F2F Class Notes (Mike)

To Ally：
As I resigned my job last week, I booked a hairdresser for a new look. The hairdresser convinced me to keep my curly hair. He cut my dead hair and the part of knots then made a more premium and young look.
But I am suspicious about the color of my new look which the Tony say is similar with my picture. Maybe every woman is gullible in a hair salon.

To Mike：
I resigned from my job last week. To award myself and also to have some change in my life, I booked a hairdresser for a new look.
The hairdresser convinced me to keep my hair curly. He cut my dead hair and the part with knots and then made a more premium/elegant/vibrant/fashionable/trendy and young look.
I showed the Tony a picture of a model that I found on XHS and told him that I wanted my hair to be that color. After it was done, I was suspicious of the color, but he said it’s similar with the pic.
Perhaps every woman becomes gullible in a hair salon.
