Story
I went to the Canary Islands with the intention of finding a job as a hairdresser because here in Santiago it was complicated if you did not have experience, so as in the Canaries we did not know anyone, a friend and I, through an ETT, we got a job as floor maids in which they gave us lodging, but since that job was not what we wanted to work with, we kept trying to find one to work for hairdressers, after a while they called me to do an interview and they took me, so I quit my job as a waitress, and I went to work as a hairdresser but I had to find a house which I shared with two compañeras, and there I was for 4 and a half years, after that time I returned to Galicia, my immigration was temporary. I have a hairdresser in Santiago that is mine and it's called M & L, I have to do a pendular immigration from my house, in Brión, to my hairdressing salon, in Santiago.
