In Korea beauty shops are very popular. Most people go there for perms and to color their hair. But in high school students can not have perms or colored hair, so my sister is getting her hair staightened. They put a concoction in her hair called "magic straightening palm" She was very excited and her hair was straighter (if that was possible) and shinier after the beauty shop. While we were there my mom also got a perm. But I was generally just bored because I didn't need a haircut yet.
