If you desire other treatments
like straightening your hair, the
shop can use chemical relaxers on
your hair to rid kinkiness. Body
waves and permanents for body and
curl are easy to obtain. If you
would like to color your hair,
that's no problem either.
Besides curing damaged hair,
the beauty shop can also take care
of ragged nails with a manicure.
A manicure starts with filing the
nails into a good shape. The cu-
ticles are snipped to prevent
hangnails and provide a healthier
cuticle and nail. ("The cuticle is
the root of the nail, says Diane,
without a good cuticle the nail
will not grow well or be strong")
A nail conditioner is applied to
make nails stronger and more flex-
ible. Then they are massaged and
polished.
During the week the beauty shop
averages about ten customers for
each beautician per day or 30 cus-
tomers a day. "Even more people
need our services when there are
special events occuring or a rota-
tor comes in," says Diane. When it
really gets crowded we have a
fourth part time beautician to help
out.
The shops hours are: Monday, by
appointment only. Tuesday, noon to
5 p.ra. Wednesday and Friday, 9 to
5 p.m. Thursday from 10 to 8 p.m.
Saturday, 9 to 1 p.m. and on Sunday
and holidays they are closed.
Although Monday is by appoint-
ment only, by making an appointment
for yourself on any other day of
the week, even though it is not re-
quired, will insure you of your
treatment. The shop will do walk-
ins only if they are capable at the
moment.

SH3 Reiffenstein likes his work
as a barber mainly, "because it is
the one job i haven't done in my
rate before coming to Iceland."
Frank learned the barber trade
through on the job training and has
been pleasing customers here for
about a year.
The Barber Shop averages 25 to
30 customers a day and usually has

Here at the Barber Shop you can

beard trim, and scissor and razor
cifts are offered for a styled hair-

want it, said SH3 Reiffenstein,
but the majority of our customers
do ask for the military cut."
