    Danica in Momento
    Grainne in The Hut
    Angel hair salon behind Park House is closed for renovations but are excellent and cheap!!

    What kinda hair do you have, that might help people suggest names/places...


  • Registered Users Posts: 8,085 ✭✭✭Xiney


    I'd also like suggestions, and maybe not get moved into the old thread since stylists move around so much and current info is way more helpful!


    lots of fine/delicate wavy hair here. Colour treated and being stupidly dry right now, I definitely need a trim.


  • Registered Users Posts: 5,095 ✭✭✭LadyMayBelle


    I think the old threads got merged and moved to F+A but I agree with Xiney in that stylists move etc. I have always heard great things about Velvet in Barna..

    I had an absolutely excellent experience with Orla in Talents, Terryland last Thursday. She gave me the most thorough consultation in advance of colouring my hair, was really friendly but not overbearing and most of all, they were up to €60 cheaper than anywhere else. Highly recommended!

    Price of Full Head of highlights on v. long hair plus cut: €90 - €100.
    Classy and expensive looking hair to cheer self up: priceless :)


  • Registered Users Posts: 8,085 ✭✭✭Xiney


    jesus that's a great price for highlights & a cut on v. long hair!

    wow!

    How much is a cut on its own, do you know?

    Is Bernie expensive? Does she charge salon prices or top stylist price?

    nah shes good but i dont think shes a senior stylist. i think Paul is and he charges top dolla and goes through a whole consultation thing!
    over heard him asking a girl beside me before what she liked about her hair, what she woud change/keep etc etc....

    Actually found a cc receipt in my bag from my last visit got highlights,conditioning treatment restyle cut blowdry etc for 95e

    I'm still promoting Angel Hair Salon but it is closed for another two weeks due to renovations...28euro for a cut, 40 for colour. Not sure whether those prices will have changed with the reopening but I'll find out as I'll be booked in for both plus a hair strip as I went too dark:)

    In 2 weeks ???:) Why r they close? What is the name of the stylist?:o


  • Registered Users Posts: 5,095 ✭✭✭LadyMayBelle


    They're renovating. It's owned by a Polish girl and they all speak polish while you're in there but they cater for anyone, and mainly on recommendations form other satisfies customers. I tend to go for fringes, blunt with wispy bits and the tall girl whose name is Basha/Barbara has little english but bring a pic or ask one of the girls to translate. Little Basha is good too but not as good IMO...I'll keep you posted as to when it's open but i rang last Tuesday and they said 2 weeks:)


  • Registered Users Posts: 5,095 ✭✭✭LadyMayBelle


    Actually, if I can hijack the thread a little more :) my cousin has curly hair, not super tight but much more curly than wavy..and is looking for a hairdresser who is good with that hair..she also wants a fringe......


  • Registered Users Posts: 8,085 ✭✭✭Xiney


    fringe + curly hair = nothing but pain lies down that road.

    Seriously. Been there, done that, have the awful school photos...

    I think it ranges from 30 - 45 depending on length etc.
    Yup it was a great price, and I did a lot of research before going because I had a small budget and some badly home-dyed hair! No skin tests necessary, no faffing about, in and out in under 3 hours.[ My hair was v.v.long]
    Kate, looked like wella colours that they used, and seem to represent the Alfaparf stuff too. But seriously, I was so chuffed with the do, I'll defo be back.
    After a weekend of rain hail and shine and the bonnet is still holding up :)

    On an aside, for curly hair, this stuff is your only man. Tames the curlies, defines and defrizzes. Get it in boots!
    Works on boys too, apparently :pac:


  • Registered Users Posts: 5,095 ✭✭✭LadyMayBelle


    Can I pull this thread back up again? (shut it and I'll repost if not mods)
    So devastated(!) as the hairdressers I ranted about is STILL closed for renovations and I was holding out for them, but really need the hair done.

    I need it stripped. Was meant to go to them before they shut for it but didn't get the time. They would charge e5 to have it stripped as it is horrible dark brown with light brown roots and colour will only take to it if it's been stripped. And then I'll need it coloured a fresh new colours (semi-permanent) and tidied up.

    I'm far from loaded. The whole package was costing me less then 70 quid in my old place so don't want to go somewhere where they'll be charging 150+.

    Anyone tried any schools of hairdressing or have an idea of costs? I might try Grainne in the hut but again afraid it will cost a bomb.. any ideas or suggestions?

    Possible thread hijack, but can anyone recommend a good hairdressers in Galway for an up-do?

    I'm going to a wedding on the bank holiday weekend and thought I might get my hair put up, just for something different. Never had it done before (well except about 10 years ago for my debs!), so I have no clue where to go or even what price to expect! Any ideas?

    Thanks!

    Well, I can recommend Danica in Momento, she did hair for a friend of mine for a wedding and it was amazing..a kind of up do that came around into a side ponytail with curls...


  • Registered Users Posts: 440 ✭✭biddywiddy


    Thanks Lady Pennyworth. I might check out Momento so. I have a voucher for a wash and blow-dry for Andy's hair salon on Prospect Hill (anyone know it?) that I won ages ago, so I was thinking of using that for the wedding. Then one thought lead to another and now I want an up-do! :D
