WHY OH WHYEEEE CAN'T I FIND A DECENT HAIRDRESSER IN NORTHAMPTON!

[grumpyhairbear]

I live in Northampton and I just cannot find a hairdresser who 'gets' my hair (which is long, stupidly frizzy and curlyish)

I want it blowdried straight or styled into soft waves but since my regular hairdresser moved away (SOB) I just cannot find a decent hairdresser who will take the time and put in the effort to do my hair!

I am desparate! Pleaseeeeeeeeee

Does anyone know a good, passionate hairdresser in Northampton who can turn my frizzy mop into a wonderful straight, sleek curtain of loveliness?

I HATE MY STUPID HAIR! AND THE CRAP HAIRDRESSERS I ALWAYS SEEM TO FIND!!!!!!!!!!!

Have you heard of the brazillian blow dry?
Perhaps ask for that next time at the hairdressers - supposed to have amazing results for frizzy hair.

I really really don't i haven't managed to find one in northants yet
I go to olney to get mine cut theres a fab one there. Can grab you the no and address if you like. I know it's outside town but not too far down A428 x

What's that? I have quite mad hair too like the op - how can I find out about Brazilian blowdrys?! It's not like a Brazilian wax is it?! (lol)

Lol no! You won't need to blow-dry anything if you have a Brazilian wax! Google Brazilian blow dry. My friend had it done with amazing results.

Know the feeling, it can't be too much to ask, a hairdresser that knows how to cut frizzy curly hair.

When you find one can you send her up to me, she doesn't have to know how to straighten it, just cut it.

Where are you slightly mad?

I am near you and gave up. My next door neighbour does mine - I'll ask if she can fit you in!

Lancashire.

Just had my hair cut, wanted 2" taken off and the layers keeping in, oh and blend my fringe back in as well, nothing complicated I thought, how wrong I was, 4" has gone, the layers have vanished and I had to recut my fringe when I got home. I now have a pyramid on my head, not a good look

Can I have those details too catneo?!

Poor you slightlymad! Maybe the pyramid look will take off?!

I used to go to a place in Thrapston that was good, on the high street near the butcher. But it might be too far away.

ooo thats pretty close to me :D i might take a look next time i'm exploring over that way

Awww thanks ladies! Can those of you with recommendations pm me details?

Catnao and aimmeesmum etc?

Thanks again

All I want is someone who will take a bit of time and care!

Have you tried BaaBaa? The owner Christian is apparently pretty amazing.

Have you ever been there checkered? I will check it out, thank you

Where is it again? Have they moved? Problem is lots of these owners of salons are usually really expensive too eh?

There is also a Toni and Guy in Kettering which I might try at some point if I am feeling adventurous.

Let's try that again.

House of Cheveux

A lady at work recommended Reflexions, down that arcade that goes up from St Giles Street. She's short and sleek rather than madly curly, but her hair does look lovely.

House of Cheveux...

Sound like some dodgy knocking shop! -

I'm trying to remember the name of the road where I went when I lived there. I think it may be the same one Lucretia mentioned. It's the little arcade before the walkthrough to Argos on the way up the hill. I think, anyway!

i live in northampton but go down to hertfordshire to get my cut.

Try Christian Wiles at the corner of St Edmunds Road and Welly Rd. He is amazing and not massively expensive either!

This is THRAPSTON we are talking about. THRAPSTON. No hanky panky there whatsoever!

I escaped from Northampton 5 years ago.

Do you go to him candy? Is he part of baa baa's?
