“Most people think that the foreigners are here to steal or to profit and then take the money away. They will say ‘go and invest in your own country’.
But when we come we rent land with no house, no nothing and we
build a place to live. When we leave we leave it for them.”
Kenyan Saloonist, Ministries District
“If they stayed inside during the war sometimes they say they hate
foreigners - they’re never friendly. But if they spent time outside they are appreciative because they
know how it was to be a foreigner” Kenyan Saloonist, Atalabara District

“Those Sudanese that stayed here can be back-biting. They are very much in Arabic and then it is difficult for them to adapt to all the English and they are frustrated we can’t talk to them. But still they can be very excited about the salon. They come in and want to get inside the drier, to sit in the chair, they want to know everything that is going on!”
Kenyan Saloonist, Thong Ping District

“Looking Smart”:
The Clients

“…if you don’t look smart you won’t be recognized as someone who has been to
school…it doesn’t have to mean high wealth, even if life is not so smooth some person will go
to the saloon to get their hair and nails done”
Client, Ministries district
“If you apply for a job with short hair they doubt you. It’s important to look beautiful for an
interview…you have to plait and extend your hair to make it look nice…it’s more important
than eating dinner. When your hair is clean you feel good. Even if you haven’t eaten
something.” Client, Thong Ping district
