When I was in Jordan, I found a salon that straightened my hair correctly with the blow dryer. I have trouble doing my own hair, so it was nice to go there and have it done. Here they do not seem to be able to do it without frizzing it out. So I wear the curly look. They also did the hair removal with the sugaring there or the string method they don't do that here either.

When I got to Jordan, I was armed with my straightener because no one has ever been able to straighten my hair with just a hair dryer. The second day I was there my cousin convinced me to go to the salon with her and get my hair done. I was just amazed with the results. The stylists there are great but thats not the trick to getting straight hair with a blow dryer, its actually the blow dryer itself. The ones they have work at a higher temprature with more power. I recently got one that works just as good, its made by Babyliss, expensive but ohhhhhh so worth it.

I get lost in and around MSU all the time! I moved here 12 years ago from the Detroit area. I lived in Bunkerhill out in the country for along time. Now I live out this way. When I go back to the Detroit area, I get lost now as everything is totally changed. It is strange to go back and have everything so different.

Do you ever come back to East Lansing?

Wendy

I just had to say after reading your post it brought back sooo many memories for me! I went to school in E.L. and I was just reminiscing on all those places. I used to go to Douglas J and the Meridian Mall all the time! I miss Grand Ave!!!!

Hey Wendy - I haven't been back in awhile. I am really hoping to go back and visit soon though, late spring or early summer. I want to show my husband around and visit some friends. We'll have to meet up if we make it down! I LOVE EL!!!

I miss my hair dresser too much

he d my hair fantastic only for 4 dollars and it did look really great now I go to Macy to get my hair done and pay 40$ and it was horrible I do my hair by myself now ..in the salon I used to go toCairo the girl there used to do my eyebrows really perfect ,,when I I wnet to macy's salon she did it horrible that I had to go home and do it again!!!!

I don't know where you live but citysearch.com has reviews on just about everything you could ever want to do in a city. They have a beauty section that will show you the hairdressers in your area and you can read comments that people have made about them. I would never get my hair done at Macys and $40 is way to much to not be satisfied. What did you have done? Around here it's about $30 tops to get a cut and blowdry and around $90 if you want hilights added to the bill.

Hopefully someone in your area will pipe in here on who is good to go to. As for getting eyebrows and all that done, around the Boston area we have special places that are good at that. For example, Elisabeth Grady is a local chain type place where a lot of people go to get facials, eyebrow waxing, leg waxing, etc. and they also do makeup and sell their own line. I don't know if that is a place that is more national (i tend to think not) but there's probably a place in your area that is similar that you can go to. I think every woman, especially if shes pregnant

, needs to be pampered in a place like this where there is soft music, aromatherapy and all the while you're taking care of your skin, etc. I perscribe once a month.

I bought my makeup from Clinique ..I liked very much the Foundation is really good and the eye shadow is great and I got 3 bags of bonus makeup stuff from them because i ent there 3 time I bought alot of stuff from there .This bag has a Kohland Mascara and Lipstick and eyeshadow and eye makeup remover ..
they have an offfer now if you buy your anything from Clinique at YOUNKERS you get this bag this stuff ...Iamhappy I got 3 one for me and theother 2 are for my sisters ..this offer I think till the end Feb ..so Hurry

Glad you like the Clinique. I've been using it for awhile and think it works out the best for me. Seems like every time I try a different makeup from another mfg, my face does break out. And they usually do have good bonuses, LOL. I stock up when a bonus is offered, but I've gotten so many eyeliners that I think I have a lifetime supply, hehe!

Salwa, I was going to say that if you really want something from Cairo, I can pick it up for you while I am there . . . then mail it to you when i get back. Just let me know!
