A woman, very clearly from a Yerushalmi family (black beltless dress, black tichel, etc.) was seen in a perfume shop in Ge’ulah trying the various fragrances etc. Asked about her actions by an individual who was as unfamiliar with Yerushalmi women as she was with yoshon and cholov Yisroel, she replied, “you don’t think we adorn ourselves and prepare ourselves for our husbands. We wear perfume (and I heard even sheitlach) at home for our husbands. Never out of the house for someone else’s husband.

Having said that, if the salon and spa has pictures in their windows that b’nei Torah try hard to avoid, I think the protesters are correct. This was the case in Flatbush some time ago, and the owner removed the pictures and eventually moved the store completely.

The protesters should be matzliach.

At least in America they have the right to protest.

Iris gives good service, affordable prices and makes ladies look and feel pretty for their husbands. Don’t we know women back in the times of the Beis Hamikdash adorned themselves & used scented oils & cosmetics? What’s wrong with having clean nails and smooth feet? Surely husbands would like their wives to feel good about themselves. Is that so bad? What, a pedicure is going to send them into evil ways & OTD? Beats me.
