Women of the foreign missions patronize various beauty shops and, as of summer 2003, a very good haircut, color, highlight, and styling runs about $40. Many international brands of shampoo and cosmetics are available, but bring special hair-care products with you if you are very particular. There are good coloring products available, but what is fashionable in Bulgaria, in terms of hair color or highlighting, might not be what you are accustomed to. Some women prefer to color their hair themselves rather than take a chance. Barbers in Bulgaria are fairly good and are reasonably priced.
