B: I'd like some highlights. I heard highlighting is very popular now.
H: Sure. What color do you prefer?
B: Could you give me any suggestion?
H: Do you like red? But not too red.
B: No. thanks. not for a woman of my age.
H: How ab out light yellow?
B: Nope. It looks, to be honest, strange on me.
H: Your hair is dark, so the lighter color will be natural. Brown will look nice on you.
B: OK, up to you. How long will it take'?
H: About 3 hours.
B: So long a time!
H: But you will look much younger after 3 hours.
B: OK. My hair is getting dry and the ends split a lot recently.
H: Let me see.... Hmm, you should have a special steam treatment. It's free.
B: Thank you.
英语笔记

2.light 的/t/与yellow 的/j/连读为/tʃ/,light yellow 读作/tʃ eləu/。
3.插入语位于句中不重读。
4.up to you 是指“你决定”。
