Chicago vs. Dallas: Egyptian Hair Gods


I LOVE getting my hair done in Chicago! There are a slew of hair salons owned by Egyptian men that know how to transform a simple grooming experience into an erotic adventure. Ever since the planning of this road trip began, I have been longing for the day I can go to Yehia or Hassan or Shawie or Ahmad and one of them can work their magic on me! Today, I was at the wonderful mercy of Khaled who rubbed, massaged, and fondled the right folicles, roots and tips. From Jackson to Atlanta to Dallas, no one can do my hair like the Egyptian Hair Gods. Gotta love it!

Yes, well...I see...it's quite obvious you've been to see the hair gods as they've made you into a goddess!

Way to go girl!

sad news, that Shawie was recently killed while traveling in Eqypt a couple months ago. As someone who has gone to him for 15 years, he will be greatly missed.

Yes, I went to Shawie for nearly 20 years! It was after Yehia started on my hair but jetted off to something else and pawned me off on Shawie. I will miss him. He knew exactly what I wanted every time.

But I hear you about the hair. I didn't realize that it wasn't that way all over until I went away to school and simply could not find anyone who knew how to use a blowdryer and boar-bristle brush!

Shawie was killed in Egypt?! That's so sad. Last July I called his salon to get his hours and the machine said that "Due to the sudden death of Shawie the salon is closed until further notice." I was shocked. I've been going to him for a long time. I would drive all the way from the suburbs to see him. He was the only one who did my hair just the way I liked it everytime with no problem. He was such a nice man. So sad, yes he will be greatly missed.

I was shocked and crying. He was such a nice man. I had been going to him for about 5 years. I would drive all the way out from the suburbs to go see him. He was the only one who did my hair the way I liked it. Yes, he will be greatly missed.
