That was a good read, always good to hear a genuine life story.

I hope you don't charge $70/cut any more because if I ever have a business trip around your area I will seriously consider getting a Bisu haircut (from you of course).

That was amazing story. It's so cool to read about the lives and experiences of other TLers. I think I would understand everything so much more if there was a Starcraft progaming analogy. Now I know that London is the place to be for stylists.

Thanks for sharing dude! Fantastic story.
Even during difficult times, when I sat down to play the game, there were times where it felt like god has descended down and played [for me].

I loved your blog! I enjoyed reading every bit of it, and I am really glad that you are making a name (or at least a decent living, it seems) from doing what you love! xD

I do have one question that I've never been able to quite figure out, and I think you may have the expertise/knowledge to finally answer it. I'm a Korean guy, and I have the typical Asian complexion with the big head, small eyes, square jaw and lack of nose bridge (picture in my profile). I opt for the typical long-ish Korean haircuts because over the years, I have tried many different haircuts such as the fauxhawk, mohawk, short mohican, perm'd hair, and even the white-man part, but they all looked pretty silly in picture. Now I see these white people rocking short-ish hair like it's nobody's business but somehow when Korean guys, barring celebrities with abnormally small heads, get the same haircut, it looks really bad. I have two conjectures as to why: one is different facial structure and overall head shape, and the other is the texture of Asian hair (it feels thicker, straighter and more straw-like than my white friends'). You also mentioned in one of your replies that Korean haircuts look bad on white people (a la Justin Bieber), so my question to end this long drawn out prelude would be: what is it like cutting Asian hair, as in how does the experience differ from cutting a white person's hair, and what would you say accounts for this difference in how a white person looks versus an Asian with the same exact hairdo (or similar enough)?

I'm sorry if I offended anybody with my gratuitous use of the non-PC "white person" in my post btw

Cool music, vids and writing. Makes me want to cut hot chicks hair.

Glad to see a high school dropout is making it far in this world, sounds like fun too!

I lol'd.

I wonder if TL could cure my doomsday thoughts that have surfaced thanks to the debt crisis, overpopulation and scarcity of natural resources.

Wow I just woke up this morning to see this got spotlighted!! Thank you guys!
I'll answer some of the questions in here when I get home from work tonight as I'm already running a little late.
I may even have to write a whole separate blog on "How to get the haircut you want!"
