Gimme a Cut Please!

Gimme a Cut Please!

Just another one of those “services” that we don’t think about much until we’re here in Costa Rica and then we seek the input of others or we just experiment around until we find what we want, and that can be trying as we want more than the army type of haircut with an electric razor, which means a scissor cut from a salon, not a barber.

Today I am talking about a good place to get a haircut, one comparable to the one I used to go to in Dallas for a haircut that I was paying way too much for. You will be pleased to know that this quality of haircut can be obtained right here in Grecia, and more importantly, I can get my hair cut 4 times for what I paid in the States! That is a huge difference, and I am very happy to tell you about it! Cheryl and I both go there, and the people in the salon are all very nice and with all their hearts, they aim to please. They have all the hair and body products you could want, most of which are imports from the States. Andrea, the proprietor, is quite fashionable and also carries a wide variety of purses and costume jewelry.

She is learning English at an impressive rate, and it is quite comical to watch her speaking English to me whilst I practice my Spanish on her.

They provide a full range of services that include:

• Haircuts (with scissors and layering just like in the States).
• Manicures and pedicures (I’ve seen quite decorative fingernail painting too!).
• Hair coloring and frosting.
• Massages and nutritional information.

Andrea and team are located just up the street from the Red Metal Church in downtown Grecia in the same building as our recommended attorney Sylvia Eastwood. Stay tuned to this very channel for an upcoming article on Sylvia, as one of the most important contacts you can have in Costa Rica is a meticulous attorney who speaks English!
