The Kabul beauty school
The Kabul beauty school
Debbie, the American hairdresser who co-founds the training salon in Afghanistan. As the burqas are removed in class, curls are coiffed and make-up is applied, Debbie's students share with her their stories - and their hearts. Mina, forcibly married to a man in repayment of a family debt and threatened with having her child taken away. Roshanna, a tearful young bride terrified her in-laws will discover she's not a virgin. And Nahida, the prize pupil who bears the scars of her Taliban husband's approval. In the Kabul Beauty School, these women and many others find a safe haven and the seeds of their future independence. All of these women have a story to tell, and all of them bring their stories to the Kabul Beauty School, a place of perms, friendship and freedom.
