im going to a big family wedding on saturday, and really need to do something about my mane.

i have very thick, wavy hair which i want washed, blowdryed, cut and straightened. the woman i used to go to was fab, but she's unavailable as she's on maternity leave at the mo.

i never used to pay more than £30, so would like to stay as close to that as possible. can anyone recommend a salon or traveling hairdresser which can turn my mop into something respectable?

    Hair by Bridgette are a small hairdressers at the top of MacIntosh Place who do a great job and are inexpensive. Highly recommended.

    I always have my hair done by Gentleman Jim's just by the Paget rooms in Penarth. I've got thick wavy hair too and they can always make me look nice whther I want it up or down. Also it's nice and cheap! Ask for Helen for down hair and Cherie for up do's, they're fab!

    I just read your post again - they'll charge no more than £22 for what you want :)

    cheers all - better late than never :p:D

    i decided to push the boat out and treat myself to a chop at toni and guy, went for a middle of the range stylist, and it only cost £10 more than i would normally pay.

    will bear your suggestions in mind for next time i need a trim :beer:

    @sali - long time no see, hope you're well. sue at cut and styled also coped very well with my wavy hair, but she's off on maternity leave at the mo. i never knew gentleman jim did ladies too, will bear that in mind :)

    Hello pavlov :hello: My internet was down for ages so I couldn't post :rolleyes: Yes they do waxing and manicures and make up and everything! The name is slightly misleading... :rotfl:
