Tamara's Here! Posted by Posted by Imogen Loakman on 4 March 2016 Posted on: 4 March 2016

You can’t wash your own hair if you can’t put your arms above your head. Tamara has come up with a great solution

Instead of paying a carer (or asking mum) to come and help her in the shower, Tamara goes to a hair salon to get her hair washed, and pays for this out of her EGL personal budget.

Tamara picked Synergy Hair salon because she found the ladies were really nice there. When she wants her hair cut or coloured, she will pay for it like everybody else, but having a regular shampoo and condition means that Tamara’s independence and dignity is maintained.

Who knows, with Tamara’s BUBBLY personality she might strike up a friendship with Courtney who is doing her hair here!!
