can i ask you guys a silly question?? cos i've actually been thinking about this issue over the last couple of weeks. i usually go to a local hairdressers and have been going there for about 3 years. i love the girl that does my hair but no one else at the salon is very good. (i know this cos when she's been away in the past have gone to other girls and not been happy). the problem is, she is leaving to go overseas soon. i've asked around my friends to get a recommendation for a good hairdresser to change to. they all reckon there's no one good local at all, and all go to salons in the city. if i go somewhere in the city, it means i'll have to take my baby (once its born) with me as it is over an hours drive away. do any of you guys take your baby with you?? i don't want to annoy other clients or the hairdresser to dread me coming because of my crying baby, as i know some city salons can be a bit 'hoighty toity' about these things iykwim?? i'm pretty sure at the local salon they wouldn't mind as it's just a small family business and they are all really friendly, most with their own children etc. also it would't be such a big deal for my baby as it's only 5 minutes drive away so it wouldn't be such a long day for the bub. i'm not really sure what to do...i want to look good but just don't think i'm gonna be able to put in the extra ordeal of going to the city with the new bub. sorry to hijack the thread!!! just thought i'd ask as it's been on my mind, thanks gracie xox
Gracie, I'm sure you wouldn't need to go all the way in to town.
Maybe post in the Vic local chat thread, someone mighthave some ideas of where you could go. I'm not exactly sure where the Dandenong Ranges are (ok so I'm crap at geography) but I'm sure there must be good hairdressers closer than the city, what about Ringwood, Boronia etc? Sorry if thats no-where near you!
Used to be about 4 to 5 months for a cut and colour, but have just started going to a new hairdresser and they try and book me in for every 6 weeks! I'm going tomorrow for cut and colour but I'll tell them I'll call them when I'm ready to go again! Probably every 10 to 12 weeks from now.
I paid about $140 last time for colour, 1/2 head of foils and eyebrow wax.
I hadn't even had my hair cut for over 18 months so i went to the hairdressers about 2 weeks ago. I got it cut into a different style, even got a fringe put back in that goes off to the side a bit. havn't had a fringe since i was about 10. I then got it coloured blue-black(normally its brown) and got some red foils throughout. Looks pretty funky and it was really needed. It cost me $160.
eeeek! that means you are holding ME responsible! if it's anything like how mine went Saturday, then you'll be thanking me later!! hehe I am so happy i got mine done... i ended up spending $40 on shampoo and conditioner (total) damn it! Its for blondes, you know that stuff? but it keeps your hair from going yellow and yuccky blonde colours so yeah i needed it!!! besides, i figured, hey, i'll be pregnant within 3mths time (I hope) so once i'm pregnant i dont think i'll want to get my hair done so yeah i'm spoiling myself now as i wont be able to do it for 9mths hehe
My hairdresser is relocating so he gave me a free cut and colour today in exchange for selling some stuff on Ebay, I'm stoked! usually I pay around $90 every three months, I refuse to go anywhere else as he's the best.
I'm not into facials or massages so getting my hair done is my pampering time, hehehe..
The last time I went to the hairdresser was 5 days before my due date, the hairdresser was impressed that I was happily out and about so late in my pregnancy...well after everyone telling me I would most likely be overdue what was there to worry about? I got home, parked, jumped out of the car and my waters broke! Anyway, that was almost 11 months ago and I have no plans to get my hair cut at the hairdressers as yet......and I haven't dyed my hair in over 5 years, in fact I've never had my hair coloured at the hairdressers either. I think its because I had some awful hair cuts as a child.....
Caz - yeah my DF cant understand why i need to go to hairdresser every 5mths! I tell him that that is not bad considering some women go once a month!! (not that that is bad either)
I cut my DF's hair for him with the electric shaver, no#2. saves us $$ and doesnt look that bad! I am getting good at it
Rayray - yeah the purple stuff... sorry bit late replying!!!
I just got my roots re done on Monday and got my red foiled re hi-lighted, looks mich better.
Ren, i also do DHs with either #2 or #3. So much easier plus he wont go to a hairdresser because he thinks $20 is too expensive. yet I pay over $100 and he thinks that's fine lol.
