Item: visit to the salon - hair washed, curled and treated

 

Cost: 8,000 UGX

 

Notes: Martina been working as teacher for 1 year, but stopped because

of pregnancy. She will stay home and take care of her son until next

school year starts at the end of September. Sam, her husband, doesn't

want her to go back to work just yet because he thinks she needs to stay

home for their son, at least for now. Martina of course wants to take

care of her son but doesn't like the fact that she doesn't have 'her own

money'. She normally makes 100,000 UGX per month, but because she's not

working now she had no income and has to ask Sam for money, which of

course she doesn't like to do.

 

There are two things she normally does with her hair. She can buy hair

at the market for about 1,500 UGX. Then in the salon they will braid it

for her, wash, treatment etc. this costs around 20,000 UGX but you can

leave it in for 2-3 months. The other thing she does is what she did

now: she gets her own hair washed, culled in and treated. This costs

8,000 UGX but will only last about 3 weeks.
