My thinking about a salon in Japan

Though I went to a salon a few days ago, I don't want to go as much as possible.
I don't like to talk with someone unknown with careful, and want him/her to touch me, neither.

After going inside and talking with a staff what hairstyle I would want to do, I was taken to a shampoo seat.. The depressed time was coming soon.


"I'll recline the seat."
"I'll put a towel on your face."
"How is the temperature of water?"
"How about the strength to wash?"
"Excuse me, I'll bend your head a little."
"Next, the opposite side."
"Is there anywhere itchy?"
"Thank you for your work."


Even though they only wash the hair, they said something like that.
I think Japanese salons are too polite to treat customers.

The most I don't like is that I can't stop trying not to drop off the towel, feeling sorry for a staff to bring some magazines for a few times even though I don't read and thinking I should talk back with him/her whenever I'm done because I know they want me to feel fun all time.
And when a hairdresser holds my head while washing my back, I can't stop thinking it seems to be so heavy that I should support it by myself, neither. 
I can't tell "You don't have to pay much attention to me more. Please let me keep alone." Haha...


I could chat with my friends for a while, but couldn't read the book I brought this time, too.


Are salons oversea also as polite as Japanese ones?
But I know, I know, these politeness is one of good points in Japanese though...


                                                             

先日、美容院に行ったのですが、やっぱ美容院って出来れば行きたくない。
人に気を使ってお話しするのも、知らない人に髪を触られるのも、全て苦手・・・。

入店してから、美容師さんとやりたい髪型の相談をした後、シャンプー台に連れて行かれ、
これから嫌な時間が来る来ると思うと、憂鬱・・・。

「背もたれを倒しますね。」
「タオルをかけますね」
「お湯加減いかがですか？」
「力加減はいかがですか？」
「失礼します。お顔を動かしますね。」
「反対側に動かしますね。」
「かゆい所はないですか。」
「お疲れ様でした。」


洗って貰うのは気持ちが良いんだけど、洗って貰うだけなのに、いっぱい話しかけられ、
しかも顔の上に置かれてるタオルがズレるんじゃないかと心配したり、
後ろ髪を洗う時に、美容師さんが片手で私の頭を支えるのは重いやろうなと、自分で頭を支えたり…
しかも、やって貰っている間、一人放っておいて欲しいのに、全く読まなかったからか、雑誌を何回か取り替えてくれて、ずっと話しかけてくれて、結局、使わなくても良いのに、いっぱい気を使ってしまったし、持って行った本も全く手をつけませんでした。

毎回思うんだけど、「構わないで下さい」って言えたら、良いのになって。
でも退屈させないでおこうとしてる美容師さんの気持ちが分かるので、いつも言えずにいる私・・・。
