Thursday night Ika said to me that I looked tired and maybe it was because my hair was getting long. Do you think it needs cutting, she said. Another piece of Javanese superstition, but I did want a haircut. Friday afternoon a trip to New Planet (formerly Monkey Planet) was in order. New Planet is located across the street from Cafe Moka in Seminyak. I never make an appointment and today I was lucky as there was only 1 other customer. The first part of the haircut process is having my hair washed and head massaged. This is followed by the cutting, then another wash and a longer head / neck massage. The head is a very sensitive area and a good head massager can really gets things tingling.
Its no secret that the hairdressing world attracts a lot of gay guys and everytime I used to go to New Planet it was a guy who cut my hair. Now there is a lady who can cut hair which I prefer because she does not try to give the gay short look like the other guy. He was always trying to hook me up with his female relatives from Sulawesi and all I wanted was a haircut.
New Planet does a range of services including massage, body scrubs and eye lash tint.
Price for haircut is 50,000rp
New Planet is open from 10am-7pm daily
For an appointment call (0361)731880

Nice cut Nick…
Dede is not allowed to cut his hair whilst I am pregnant, I am guessing it is different between Balinese Hindu & Muslim? Or is there a similar belief that Yourself & Ika, decided not to worry about???
