I Found a New Hair Stylist YEAH!!!!

Anyone who follows my blog probably knows about my problems with trying to find someone who can fix my hair the way that I like it. I have been dealing with my hair while in Dubai and when I go to NY, I have MY stylist take care of it and hope it lasts as long as possible. Well, my December fix was getting a bit shaggy and I was determined to find someone who would take care of it for me. I have a friend at work who has a really nice haircut and I asked who cuts her hair. She gave me his name and I made an appointment. Well, Leda is from Iran and has a very heavy accent. I love talking with her but sometimes have to ask her to repeat something for me. She was telling me how to get to this beauty shop and I thought she was saying Dubai Marine. Yesterday, I went to Dubai Marine which is all the way at one end of Beach Road. When I could not find the shop, I called and they told me they are in Dubai MarinA, which is all the way at the other end of Beach Road and I had to be there in 15 minutes. Not possible. So, when I made the call I was standing in front of a shop in a hotel - I walked in and said I need a hair cut. A very cute young man said he has time and asked me to have a seat. I was a bit anxious as I did not know anyone there and worried that I would walk out with all my hair standing on end. But I was pleasantly surprised. This guy spoke very good English - he is from Jordan and when I sat down he said - you need some volume on the top. I knew then that he was going to be able to fix my hair the way I wanted. I also enjoyed our conversation as Alex has just been to Jordan and we could talk about the places he visited. Of course when I walked out, it was with a style that I could never do myself but I think even Ed liked it last night so I knew I was successful. When I left he said he hoped to see me again and not by mistake the next time. It just goes to show that sometimes you are in the right place at the right time.
