    Default Ladies hairdresser

    Hi, Where can I find a ladies hairdresser, preverable an aussie one.
    I have tried for 4x to get a perm and again I look like a plucked chicken.
    I do not know what they study at the hairdressing collage in Indonesian, they do not know much about a perming hair.
    Please I do need help,

    Hi

    I can't recommend a hairdresser in Bali as I don't live there, but I believe the reason why you haven't had any luck with your perms is because Indonesian trained hairdressers don't know how to properly handle caucasian hair.

    Find out if there's any international names there and ring them to see if any of them has been trained to handle caucasian hair. Good luck!

    Jogry,
    Irma is right, caucasian hair has a very different texture and requires someone who knows how to handle it.

    I know it's probably a bit far for you from Singaraja, but I've frequented a salon in Legian called "Celebes" in Jalan Padma Utara. It's just around the corner from Jalan Padma.

    I'd recommend Poppy or Olah, as they're both used to dealing with bule hair. Olah permanently straightened my friend's hair last September and she's over the moon with the result.

    Their number is 0361 756 420.
    Madness takes its toll. Please have exact change.

    Last Thursday I went to the hairdresser "Celebes" as suggested, to my great disappointment they were closed for lunch. I could not wait as I had to return to Dencarick. Must try another time.
    Thanks again for forwarding the address

    Didnt think this thread would be worth reading, but how wrong can you be eh. I think the following quote has made me think twice about going for a haircut and not a skinhead or shaved all over look ;

    "Irma is right, caucasian hair has a very different texture and requires someone who knows how to handle it."

    Yes i thinks me will check carefully if indeed the hairdresser can indeed 'handle it'

    Thanks

    thats great news, especially for me. i have unruly hair so i had a thermal straightening done here in LA & it costed me a fortune. however, the results were spectacular. even in the extreme humidity in ubud, my hair still behaved. how much did ur friend pay?

    I also have really unruly hair, made even worse by the humidity when I am in Bali. I had the chemical straightening done at Celebes in July, and it is still looking great. They also give fantastic cuts, and they will be my first stop when I am back in December!
