But then I have realized that people expect "beauty advice" when they go to parlours. <br />We just have to let them know that we'll ask for it if we need it.<br /><br />N, ha ha!

When I firmly say NO to her offer to dye my hair, she sheepishly says, 'you look graceful with grey hairs ma'm'. she once even asked me,'can't you afford 500 Rs. Per month for facials? I said NO!!!! I don't want it and she doesn't understand. She knows I sing and she starts singing in her high pitched piercing voice and asks, 'kaise alga'? I go their because She stays close by and i can get my hair style spoiled for lesser amount, because she charges less ! :)Brindahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04662836227696601747noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11795715.post-74316880287924156242013-08-05T09:15:05.681-07:002013-08-05T09:15:05.681-07:00This just does not happen only with women..I hope ...This just does not happen only with women..I hope someone writes about this for men too.The barbers in Bangalore are very well known for their salesmanship.Here is how they take you down..<br /><br />You saunter into the shop and take your seat.He gives you your reverse superman cape and then examines your hair and then asks you "Eshtu sir age u". You answer..His next question will be "Madve aagidya" now you think why he is asking you this question. You say "illa". His next comment will be "Koodhlu thalege kireeta idda haage saar, Saryag nodkollilla andre Kale ne iralla saar" You wince and grimace and then he brings his USP "Hosa mehandi/sugandhi mix dye idhe hachla sir". By this moment you are beaten down and can't come up with anything else but "Sari haakappa"...<br />The same routine repeats every time you go wherever you go..<br /><br />-N<br /><br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11795715.post-31264580413458492562013-08-04T22:18:10.986-07:002013-08-04T22:18:10.986-07:00Hi Shruthi, I dont quite agree.

The girl is NOT doing her job, she is over stepping her boundaries.Like you explained, you have the "urge" to correct the grammar or edit the resume - you dont go about actually doing it, or even suggesting it to the author/person , do you? And you clearly have more faith in the milk of human kindness than I do.I usually smell "very bad marketing ploy" in such circumstances. Especially if I hear Oxygen/Gold/Ozone or some such thing in the same sentence as hair, skin or nails:)).KAnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11795715.post-81476950218816139412013-08-04T21:08:35.051-07:002013-08-04T21:08:35.051-07:00hAAthi, you should post it!

M...It is an evil, and we have made it necessary :( <br />Mostly I go to the parlor to get my brows trimmed (they are almost straight and some - only some of them have a propensity to outgrow the others - My Mom fondly calls me kroor singh ) or when my hair start looking more like they belong at a rat's coccyx rather than a human head. <br /><br />Yeah, I get a lot of advice on how I should apply castor oil to my eyebrows and hair to make them grow better, one lady was even suggesting that I might be anemic, which was why I was losing so much hair. <br /><br />Reading this post was good for me. They are only doing their job! parijatahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17766691048085485541noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11795715.post-28073031696123474222013-08-02T00:27:18.694-07:002013-08-02T00:27:18.694-07:00OMG I have a half written post about how much I ha...OMG I have a half written post about how much I hate going to the parlour. I should post it.. so many overlaps in thought.<br /><br />I hate the unwanted advice. Mostly because I dont give a crap about how I look. My zit-ridden face has been the way it has since I turned 14. My hair is frizzy and I dont care. <br /><br />But most of all I hate going to the parlour because its a sheer waste of time. It hurts me to waste 2 hours every 4-5 weeks, in such a mindless activity!Revati Upadhyahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12935010405521401337noreply@blogger.com
