Easy to find, you'd think, but I haven't had much luck. I've taken my 2 girls, who have fairly classic mixed-race hair, to all the local hairdressers, both Afro and European (including several on Acre Lane), and they trim it ok but always leave the poor things looking awful so it's not a great experience for them.
I'm not interested in paying loads extra for braids etc. One Afro hairdresser tried to blowdry DD1's long, corkscrew hair straight and she looked like the 'before' picture in the Frizz Ease ads; another fluffed DD2's shoulder-length, tightly-curled hair into an Afro which she hated, but didn't seem to know how to define the curls. The European hairdressers, unsurprisingly, are no better.
I used to have a lovely lady recommended by MarsLady who came to our flat in North London, so I've been spoilt; I know realise it's more of a specialist skill than I thought.
Any top recommendations?
