    Would anyone out there be able to recommend a good ladies hairdresser in Dundalk. I am interested in one who can give a really good cut that lasts as I have really thick hair that needs it. Most hairdressers I have visited over the years are difficult to communicate with and not very willing to listen to client's views they go ahead with the same style they know and use on everyone without taking into account face shape, age etc. My experience on visiting salons is hair is washed and then a stylist approaches asks what are you having done, whilst sometimes talking to anothe stylist in midst of you trying to explain. They say sorry and then proceed without offering any suggestions. This has been my experience over last 15 years attending 4 different salons. I also feel when your hairdresser gets used to you they dont seem to put in a special effort any more.. Has anyone else had this experience or am I just visiting the wrong salons. Would be grateful if I got name of a salon and a hairdresser that is different. Average price I have paid for a wash cut and blow dry is 40 Euro and around 110 for colour cut and highlights. Is this same in all salons or are there better services at higher prices in the town.

    Try The Hair Shop in Williamsons Mall. Nial (or it might be Neil!!) is very good. He will sit down with you before your hair is washed to discuss what you want done and what he might recommend. Haven't been there for a while but last time I think it was around €50 - €55 for wash, cut and blowdry.

    I have thick hair too so need it cut every 6 - 8 weeks.
    I go to Anne Maries down beside the Home Bakery (across from the side entrance to the Century Bar)
    A dry cut is €6.50, I can't say what a wash/cut/blowdry is but I would imagine it would be in or around the €25 mark.
    She is nice and is willing to give advice if you need it.

    Guys ,

    I'm pretty open minded in THIS forum about name and shame , provided there is evidence about the incident.

    Now for instance i have read sudz post on FAP forum , and i have to say i was gutted for her.

    Monet !

    Needed a change from my usual hairdresser so took Sudz's advice and went to Niall in the Hair Shop...and it was the best hairdressing experience i've ever had!! He's brilliant. gave me loads of advice on my hair type, tips on styling at home and most importantly, a really good cut. Really nice guy. highly recommended!
