After 18 months here time for finding a hairdresser !

Due to arriving as covid lockdowns started never got around to finding a local hairdresser , now looking for recommendations - currently looking for trim as self coloring at home.

Suggestions welcome as we know virtually no where in town !

Thanks

( For the Wife :-). )

Hi Ian,

I have been to an expensive hairdresser in Villena and despite their ability to speak English, to having participated in Courses and Stages in Italy, were a bit disappointing. First of all, even though I reminded them, they seem to forget that north Europeans generally have finer & more delicate hair than Mediterranean women. That means they burn hair with far too strong products. They also used colour products, that although well-known brands, disappear very quickly. My daughter and I lived in Sardinia so Mediterranean climate similar to Costa Blanca so there is no sun excuse, I’m afraid.

I am still looking for a decent hairdresser so please let me know how your wife got on there. 

Thanks, Ian,

Janice

If you don’t mind traveling, there is a Spanish English speaking hairdresser in Villena. Bambina 965808540. Ask for Joaquin.  Hope this helps 😎

Hi Janice,

Currently she colors her own now so hairdresser was primarily for cut , fairly easy. As I said she was pleased but it was a simple job - previously she always had color at her hairdresser in Mexico , they were incredibly talented and very reasonable !

I honestly could not say and I don't think Elisabeth would either as regards to suitability of this one regarding use of products . Limited English but communication not an issue and she was happy with cut and very pleasant people.

Good luck 

:-)

Thanks Anne, but that was the one I was complaining about! I live in the Villena campo.

Very nice people but actually burnt my hair by leaving a strong product for too long on my hair. Any colour they use seems to wash out in 1 wash as products are just not effective. I have always had  lowlights put in my naturally blonde hair with occasional lighter highlights. I finished up with yellow hair within 10 days! 

Same thing with my daughter. She eventually flew to Italy to get it done properly and much less expensively! 

I know it is difficult to change hairdresser for all of us, but I have done this regularly in my lifetime in different countries, so I’m not particularly fussy, I just need the hairdresser to be intelligent enough to recognise my hair type & act accordingly with good quality products. 

Keeping my fingers crossed

Janice

Hi That’s a shame you have had a bad experience with them. I’ve been using them for about 2 years now and never had a problem.

I think it depends on the type of hair you have, Anne.

A professional experienced hairdresser should recognise whether a client’s hair is fine, thick, porous, etc., without  having to tell them myself, although I did point it out !  Even though I shall shortly be 70, I wear my hair long. I have lost it twice during chemotherapy treatment and I certainly don’t want it ruined if it isn’t necessary, I’m sure you understand. 

The products/colours they use are not long-lasting either. Even though we returned to try and sort something out they were reluctant to try anything new which might have worked better. Their choice. 

My daughter’s hair is waist-length and well-looked after between hairdresser visits.  We don’t mind paying €120 a time if we get quality but even the cut wasn’t what we asked for and which was still visible from last hairdresser’s work (incidentally much cheaper and not a 5-hour appointment). 

So we are still looking 😂😂😂

Completely understand, hope you’re able to find someone 😎
