Midlife Crisis and Hairdressing

A friend of mine opened a hair styling salon in Tel Aviv last month. He and I did our MBA together. Like me, he works at a high-tech company and is used to life in the fast lane, but a couple of years ago he decided he would learn how to cut hair and open his own salon.

"Atmospera", as the place is called, is a cross between a hair salon and an art gallery. The idea is to promote young artists' work with a revolving display.

I wish him all the best with this initiative. I know we're all going through our midlife crisis right now, but hair styling!? I admire him for taking the leap and doing what he felt he wanted to do (whilst keeping his day job...).

Being "midlife" myself I disagree with the "midlife crisis" term. It is a wonderful age : not old yet worldly wise . How about calling it a "midlife growth spurt". One reaches a maturity and with it the courage to follow through old dreams. Inside, don't we all envy your friend just a little :)
