A: Yes. That would be great. Do you see the uneven patches?
B: Yes. I do. They’re pretty bad in the back.
A: Just shave that part pretty close.
B: What about in the front?

Dialogue 5:
A: Are you reading that magazine?
B: No, I just finished. Here you go.
A: Have you ever noticed the kind of magazines the hairdresser has?
B: Yes.
They’re normally boring women’s fashion magazines.
A: I have never understood why.
B: I wish they would have some news magazines or something. These magazines make women look shallow.
A: Have you ever seen men’s barbershop magazines?
B: No. why?
A: It’s the same story. They’re either sports or hunting magazines. Typical male images.
B: That’s pretty funny.
A: Do you come here often?
B: Yes, I come here about once a month to get a trim and have my hair curled a little.
A: I’ve never been here before. A friend recommended this place to me.
B: This is a good hairdresser. What do you want done?
A: I’m going to get it cut a little in the back and get blond hi-lights in the front.
B: Really. That would look good on you. I’ve thought about doing that.
A: You should try something new.
B: it seems so unnatural to me
A: So what? It’s not as if you’re coloring your hair green or purple. It looks natural.
B: If you go first. I’ll see how it looks on you. Then I decide.
A: you’re such a coward.
A: I know. But I like to be cautious. It’s your turn now. I’ll watch you.
