A couple of weeks back I put out a tweet saying I was looking for a good hairdresser to do a weave. After having a nightmarish experience with another London based salon, I was apprehensive but desperately in need of someone good to use.
@lovetweets came back to me straight away, sending me the details of someone she uses, who happened to be to be near to me.
I went yesterday to get my hair done and I am so happy with the result AND the hairdresser. The lady was so nice and professional. I never tend to talk with hairdressers but I found myself easily relating with her and she was excellent in her skill. She didn't bring out the dreaded Lusters Pink Oil Lotion {always a sign of a dodgy salon} or force unnecessary products on me {also a sign of a 'questionable' salon}. And as she was finishing up she gave me real practical tips on how to take care of my hair. It so good when you meet a service provider that actually cares!
I often use Facebook as well to get advice on places to go, where to find things etc and that works quite well as well. I saved myself a journey to a not so great Suya joint thanks to Facebook! I also met some really great people offline, that I first met online, great ladies who have become good friends.
Yay for internet community!
