- Lucas: Welcome back to Learn Japanese with Fexingo. I am Lucas. Luna: And I am Luna. It is good to be back with you today. Lucas: We are continuing our series on daily life scenarios. Last time we were at the hair salon. Today we stay there but focus on the details of the cut and the products. Luna: Right. So after the initial haircut, what do you say if you want it shorter? Lucas: Good question. You can say 'Kami wo mijikaku shite kudasai'. That means please make my hair short. Luna: Kami wo mijikaku shite kudasai. Okay. Let me try that. Lucas: Perfect. Kami wo mijikaku shite kudasai. Very clear. Luna: I like that one. It feels direct but polite. Lucas: It is. Sometimes you want the ends trimmed lightly too. We will get to that next. Luna: What about asking for product recommendations? Like shampoo. Lucas: You can ask 'Kono shanpuu, osusume wa arimasu ka'. This means are there any recommendations for this shampoo? Luna: Kono shanpuu, osusume wa arimasu ka. I have dry hair so I always ask that. Lucas: Yes. Kono shanpuu, osusume wa arimasu ka. It is a very useful phrase. Luna: I feel like I use English more when I travel. Asking for help is hard. Lucas: It can be. But these phrases are standard. The staff expects them. Luna: Okay. Let us keep going. What about trimming the ends? Lucas: You say 'Mesaki wo karuku kutte'. This means trim the tips lightly. Luna: Mesaki wo karuku kutte. Wait, I need to add the request part. Lucas: Right. Mesaki wo karuku katte kudasai. Luna: Mesaki wo karuku katte kudasai. Got it. Lucas: Very good. Now let us talk about the blow dry. Many people struggle with that. Luna: Oh yes. My hair gets frizzy if I do not do it right. Lucas: You can ask 'Doraiyaa no tsukaikata, oshiete moraemasu ka'. This means can you teach me how to use the dryer? Luna: Doraiyaa no tsukaikata, oshiete moraemasu ka. That is long but helpful. Lucas: It is. Doraiyaa no tsukaikata, oshiete moraemasu ka. Try it once more. Luna: Doraiyaa no tsukaikata, oshiete moraemasu ka. There it is. Lucas: Excellent. Finally, you might want to say you take care of your hair daily. Luna: How do you say that? Lucas: Mai nichii kaishuu shite imasu. This means I am doing care every day. Luna: Mai nichii kaishuu shite imasu. I wish I did that every day. Lucas: We all wish that. Mai nichii kaishuu shite imasu. Say it again. Luna: Mai nichii kaishuu shite imasu. Nailed it. Lucas: Let us review the first phrase again. Kami wo mijikaku shite kudasai. Luna: Kami wo mijikaku shite kudasai. Please make my hair short. Lucas: Now the shampoo one. Kono shanpuu, osusume wa arimasu ka. Luna: Kono shanpuu, osusume wa arimasu ka. Are there any recommendations for this shampoo? Lucas: And the ends. Mesaki wo karuku katte kudasai. Luna: Mesaki wo karuku katte kudasai. Trim the tips lightly. Lucas: The dryer. Doraiyaa no tsukaikata, oshiete moraemasu ka. Luna: Doraiyaa no tsukaikata, oshiete moraemasu ka. Can you teach me how to use the dryer? Lucas: And the routine. Mai nichii kaishuu shite imasu.
