Karen Hair Salon

If you ask my husband for a recommendation on where to get a haircut in San Francisco, he'll tell you Karen Hair Salon in Chinatown. Why? It costs $5 (and then he gives a 100% tip to make it $10), and he doesn't have to make small talk because the stylist speaks very little English (his favorite part).

I took the pictures below when he went last week. During that visit, instead of the usual Chinese radio station, he reported the stylist turned on some sort of "So You'd Like to Become a U.S. Citizen"-type CD. It would say things in English like, "What is the Constitution?" (a bunch of stuff in Chinese); "Who is the President of the United States?" (Chinese again). Hee hee!
