Illegal ？

Question

I went to a hair salon the other day.
I tried to ask for the same female stylist as last time because I liked the style, but she said she only works in the evening on weekdays, and I didn't have time, so I had a different male stylist in the morning, and I saw his US license on his seat, I think. I saw his U.S. driver's license on his seat, but it was not on the previous stylist's seat and he only worked in the evening, so I thought he was probably a student and did not have a driver's license. I wonder if there are a lot of people like that regardless of the industry ？
I am wondering if I should ask the same stylist again because I want to have the same stylist for a long time.

The U.S. is a multi-ethnic country and people with many different circumstances live here.
Did he give you a good cut ？ Is he a skilled person ？
You have to work because you have children.
There are many considerations, such as college rights for children born to illegal parents, called DACa. Never ask if they have a driver's license.
If you are going to ask, choose someone else. It is better to avoid doing something that will hurt a person's life without knowing anything about it.

Worst Japanese-American Beauty Salon Experience of My Life

Problem / Need advice

This is a Japanese hair salon introduced on Vivinavi. I asked them to do my hair for my friend's wedding, but I had to wait for hours for the hair to be done, and they were typing emails while they were doing it. Of course, they were late for the ceremony, and the worst part was that the set was completely different from the picture, and in the latter half of the ceremony, my hair was completely untied. The owner of the shop was LA, and the owner of the shop is a Japanese-American. She told us that the owner of the salon has salons in LA and the Bay Area and caters mainly to celebrities, but I never want to go back to a place like this. I am so angry now that I have cooled down because my big day was ruined by this terrible hairdresser. I want to name names here as well. What is the right thing to do in such a case ？ I would like to get some good advice. Thank you very much.

That's terrible. I also contacted a tax accountant who was referred to me here and was treated terribly ・ I would like to put in a review, but he seems to be a small private practice that doesn't appear on yelp or google. I'm not sure what to do about it, but it seems to be a small private business that doesn't appear on yelp or google. I too am trying to figure out what to do about this anger. I keep telling myself that it might be best to forget about it.

I am not a hairdresser, but I am a business owner. I think the way you come across depends on whether you simply want to complain ？ or want an apology ？ or whether a refund would make you feel better ？ or not. From a business standpoint, I wish they would have contacted us first instead of writing directly to Yelp or Google to complain. Writing an anonymous complaint to Yelp or Google may be an outlet for your anger, but it can be a huge blow to a small business. Do you need to go that far ？ I don't think it will solve the underlying problem, since the person reading the review may see you as a malicious complainer. I suggest you contact them directly and talk to the owner first.

Also, please let me know if you know of any websites with information about the latest cosmetics (e.g. Chanel Eau de Parfum 100ml ）) and other Japanese import regulations.

My name is Rina and I moved here with my husband.
I would be happy to talk to any recruiters or people who can introduce me to jobs in the Bay Area.

I wish I could give you more details individually, but I am currently working remotely from the US for a Japanese IT company.
Thank you very much for your time.

*Excuse me for posting the same in the search for a friend.

About Mexicans in San Jose

Question
#1
  • harusakuhana

I was very curious, and I remember it made my stomach churn, so I am posting this because I recently noticed it and thought I would ask about it on the BibiNavi site.

About 4 years ago, I went to see an ice show at the arena with my grandson and daughter, who bought tickets for us.

We were seated in a box at the front of the second floor, and the box was for two couples, one of whom was a man and a woman of Mexican descent.　
These people watched quietly, but a girl in the back seat, about 6 years old, was there with what looked like her mother, and she kicked the back of my chair with her shoe.
I was surprised and told her to stop and told her mother to be careful, but she turned her head to the side or something, like she wasn't listening. Of course, she didn't respond.

I thought she was harassing me because she was jealous of the box seats. I warned him several times, but he didn't get over it, and it didn't occur to me to call security, so I was getting kicked in the back frequently, and I stopped when I was halfway through the ice show.

The reason why I am writing this now is because I was wondering if Mexican nationals have become so big-faced in the Bay Area recently that they are now harassing Japanese people in this way.

Not because they are Japanese, but because they are creepy people who complain about things that happened 4 years ago and look down on people who are not in the box seats? I don't know.

It may be that they simply did not speak English. Besides, Westerners cannot distinguish between Japanese and Chinese, so I don't think they should be particularly concerned.

I think that's how children are.
It is not because they are of Mexican descent, but because they happen to have such parents. There are good people and bad people, and I think it is the same for Japanese people. I don't know the extent to which they didn't stop even though I warned them many times, but it was a long time ago and it would be better to forget about it quickly and think about other constructive things .

The Bay Area's beauty needs are ？.

Hello, my name is Saya, and I have been an esthetician and massage therapist in Japan for 10 years and in the U.S. for about 2 years.
As I receive feedback from many customers on a daily basis, I suddenly became curious about what kind of esthetic and body massage services Japanese people in the Bay Area are looking for, and I would like to ask a question. If possible, I would like to get two opinions about the services, one is about business trip services and the other is about salon services. I know you have many wishes for genre, atmosphere, skill, price range, etc. I would be happy to hear your honest opinions and requests.
If you have a favorite spa, we would like to know about it too.

About DMV's Written Exam

I have decided to get a driver's license ！
The DMV website says that I need at least two documents for the test, such as ID, bank account documents, apartment contract, and electric/gas bill, etc.
The apartment and electric/gas contract are in my husband's name. The apartment and the electricity and gas are in my husband's name and not in my name. （ I was told that I need an ID to open a bank account, but I could not do so because I do not have a driver's license or ID card.

I would appreciate it if someone who has obtained a driver's license and was in a situation like mine could tell me what kind of documents they submitted to the DMV.

Sorry for the confusing text.

It is faster to go to the DMV office and ask them directly.
Many conditions change. There are many people like you, so the direct consultation window at the DMV is accurate.

The number of documents required will vary depending on whether you have a driver's license only or with Real ID. …

The lease agreement for the apartment will have the names and signatures of the adult roommates other than the contractor (Topi(Topi)》. Please check. If not, please ask them to put their names on the lease and sign it now.

I was able to open a bank account with a passport and a proof of address (a proof of lease) (I know someone who opened a bank account with Bank of America a year ago without SSN.)

I think you can put your name on the cell phone contract too, so please do.

I think you can apply at the DMV if you bring copies of these.

I created an account for my son last year at Union Bank.
I think if you have your permanent residency and passport you can get the account set up quickly, as all you needed was two photo proofs.
I think you also have marriage certificates etc. and it would be quicker to talk to your husband if he helped you ？.

I plan to move to Silicon Valley next February.
I am self-taught, but I can wear everything from yukata to colored tomesode by myself.
I can wear men's kimonos as well, up to everyday wear, though not hakama.
I am not in a hurry to move to Silicon Valley, so if you are not in a hurry, I can help you ….
