JOSEPH: I need a haircut.

SARAH: Do you have an appointment?

JOSEPH: No, I don't. You look pretty busy today. Do you have an opening for me?

SARAH: Yes, we do. I can cut your hair right now if you like.

Do you need a shampoo too, or just a haircut?

JOSEPH: Just a haircut. I washed my hair this morning.

SARAH: Alright. I will have an assistant wet your hair. Then I can cut it.

Please step over there.

How would you like your hair cut today?

JOSEPH: Well, I last had a haircut eight weeks ago. So my hair is pretty long.

But I want the same style.

SARAH: I recommend you leave it a little long on top.

But we should take in the back and sides a bit more. That's more fashionable now.

JOSEPH: Alright. You are the expert. I'm happy to have your recommendation.

SARAH: So I will cut the sides just above the ear. Is that good?

JOSEPH: Fine.

SARAH: And do you usually part your hair along here?

JOSPEH: Yes.

SARAH: Alright, I know just what to do.

Your hair seems quite dry, you know. And I see some split ends.

JOSEPH: Yes, I know my hair is quite thin.

It runs in my family. Everybody has very thin hair.

SARAH: The problem is the split ends. They make your hair look even more frizzy.

JOSEPH: I don't know what to do about it.

SARAH: Well, there are two things you can do.

First, don't blow-dry your hair for so long after you shower. Let it dry naturally.

That is easier on the hair, so you won't get split ends.

Second, buy a good conditioner and use it regularly.

JOSEPH: Do you sell conditioner here?

SARAH: Of course. I have one I can suggest.

JOSEPH: Great. I would be happy to try it.

I know my hair doesn't look good now. It's too weak.

SARAH: The problem is the split ends.
