Recently, a new type of business, hair sale, has emerged in
Armenia. One can come across the following advertisement on the
windows of almost all hairdressers'; "If you have high-quality long
hair, we are ready to buy it at a high price". The most striking is
the fact that a lot of people apply for it.
67-year-old Seda Petrosyan lives with her disabled spouse in the
village of Aramous, Kotayk marz. They can hardly make both ends meet
with the 11 000 AMD, Mrs. Seda's pension. But Mrs. Seda doesn't sit
with her arms crossed. She finds a new source of income every month.
"I used to made baskets. Then I started sewing and knitting. But
unfortunately my sight became poor now and I have given up knitting",
says Mrs. Seda.
It is already two years Mrs. Seda has earned money in a new way. "As
I have neither dyed my hair nor used a hair-drier in my life, my hair
has high quality. Last year I sold it. I don't complain as I got 50
000 AMD for it and we were able to live on the sum. Now I am going
to sell my hair again".
Thousands of women like Mrs. Seda go to the hairdressers' of Abovian
city. But the salons receive only part of them as the quality of
the hair does not always meets the required criteria. One of the
hairdressers said that young ladies have never applied to them with
suchlike request. How do the salons charge for hair? And how do they
use it later on? The hairdressers claim that they charge the costumers
according to the weight and length of the hair. The average price is
30 000 - 120 000 AMD.
