first ethonography field day

Last night Erin and I drove to Vivid Details Salon in Champlin. We had our small blue and purple notebooks and pens in hand as we walked through the doors. The smell of hair and nail products was drenching the air with the strong scent. Both Erin and I were nervous as we introduced ourselves to the manager, Mandy. We sat in the black leather chairs and observed our surroundings for the next hour and a half. It was a Wednesday night and with only a few employees and customers there it was awkwardly quiet. We wrote and wrote in our tiny sheets of paper, eyeing the clock. It was an experience different from anything else. I'm hoping next time the employees will be more inviting, should be an interesting project.
