help me find this plant...

I saw a plant/small tree in a store and would love to have it at home...can anyone help me try to identify it by description?
It has a bulb type at the base of the stem/trunk and the leaves look like hair hanging down. It's very full and string-like leaves.

Thank you!

Thank you Rima. I have one in my front yard and didn't know what they were talking about.
