HAIR STYLIST very very very urgent.....

dragona

I need a haircut NOW.
Or maybe Friday if I make an appointment. My hair has been butchered by a cow of a woman and it needs to be sorted ASAP or else I will give in my notice at work as I cannot leave the house looking like this. I have thick wavy mid length hair which has now been "thinned out" by a hag but only one one side and I look as if I have sprouted wings on either side of my head.
It has been hacked. Am in the midlands but will travel to Dublin and money is no object at this point...... please help...........................need recommendation!!!!

ps I am a middle aged girl......

pl babe

hi jus wondering where abouts you are because im a hair dresser in waterford city

dragona

oh my gawd I am in Mullingar.......

Waterford..... I can travel 1 1/2 hours but not 4!Thanks anyway, if that was an offer! I am this close (--) to getting out the clippers and shaving it all off:(
I have to work tomorrow (with a hat on thank god we're not busy) and then I'm off till Monday so any more suggestions please!I cannot stress how urgent this is. You know how it is when your hair is WRONG. I am now officially hideous.
Anyone in Mullingar will know who I am - the one with the bad hair..............

Ahaha I know exactly how you feel.


Recently decided to get my long hair cut a bit, ended up with it an inch longer on one side than the other, and way shorter at the back, and generally uneven all around.

Eventually got a friend, handed her a scissors and said 'Start chopping'.


Is there a hairdresser you normally go to? Or you've heard people say they go to? If you're in Mullingar, from my vague recollection there are one or two good places in Athlone - isn't the Trevor someone or other college there?

Here's one tip - always look at the hairstyles of the people working there.

Great - try and recollect a bit better, I need NAMES!!!!!! All the gals working where I had it cut had long hair in a ponytail:mad:

Okay well, its been 10 years since I lived there, but the internet is your friend......


4 pages of them Here or more here

Peter Mark in the shopping centre in Athlone, they can normally do rescue jobs.....er....make sure you take a look at the place you choose first though, if its above a betting shop and has pictures of hairstyles from the 80's chances are they won't know what to do.

Silverfish you are so so helpful but I can't be doing with a random list of hair salons - I need to know where someone who has had their hair majorly buggered up can go and get it fixed, like in an actual place:D

Peter Mark is totally out of the question (bad experience) and so are obscure little private salons where old ladies go and everyone talks about what they ate for Sunday lunch. There is a Peter Mark here in Mullingar but noooooooo.....

She-Ra

I know you're freaking out but i think your going too far... i had the MOTHER of all bad hair cuts... its actually indescribable it was so bad. the first place to give me an appointment i went to... it was my mam's regular place (says it all) but lo and behold they worked a little miracle i came out of the place wanting to cry with happiness, i paid and tipped the woman 20 quid... bad hair over.
If your hair is that bad nowhere will make it worse so just get it done anywhere

NOT TRUE:D This has happened once before to me and a very bad haircut was made even more horrific resulting in me having to walk around with my eyebrows raised for three weeks as I was given a one inch long fringe So I do know the perils of walking into just any old where in desperation.

Anyways I now have an appointment in Dublin for tomorrow morning, so fingers crossed especially as it will be costing a small fortune but no price is too high.....

Hair grows!!

Done!
Went to Dublin, talked to Kevin, sat for an hour with conditioner or something on my head, and I am now delighted. Had to a have a bit more off than I wanted, but it looks good - I am not ashamed to leave the house now. Paid an awful lot of money but I have to say.....
....I'm worth it!!

I went to Sankeiv in Trinity St, am delighted with the cut but for sure can't go again at that sort of money.€75!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I also was in Sankeiv 4 weeks ago for a rescue haircut and paid 75 euro but that was for a conditioning treatment and a haircut. The haircut was only 57 which I thought was excellent as that's fairly average around Dublin but the result was way above average I'll definitely be back as they told me the treatment was only necessary once or twice a year and my haircut would be berween 57 and 65 euro, more than worth paying for peace of mind and a haircut like this plus the atmosphere makes you feel like you've known everyone for years

I had my Hair done in Sankeiv on Trinity Street in Dublin on saturday gone, i drove up from wexford for the day and tought i would treat myself to a blowdry for my dinner with family later that evening, firstly I was waiting 40 minutes to have my hair washed and was sitting in the basin room with water dripping all over me(no such thing as towels), then when I hear that the woman who is supposed to be doing my hair cant, i get an untrained blonde girl that had previously ''washed'' my hair but still has conditioner in it, started blowdrying and she noticed it was not right carried on anyway and finished it!! In the end i had to pay something like 35/40 euro for this and i ended up going somewhere else and getting it done again!!! She must love her job!!!
Anna....

liah

Are there any reasonable hairdressers in Mullingar? I'm desperately in need of mine being done but I've not got a lot to be spending on that, been keeping it myself for five months but now it's just too much...

Anna I have to say you should have complained and you definitely should'nt have paid for that!

When you book an appointment make sure to book Lizzie to do your hair, she is the only one who will do your hair exactly the way you want.
