hair and nails recommendation: language barrier? no problem!

hair and nails recommendation: language barrier? no problem!

finding your people in a new country is hard enough. finding someone who can do your hair AND your nails AND figure out what you mean even when you don't have the words? that's a whole thing.

i've been going to the same salon in bahia, brazil for months. they do my hair, they do my nails, and not once have they made me feel like the language barrier was my problem to solve alone. three people, one phone translator, and i left with the best blow-dry i've had in over a year.

if you're an american living abroad and you're still nervous about trusting someone with your hair --- this one's for you.

IMPORTANT: if you go to get your nails done ask for Brenda. she is the only one that I can recommend.
