I have just returned from an unplanned, unexpected, and almost unbelievable, totally surreal week.
It started when my wife found an absolute bargain price package last-minute holiday to Luxor, Egypt. Sitting by the pool on the first afternoon, the lady from the hotel Beauty Salon came by, looking for customers. My wife was interested in a manicure and pedicure and somehow, the 2 of them persuaded me to have the same ( I was most reluctant of course!!), not something I've ever experienced before.
Well, over the space of the next 5 days, I progressively had a manicure, a pedicure, flowers painted on my big toe nails, my eyebrows were threaded to a lovely thin curve and then dyed ( that was kind of accidental and very scary, but I love them), my eyelashes were dyed, I had facials, I had a full body scrub and I had a full face make up!! This was all in public in the hotel Beauty Salon and whilst my eyelashes were being dyed there was an American girl sitting next to me having her hair done, it just felt totally unreal, and completely wonderful!
Even more, Egypt is one of the last places you'd expect this to happen, but I had 3 different girls working on me and the Salon owner came in a couple of times as well.
The other amazing thing was that I spent the whole week by the pool and nobody took any notice of what had happened to my appearance, apart from one lady who referred to my “fabulous eyebrows” LOL.
My wife had exactly the same treatments and it was fantastic, both of us side by side, and she also bought me some beautiful jewellery.
We are intending to back later in the year, and guess the first place we are going once we've checked in??
