7 Reactions to Expect at a Beauty Salon<\/p>\n

1. \u201cKteeeeer ta3ben sha3rek.\u201d (Your hair is very tired).<\/b><\/big><\/big>

( Image via <\/a>)<\/p>\n

This first oh-so-lovely remark is to get you to start investing in their countless hair creams, shampoos, conditioners, leave-in gels, etc. Don\u2019t get me wrong, your hair may be \u201cta3ben,\u201d what with the grueling summer sun and dry weather, but you won\u2019t find him proposing any home remedies.<\/p>\n

2. \u201c2eedi khadra.\u201d (My hand is green) \u2013 not literally.<\/b><\/big><\/big>

Meaning: let me cut your hair and it will grow longer than never before. Apparently, the Lebanese hair industry induces a superstition of its own. To be totally frank, I have been one to fall under this superstition with one particular hair dresser. But when it really comes down to it, it\u2019s merely a biological response based on the time in which you cut your hair.<\/p>\n

3. \u201cLeh mesh shayfek hon 2abel?\u201d (Why haven\u2019t I seen you here before?)<\/b><\/big><\/big>

( Image via <\/a>)<\/p>\n

As if my stumbling into the salon was fate… destiny… an inevitable coincidence. And I\u2019ve been missing out my entire life. Say farewell to bad hair days and mani-pedis, here is the salon of your dreams.<\/p>\n

4. \u201cI am at your service!\u201d<\/b><\/big><\/big>

( Image via <\/a>)<\/p>\n

What a misleading phrase this one is! They always say this and then totally disregard your instructions. \u201cBaddek leess? No, bess curly byelba2lek aktar!\u201d (You want straightened hair? But curly looks better on you!\u201d *Mmmm, I don\u2019t recall asking for your opinion.* Eventually and just MAYBE, they end up doing what you want, but only after a long period of trial and error. Still frustrating nonetheless!<\/p>\n

5. \u201cWhy don\u2019t you try keratin?\u201d<\/b><\/big><\/big>

( Image via <\/a>)<\/p>\n

Make way for the chemical shitstorm. Every curly-haired girl; hell, EVERY girl will be proposed this question at least once. Especially at salons where staff workers are not the most genuine… You are just another customer to them. Why would they care about the overall quality of your hair? And if you are already susceptible to meddling with your appearance, be very afraid of these sharks. <\/p>\n

6. \u201cI have the perfect model for you!\u201d<\/b><\/big><\/big>

( Image via <\/a>)<\/p>\n

Whether it\u2019s a nail polish to match your skin tone or a reflexology massage to calm your nerves, there\u2019s always something unique in stock just for you! Towards the end of your usual hair blow-out, the hair dresser will mention a formal up-do or retro-styled model that would look simply fabulous on you with your face frame and long body. Whether that\u2019s really the case, only you, yourself will know. He may simply be trying to lure you in for whence you have any MAJOR events as well. When you finally do give him the chance to work his\/her magic, you most likely end up looking like a poodle. Be specific! The concept simplicity is beauty heeds most!<\/p>\n

7. \u201cFa aymta badna nerja3 shoufek?!\u201d (So when will we see you again?!)<\/b><\/big><\/big>

( Image via <\/a>)<\/p>\n

The moment your hair blow-out is over, your nails are done, or your exfoliating face mask is dry, the artist poses the question for reassurance that you will be back again. \u201cSoon, enshallah, soon\u201d \u2013 the usual, habitual response.<\/p>\n
