Then yesterday morning, after my shower I looked in the mirror and decided that there was still too much hair in the back. Before I knew it, the hair-cutting scissors was in my hand, and I was enthusiastically snipping away, more and more.
I honestly have no idea how it really looks from the back. I didn't arrange the mirrors to see. I'm terrified to discover an uneven patchy mess. And if that's the case, it'll grow out even worse. I'm afraid to let anyone see it.
I guess you can chalk that one up to:
"You get what you pay for."
When we were living in Maale levona, my daughters and I went a few times to Shuki Zikri. The big minuses are it can take all day and the fact that there's no elevator and I have a carriage.
ReplyDeleteNow that we're in Ariel, there are several local hair salons and the girls seem to have found one they really like. It's 50NIS but I figure with the cost of round trip buses and buying lunch or whatnot, it comes out cheaper to stay local.
Plus my husband and I are big fans of local patronage...
ns50 is reasonable. My neighbor charges more. I was in Shuki Zikri last week and there was a line. This week, I didn't wait long.
ReplyDeleteI agree re: patronizing local businesses. I would have a problem of tzniyut in a regular hair salon which is open to the street. The advantage of SZ is that it's upstairs. Schlepping a carriage hasn't been part of my routine for decades. Then my hair was long, and I just chopped off a few inches a couple of times a year.
Actually, the place my girls like has a cutting station set up behind a screen for the Dati, head-covering crowd.
ReplyDeleteWow! HOw complicated would it be to find? I bus/tremp. Ariel isn't all that far. Do you need appointments? Some time after s'fira, but they should advertise here.
