I still remember my childhood memories like it just happened yesterday. Our neighbors always come up to us and look for my mom to have their hair cut, or manicure and pedicure. She does all of this in our living room or a home service if the client preferred. Since there is no hair rebond, hair spa or cellophane treatment that time, it was always just a hair cut or hair curls.
My mom took up a short vocational course in hair dressing when she married my dad at the age of 20 so me and my only brother grew up seeing her styling her own hair and even cutting her own hair by just facing the mirror and a few twists and turns of her arms then she’s done…magnificently.
My dad is an OFW then, but the income somehow doesn’t make us to be able to live a comfortable life. My mom loves us very much and she wanted to give us everything we need so she decided to work in different salons within the city but she still accepts to do the service once in a while if there’s an opportunity. She is the most productive and industrious woman on earth.
I am now an adult, I have 2 kids already, as well as my brother who has a child already but believe me, and no one had the chance to do our hair cut except from my mom. She can do everything.
And now, in a hair rebond, hair spa and Justine Bieber era, my mom still lives through her forte in a first class salon because she doesn’t want to stop doing her passion.
I am so lucky because I don’t get to spend thousands of money to be able to get these treatments and even to go out of my comfort zone just because of my loving and generous mom. I love you, Mommy!
