Chapter 2, 'STYLING HAIR' makes me think about the question that I have never thought about before. As a hair cutter, the cutting skill is not the only thing to be required, the skills of communicating is as important as the cutting skills. The consumers always have their own opinions of the hair styles, which might not fit them at all. So the communication between the hair cutter and the consumer is significant at this time.
The difference between the waitress and the  hair cutter is obviously shown in Chapter 1 and 2. Waitress are work to satisfy the consumers so that they can earn more tips. However, for the hair cutters, they are not only to make money, they have to be response to the consumers' beauty.
