Elsa has wanted long hair for a long time - ever since we took out the extensions she had done in Ethiopia some eight months ago. Her dream came true this week when my mom scheduled a hair appointment at the salon she manages.
She was thrilled - until she remembered just how painful it is...

The stylists kept telling her,
"Beauty is pain,
beauty is pain."
"Beauty is pain,
beauty is pain."





If you ask Elsa I'm pretty sure she'll tell you, the pain is worth it.
