was that unique. But then again, I’m the same guy who doesn’t know what American hair is. I wonder if Korean-Americans get especially good haircuts at Apen Enterprises Limited.

The crazy thing is that someone went to a design company and had this sign made. I imagine the conversation went something like this:

“Ok, you’ve listed treatment, curl-kit, plaits, weaving, perm, blowdry, and haircut. You’ve got a little more space on the sign. Do you specialize in any types of hair?”

“American and Korean hair.”

So random. There’s got to be a back story to this. It can’t really be that random of a selection.

I want to ask them so many questions. Do you specialize in giving haircuts to Americans and Koreans? Or do you specialize in giving American and Korean haircuts to anyone who wants them? Can I get a Korean haircut? Would it be a North or South Korean haircut? Is there a difference? Next time I need a haircut, I’ll go there and see what happens when I ask for a Korean haircut. If anything happens, I’ll be sure to take a picture of it and share it with you.
