What English do you need for daily life abroad?

Welcome! Do you have an appointment, or are you a walk-in?

欢迎！您有预约吗，还是直接来的？

💡 在美国理发店，walk-in（无预约上门）很常见，但可能要等位。

About 15 minutes. Have a seat — we'll call you when a stylist is available. Would you like anything to drink while you wait?

大约15分钟。请坐——理发师有空了我们会叫您。等的时候要喝点什么吗？

Hi, I'm Mike. Come on over. So, what are we doing today?

嗨，我是Mike。过来坐吧。今天想怎么剪？

Got it. How short on the sides — a low fade, mid fade, or high fade? And do you want me to use a number 2 guard or go shorter?

明白。两边多短——低渐变、中渐变还是高渐变？用2号卡尺还是更短？

Oh yeah, that's a nice style. I can definitely do that. Want me to clean up the neckline and do the eyebrows too?

哦不错，这个发型挺好看。我完全可以做。要不要修一下后颈线和眉毛？

Alright, all done! Take a look in the mirror. How does that look?

好了，剪完了！照照镜子看看。觉得怎么样？

That'll be $35. You can pay at the front. Cash or card is fine.

35美元。在前台付就行。现金或刷卡都可以。

💡 在美国理发后给小费是标准做法，一般给15%-20%，好的服务可以给更多。

There we go — all finished! What do you think?

好了——全部剪完了！您觉得怎么样？

Oh, I see what you mean. Unfortunately I can't add hair back, but I can adjust the top to blend better with the sides so it looks more balanced. Would you like me to do that?

哦，我明白你的意思。很遗憾剪短的没法长回来，但我可以调整一下上面的头发，让它和两边更自然地过渡，看起来更协调。要不要我调一下？

Absolutely. I'll just take a tiny bit off the top to even things out and leave the fringe longer for side styling. Give me a couple minutes.

没问题。我把上面稍微修一点让它均匀一些，刘海留长一点方便你侧梳。给我几分钟。

Okay, how about now? I blended the transition and left more length in the front. Better?

好了，现在怎么样？我把过渡弄自然了，前面也留长了。好一些了吗？

Good catch — let me even those out real quick. ...There, now they're symmetrical. Anything else?

看得真仔细——让我赶紧修齐。……好了，现在对称了。还有别的吗？

Of course! I want you to leave happy. The price is the same — $35. And if you want, I can book your next appointment so we get the length exactly how you like it.

当然！我希望你满意地离开。价格不变——35美元。如果你愿意，我可以帮你预约下次，这样我们就知道你要的长度了。

💡 即使修改了，一般不需要额外付费。但因为理发师额外花了时间，适当多给一些小费是得体的。
