This is the entrance to the hair salon I go to about twice a week. It's called Muneer and my friend Ghalia Alul introduced me to the place. Why do I go twice a week? Cause I can get my hair conditioned and blow dried for USD $10! (vs. $35 in Boston) and get a manicure and pedicure for USD $11 (vs. about $30 in Boston) When I have to do a color, I get a color, highlights, cut, blow dry and a special conditioning treatment for $100 (vs. about $300 in Boston and $350 in Australia!) AND it's about a 5 minute drive from my house.
And THIS is my wonderful, kind, talented hairdresser Fuad, who I just ADORE! He knows very little English and only speaks to me in Arabic. So I have learned more Arabic from him then from anyone else in Amman! He treats me like a queen, bringing me tea with mint as soon as I come in and just making me look and feel fabulous by the time I leave. He takes my appointments (even last minute ones) without hassle and is just a really nice guy. He loves Maya and gave her a cute present for her birthday and bought me flowers for mine! He's all of 25, I think, and will be married very soon. He's a wonderful guy.
