Hairdressers specialising in Blonde?

Hello,

I know there was a recent ‘hairdressers’ post but I am hoping people might have a recommendation for a hairdresser that specialises in blonde?

My wonderful hairdresser moved to Melbourne and I tried a new place over the weekend that I am less than impressed with – I have a lovely stripe across my head from a foil ‘bleeding’ and some attrative orange roots where the colour obviously wasn’t left on long enough.

I didn’t notice these problems until I got home.

To the salon’s credit, I called this morning and they have offered to fix the problem but I think my search continues for a salon that can do a non-brassy shade of blonde.

All recommendations (or places to avoid) are much appreciated!

Obviously, not the greatest problem in the world to have but I’m reluctant to embrace my natural mousy colour 🙂

Been going to Simone at Sculpture in Kippax for years, found her by asking someone with nicest pale blonde bob I’ve ever seen. About half what I would pay in the city too. Always a top-end result 🙂

La Scribble (a long time blondie) informs me that Maree, the colourist at Bond in Green Square, is a dab hand at this caper.

Personally, I have no need of tonsorial services – some years ago I got all proactive and encouraged my hair(s) to fall out, rather than just laze about waiting to be cut.

Who says blondes are dumb?
A quick call to ‘Raving Hair Studio’ in Kambah will have your locks a magnificent blonde in no time. No kidneys involved either. Phone Karen on 0411245399.

But it will cost you a kidney and maybe your right arm. And I’m used to paying exuberant prices!

Vanity Fayre in Manuka colour really well.

Mrs. Avy swears by Axis.

Breathtaking

Amanda Johnstone at Frangapani in Tuggeranong Hyperdome is the best hairdresser I have ever used. I’ve been seeing her for years and she has taken me from blonde to brunette and back again.

Thanks! I might give ‘next’ a call. Paying $170 is a lot of money for hair that you aren’t happy with – especially when my old hairdresser was cheaper.

‘next’, in braddon used to do blondes fabulously as they always did well in the ‘colour’ section of hair comps… ‘axis’ is also a fab salon and i would recommend their cuts, and probably also their colour (incl blondes).

good luck…
