The tweet below contains potentially useful information, but it has a couple of flaws.

It was sent in response to one of OpinioN8's automated tweets but will not spontaneously appear in the forum. What I need is a mechanism for getting the reply into OpinioN8 without my having to go and look for it. Ideas please to [e-mail].

It does not tell how to contact the hairdresser in question - perhaps Richard could add these to our trades and professions page

Hello. I'm interested in a freelance hairdresser if she will do kids' hair (three of them) for a reasonable price.

Hi Richard

 

Is your sister in law still working locally?  I'm looking for someone to come to my home and cut my hair.  What are her contact details?

I went to MP4 last time and was very pleased.  I used to go to Elysian Fields but my last cut and colour was not good and it was very expensive. 

[claire levy]

thanks for this! do you mind me asking what kind of hair you have? Claire

[CrouchEnd Cupcake]

I have long, thick curly hair!

 

On another almost hair related matter, I had my eyebrows dyed and plucked today at Singhar on Topsfield Parade. I look like an angry badger.

[CrouchEnd Cupcake]

£14 for dye and threading.  Not a bad price but a horrible result! They were just too thick and black - I've plucked them a bit more at home but they're now a bit wonky!  Problem is because they were really blonde before so it looked like I had no eyebrows - actually I've got loads and now they're black, they're a bit harsh!  Dare say I'll get used to them.

I would reccommend MP4 I've been back many times (cut and half head highlights) and in general been very pleased with it - good service, good result.  Price wise, it's about what I would expect of a London hairdresser, and in line with other hairdressers in the area. I've also tried peppermint green, which I was less pleased with, although to be fair to them I cannot pinpoint exactly why - the hair cut and colour was fine, I just didn't enjoy the experience as much as when I went to MP4.

[claire levy]

thanks for your recommendations! i've booked with mp4 - so shall let you know how i get on.... C

I'd also really recommend Avalon, she is very good.

What are there prices like?

 

I have been goign to peppermint Green [by going i meant that one time I had money and got my haircut] and they LIE on their website, prices say £25 for a cut and I came out paying £60 for literally just a trim and blowdry I didn't want or ask for, they spent hours blowdrying my hair despite my 'its fine! just dry it!' protests and I came out looking like Rachel from Friends. Which is a good look admittedly but not what I wanted.

 

ANNOYED. Everytime I go to the hairdressers this happens which is why I NEVER go to the hairdressers.
