A 여기가 네가 다니는 미용실이야? 좀 비싸지?

Yeogiga nega danineun miyongsiriya? Jom bissaji?

So this is the salon you go to? It's a bit pricey, isn't it?

Saenggakboda an bissayo. Oneureun jega naelgeyo.

It's not as expensive as you'd think. And today it's on me.

But they're all young here. The one cutting my hair is young too, I suppose?
B 네, 그래도 정말 잘 잘라요. 제 머리도 그분이 잘라요.

Ne, geuraedo jeongmal jal jallayo. Je meorido geubuni jallayo.

Yes, but she's really good. She cuts my hair too.
A 네 머리? 그 노란 머리?

Ne meori? Geu noran meori?

Your hair? That yellow hair of yours?
B 하하, 염색은 안 해요. 머리만 잘라요.

Haha, yeomsaegeun an haeyo. Meoriman jallayo.

Ha ha, no dye, don't worry. Just a cut.
A 그래? 그럼 한번 해 볼까? 할머니가 놀라겠지?
