...and have some time out to relax and be made beautiful, we can join the queue of Tanzanian ladies at our local nail/ beauty salon and have our nails painted...
However, getting a haircut in Dodoma can be more of a problem. It is not easy to find a hairdresser here who is confident with cutting "European"-type hair. Therefore, when a professional hairdresser visits Dodoma, she is inundated with work from the resident "wazungu" (white-skinned people).
This is where Alice comes into the picture. Alice is an American lady who now lives in Moshi and visits MAF Dodoma from time to time. She was a professional hairdresser in the USA for 35 years before coming to Tanzania. Alice arrived here on Tuesday evening and has been cutting hair non-stop since Wednesday! It is funny to live in a community where so many of our friends /neighbours/ colleagues all get a new look in the same week -we have to grab the opportunity of a haircut while we can!!
Don't like the look of that pot hole in the road but Esther is looking as beautiful as ever.Had my hair permed in my own home and my own choice of time on Wed. - would never have thought anything of it before but having read your blog what a treat to have Rachel my own hairdresser who will come to my own home whenever.m
