  I just got back from having a haircut.
  
  Are the words 'Do NOT cut my fringe' too complicated for the barber to understand?!?!?!

  Depends. Was the barber conversant with the English language?
  
  In any event, I hope you withheld the gratuity as a sign of your displeasure.

  Malay barber.... I spoke Malay with him.
  
  I just paid up and left.... like it or not, he still performed a service.

  hmm.. thought he performed a disservice
  
  anyway, i can't be bothered about barbers.. i just go there, sit down, they cut.. and that's about that...
  
  can't make me any uglier than i already am

  Oh, I was referring to the tip (gratuity), not the price of the service. You'd have to pay for the indicated cost of the service, but could always vary the amount of the gratuity depending on your perception of the quality of the service received.
  
  Haircuts here in the US typically cost anywhere between US$7 and US$12, depending on whether or not a coupon is used; I normally add a gratuity of US$2 to that amount, but have on occasion withheld it if I felt the barber didn't cut my hair the way I requested her to.
  
  I used to have my hair cut by an Indian barber down the road from my house in Singapore, and would customarily throw in an additional S$2 tip to the price of the service as I felt he did an excellent job. My dad and I had been going to him for haircuts for over 10 years before he retired and went back to India.

  Interesting. I'm not familiar with that drama--does the story take place back when Paya Lebar was still a civilian airport, or did the film crew just not get permission to shoot at Changi Airport and had to use Paya Lebar as a location stand-in?
