The woman who stumped me..

I am an ardent FEMINA, VOGUE reader .I read what is right for skin , what to put on skin etc. Although I don't follow it myself, I prefer being a lazy bum and accept my skin as a dear gift from GOD and take it as it is. All I do these days is  boast around my knowledge of cosmetics , I had a belief , which now I consider a pure hallucination that  "I know the things"  .I know, a combination of Salicylic acid and benzoyl peroxide is good for treating oily skin , a combination of betain and cocamidopropyl , cetearl alcohol is good for treating dry skin.

Today, I was ushered into this beauty parlour ,I could hear the chik-chika-chik-chik-chik sound of a scissor running over someone's hair.  I kid you a little. But really, this beauty parlour had  "feel good about yourself" or "pamper yourself" virtual tag line for itself.Behind the semi translucent door of the parlour, sat a woman of visibly average experience . But it  took me almost 45 minutes to realise that she isn't exactly quite as average as her deposition.Dressed in a simple ,crisp ,printed saree, with a pair of glasses almost slipping over her nose and beautiful smile welcoming us .I went there with my roomie who wanted to have a hair spa .The word 'spa' itself sounds tony.I know!! *grin*

And the expository conversation began with details about what that posh word involved. She very nicely explained us the pros and pros and only pros of doing it. Being a cynical piece of filth( who loves asking questions till not satiated), I started shooting my doubts, riddles about hair care. And , O my my, I was impressed or rather STUMPED.*got off from my high horse*.This woman started the  explaination with the follicle nature including the sebaceous gland,the difference between dermatitis and psorasis.There I was left gawking, celebrating my self assured ass ,super duper impressed by her intellect and simplicity .  Never have been in my life I am stumped by any woman in a parlour. The process of spa began , I sat comfortably natting with my friend and keeping another eye on that woman and this woman continue to impress me , beguile me with her management. She had her finger on the pulse.

Running a beauty parlour is a great business it does not require huge investment, what it requires it striking a chord with customers, know their skin , know their problem and know the solution ,the better you know , the better will be your dividends.Because GALS are never satiated with their beauty , they want more.

And trust me that woman has got a knack about her work, she knows her onions. A couple of hours of her professional escapades had me thinking that this is what makes a great run in a professional life span.

P.S. I do consider taking care of how you look like, skin is important . And, from heart I congratulate all girls for taking care of how they look and for not taking skin for granted. This is adorable. Looking beautiful is not easy, it takes efforts, I understand. Hope I someday start following what all I read.
