When today’s face and my path overlap in a single scene

This is a story for anyone who sits in a salon chair choosing a hairstyle, then judges today’s choices by the one face in the mirror.

Scenes

  • Choosing a hairstyle, I start doubting my choices too — After changing the length and bangs again and again in the salon chair, it can feel as though today’s face is speaking for your path, too.
  • If I look okay, does that mean today will be okay too? — Behind saying that you don’t like your hair, there may be a quiet moment of first wondering whether you can meet people looking this way.
  • I looked in the mirror three times before picking up the scissors — At four in the afternoon, the stylist asked how much to cut. Even after staring at your reflection for a long while, you couldn’t bring yourself to ask for it shorter.
  • Today’s scene is not a verdict on my whole life — In Myeongri, we distinguish the appearance that caught your eye today from the saju temperament you’ve carried for a long time. One small scene cannot stand in for the whole flow.
  • After looking in the mirror, write down just one choice separately — Write down one small choice you had already decided on, regardless of today’s hairstyle. It’s okay if the two don’t feel separate at first.
  • Today’s face is not the whole path — Even on days when your reflection stays with you, it is only one scene you met today. You can look at where that scene overlapped with your temperament and consider your next step.
