Today she started learning how to bath the customers hair (banado).

While bathing the hair need to massage the head too.

Shirley has not partner to practice this hair bathing (hair washing), so the teacher asked her to practice on her hair.

After returning home she practice on Felicia. But she never bath my hair. Never. I do not have much hair anyway.



In the weeks that follow they learned how to lavado de crema (wash with  creme).

And they need to buy plastic cap, electronic cap, tapa, bowl and brush.

They also learn sterilization.  

They have nice uniform.

Shirley brought Sussana and the mother with her to beautician school.

As students in a saloon school need many “heads” for their practice.

But Sussana and her mother are happy to be “Gunnies Pigs” because for the first time in their live they have their hair applied with banado al aceite. Even more excited for the first time having someone to “cleansed their faces”

The beauty school use points system as insensitive.  Shirley got 7 points in school today.
