The Art of Perms, Friendship and Freedom. A few illustrations.
Pull aside the heavy curtains and walk into a vibrant oasis - the Kabul Beauty School. It is the domain of women only, where Deborah Rodriguez and her students are practising the art of beauty - Afghan and American style.
Welcome to the war-torn capital of Afghanistan, where tanks rumble through the streets and women are second-class citizens. Meet Deborah Rodriguez, down-to-earth woman from Michigan, USA, who landed in Afghanistan in 2002 with just a beauty degree and the urge to help.
Find out why Debbie made Kabul her home and established a beauty school so Afghan women could support themselves and their families. Discover why she entered an arranged marriage and how it blossomed into love. And step inside the lives of the students, teachers and customers at her school - the twelve-year-old engaged to be married to save her family's reputation, or the newlywed who must faker her virginity.....
All of these women have a story to tell and they share these stories at the Kabul Beauty School, where along with Rodriguez herself, they learn the art of perms, friendship and freedom.
