A Me Day

Today I figured it was time to go have a me day, so I made an appointment at an upscale salon and spa only because I had a 50% off coupon as a new customer. This place was nice, it had a full spa, salon, fully equipped gym, and everything you could want in a salon. As I walked in I was offered wine, water, or coffee. Their were apples to grab and it just felt really inviting. I couldn't help but notice that most of the stylist were speaking Spanish. They were very attractive girls and I would have never known they were Mexican until I heard them speak. As my stylist and I got to know each other, I asked where she was from. She said she had come from Mexico 12 years ago. The same for the stylist right next to us when a woman asked where she was from. I am not one to discuss controversial issues on my blog, but with all the media attention on Arizona's SB 1070 law, I found it odd that most of the workers were Mexican and most of the clientele were Caucasian. Hmmm, I thought..........now might some of these ladies (costumers) be in favor of that law. Anyway, I am sure all these wonderful nice employees were legal, but you start to wonder how widespread this is. Mothers are being deported back to Mexico even though their children are US citizens and they attended high school here. There are so many sad cases like this all around Tucson. Overall, I loved this place. I felt so welcomed and pampered. I have surely found my salon and the perfect stylist. I hope she is here to stay for a long time........
