The Best Hair Salons

When used to live in Europe, I would wait until I came back to Egypt to get my haircut every time. In fact, the best haircut I received in the six years I lived in Europe - was by an Egyptian hairdresser. Egyptian salons know how to make women look beautiful. The best salons are often tucked away in small alleyways, with little ostentation: zero decorations, chairs covered in vinyl, plastic flowers, a metallic wall hanging of verses of the Quran, the smell of ironed hair. The results are always incredible.
