    Is that the one underneath the Dragon Hotel? I only heard of one person who had their hair cut there, ages ago, but they didn't like it!!! And I always see Brian outside there on his mobile phone swearing more than anyone else I've heard in all my life (and that's saying something!!!).

    Yes it looks like we made it to the end
  • I'm sorry but I have to disagree abot Enzos.

    I have had a hair cut in there by Enzo himself that can only be likened to Edward Scissorhand. Wonky parting, uneven hair length. It was so bad I came home and cried for half and hour and I don't even cry watching slushy films.

    I can definitely recommend Hair By Martin in Gowerton.

    He does very bog standard no fussy hair cuts, I've seen him retrieve someones really badly dyed hair, he retrieved mine after Enzo wrecked it, he has cut my OH';s and a good indication is a lot of older ladies go there regularly.

    I have had a colour, cut and blow dry for £25 with fab results.

    Am so pleased have asked him to do my hair for my wedding.

    Went to "Talking Heads" in the bottom Picton Arcade (leading to the Grand Theatre) today - flipping expensive but very happy with the results (cut and colour). Gwen cut my hair and she's lovely and did a really good job. The other hairdressers working there were a touch scary-looking, although should I win the lottery I will pay the girl who washed my hair to come and work for me as my personal hair-washerer ever day as it was the best hair-wash I've ever had.

    Also, it seems the Mark Jermin salon underneath the Dragon Hotel is now the Brian Brown Salon - I hope he's curbed his swearing now his name's above the door!!!!

    I second the recommendation for The Hair Shop at the end of the Kingsway. Excellent cuts, friendly and relaxed staff, and not afraid to give you a bit of advice when you ask for it.
    Am not witty enough to put something cool and informative here:o :o
  • Hello peeps,

    My girlfriend's a mobile hairdresser, and reasonably priced, she does Llanelli/Carmarthen area if anyone is interested.

    She used to lecture hair in Graig CCTA and Pembrokeshire college, has L'Oreal colour qualifications, 14 years of hair dressing experience, very approachable, sympathetic and reliable.

    Has also revived hair that's been badly damaged, colour correction etc..

    and even taught me to cut hair too!

    if you guys are interested, get your hair done in jan/feb and get 10% off if you mention you got it off this site :)

    just let me know..
    ed.

    ps: if you want a price list, let me know :)
  • Hilary or Gemma at the U salon in Parcgwernfadog will help you out. Hilary cuts my hair & always does exactly what I want. She also had a go at chemically straightening my hair when I asked her to get the stuff in & took an instruction sheet with me. She followed it to the letter & I now have lovely, straight & , most importantly, undamaged hair. From what I gather, having a hairdresser follow instructions is rare so she's a great find & she's not afraid to cut dry, too (a must if you have curly hair like I had).

    The salon may be listed under Headjunkie (recently had a name change) & is close to Morriston hospital There's a sister salon in Morriston itself but I avoid that as the parking's a nightmare. Check it out on Yell.com & it should give map directions (it's not far from the Deer's Leap pub if you know it). There's free parking outside, too, which makes it a lot easier than going into town.
