Viscoelastic properties of aqueous solutions of cationic surfactant and sodium salicylate were examined. The results for the complex dynamic viscosity \eta*\, the storage modulus G＇, the loss modulus G＇＇ and the relaxation time LAMBDA were cited and discussed. The zero shear viscosity eta0 shows rather complicated behaviour with two maxima and one minimum for constant surfactant concentration and varying salt content
