A visit to Nooshi Nayak's hair salon in San Jose was always about more than a cut and a blow dry.
It's been an inviting place for men and women to visit, gossip, talk about relationships, the neighborhood or the news of the day.
Nooshi came to the U.S. as a college student, but when the 1979 Islamic Revolution took place, and the Ayatollah Khomeini took power, she could never go home again."My first reaction is being so proud of all these women who are taking such a humongous risk on their freedom, their health, their lives to stand up for their rights -- their human rights," she said.
"What has gotten us excited is to end 43 years of oppression against women," said Dina Asna, one of the demonstration's organizers. "We can support them by just being aware and talking about this," said Cynthia Frybarger, who was getting her hair done.
