She spoke no English. I just pointed at a picture in the store and off she went. My long hair was buzzed down quite short, especially the back and the sides were almost shaved high up. She was very efficient using the clippers and comb all over, and very fast. But it came out pretty good. i was afraid I would end up with a complete buzz cut, but it really is just a tapered fade. They call that 'sports cut' here. Nice camera work by my wife.
