At the hairdresser's

Do you go to the hairdresser often? What do you normally get done?

I don't go to the hairdresser often, just once every two months or so, so I have the length of my hair controlled. I used to hate to go to the hairdresser, but nowdays I've learnt to appreciate the treatment they apply to their customers, I mean, I really enjoy when they wash my hair before they cut it, I find it very relaxing. And I enjoy a little conversation about nothing in particular, just chit-chat, every one in a while. And I always prefer a woman hairdesser than a male, that's for sure! :D

I don't go to the hairdresser often, just once every two months or so, so I have the length of my hair controlled. (This is perfectly correct but you could also say here "I have the length of my hair under control." (Although I'm sure you're aware of that too.))

Great job Juanata, you've clearly mastered the lingo ;-) have you spent much time in an English-speaking country?

I'm glad to hear that. In fact, I think it's fantastic that you think that way, because I've never been in a English-speaking country. Nevertheless, the truth is that I've calculated that I've seen around seven or eight thousand hours of films and tv series (obviously british and american ones). As you may know, in Spain they broadcast the films and series in spanish, so I download every film or tv serie that I would like to watch. That way I enjoy watching films (I'm a great fan of movies) and, at the same time, I'm learning English. It's so interesting to realize how you can learn expresions and vocabulary as well as you are improving your listening abilities without nearly noticing it. And I watch a lot of different kind of series or movies, Torchwood, Little Britain, Life from Mars, Cheers, Seinfeld, Friends, The IT Crow, Dexter, 30 Rock, The Big Bang Theory, Entourage, House M.D., etc... so I can hear actual English and a lot of different accents. I don't always understand all I'm listening, but I can finally get to learn new words and expresions due to the context and constant repetitions. As Kramer would say: Ohh, you better believe it! :D

 And last but not least: thank you very much for your remarks.

 I agree with Elwyn, this was very well written. I also agree with his corrections.
