Anybody else have a problem finding a decent hairdresser these days?

Question

because I certainly do......in the town where I live...outside manchester...I have been to every hairdresser in the town and I would,nt call any of them professional....and the prices they charge are ridiculous.....I asked the last one did they go to college to train ..she said no they learn in the shop... and .they call themselves professionals......and charge professional price.....I have never yet had my hair cut how I ask them too....anybody else have the same problem.....

Answer 1

YES! I cringe when I have to go get a haircut. I have asked many what they would recommend for my face shape and they never know! It is very frustrating...I feel your pain!

Answer 2

Yeah, I haven't had a decent haircut in years. They just don't do it properly and the last one was absolutely terrible. I went home and felt like crying. I have short hair and just want it cut 'gamin style', but they can't even do that properly!

I've been to every hairdresser in my town and I don't know what to do next, 'cos I have two kids and haven't got the time to travel outta town.

Answer 3

I have a mobile hairdresser. She calls to the house. She is an experienced hair-stylist who doesn't want to work full time. I found her ad in one of our local papers a few years ago. She is brilliant and cheaper than the shops. You should look out for one.

Hi Jackie, when you find a good hairdresser let me know.   My sister and I have both had a disastrous experience with a mobile hairdresser only last week. We wanted to look good for her daughters 40th but apart from putting a hat on I don't know what we'll do.She looks as if she's had a mohican and mine looks like a bell. Don't forget let me know if you do find a hairdresser as I also live just in the north of Manchester.Have bell will travel anywhere to get rid of it.

Answer 5

Absolutely. There is nowhere left in my area to try. I would not go back to a single one of them.

You can very clearly say what you want ( and don`t want ) it makes no difference whatsoever. They are a scissor-happy bunch with their own agenda.

I am a hairdresser, but I can`t find a single one to do it my way.

Answer 6

i find the same problem, girls who take a hairdressing course so they dont get involved in crack and tennage pregnancy, i go to a ocal old barbers where he has been cutting for years because he understands how hair suits and does what i want also he's really cheap!

Answer 7

I've just found a good hairdresser in London,she actually listened to me & she was'nt one of those sneaky cutters,who cut abit here then take your hair up at another angle & cut the same bit again,I was really pleased with the cut & even thoe I live in Milton Keynes,I'm definatly going back to her,last time I went to the hair dresser's in MK the woman was half way through & I said STOP!!!,just leave it, I'm going to end up with a head of fluff,so my hair was half done,I hate it when a hairdresser can't cut because they ent exactly cheep & yes its true what your saying they call themselfs professional but really thier clients are thier guinnie pigs for learning,it's such a shame & once your hair is cut it takes so long to grow back,I hope you find a hairdresser that you like soooooon :)
