I don't know how people successfully moved to a brand new place before Facebook. Having access to a community of people who have come before you, and are more than willing to share their opinions about things, you can ask anything and get answers. For example, the post I created asking for someone who can cut curly hair. I got 38 replies of different hair studios, or individuals who will come to you, or links to hairdresser's sites. I got replies from hairdressers, and people who have gotten their hair done by someone who was great. I got people replying by tagging a friend who has curly hair they get cut here who then replied with who they went to. It is all very nice...and desperately needed. I got my hair cut right before we left in January and have been keeping up the sides on my own since then. The curls were getting out of control though. Today was the day. I chose a gay Irishman out of a bougie hair studio. I was not disappointed. He got my cut exactly right and the price was reasonable. I will happily go back to him, but it is nice to have the 37 backups too.
