Does anyone know any hair dressers who can do African Hair? I have tried a number of hair dressers in Hong Kong but they all tell me they do not do this type of hair.

I believe Rennie at The Hairdressers can do African hair. She's really nice and did a good job with my hair.
Please support our advertisers:
By African are you talking about natural or relaxed hair? If relaxed a friend of mine goes to Hipfish in Central.
Please support our advertisers:
Thank you for the information. My hair is relaxed. Where are these two (Hipfish and Hairdressers) located exactly?
Please support our advertisers:
Hi Kaycee...the Hairdressers is on 46-48 Wyndham Street 1/F, Winning Center and Hipfish is on Elgin Street in Soho. I haven't been to either but I sometimes go to Debbie at Hair Studio in Stanley Plaza 2813 7808. Are you new to HK?

Hi, I have natural Afro hair which is currently in braids. I was just wondering if any of the places you mentioned do braids. I'm curious - are they local hairdressers or Black hairdressers living in HK?

I don't know but I doubt it. I wish there was a black hairdresser in HK and I know about a dozen other ladies who wish the same. I did see a few African ladies with braids once when I dared to venture into Chung King mansion.

Hi
J's Aunt. Yes I am new to Hong Kong. Thanks for the info.
Does anyone know if there is any place where I can buy a relaxer kit for African Hair or do the suggested hairdressers stock this as well?
Please support our advertisers:
Sorry. This is still Kaycee. Used Hubby's id by accident.
Please support our advertisers:
No where stocks it. My sisters send me mine from the States. I have a few friends that bring stuff like that back from the states whenever they go to visit and then we meet up to raid it. Welcome to HK and if you're interested in meeting some other ladies just send me a message and we'll exchange numbers.

Hi Ed,
Did you post that link because The Hairdressers do braids or just cos they cater for African hair? Sent them an email but haven't heard anything.

I am told that there is a salon at Mirador House owned by a couple from Ghana that does braids and stocks a relaxer. I will try them

J's Aunt. Sorry just saw your message and I have replied.
The Hair Place is Mirador Mansions on Nathan Road and my friend who is African has confirmed that they do very good corn rows for about HK$300. However the only relaxer they have is Dark and Lovely.

Hi purecandy,
Count me in on meeting for coffee. Let me know when & where.
Kaycee....got your email. will talk to you this weekend.
Please support our advertisers:
There's a lady named Kathy from Cameroon that does braids. She lives in Kowloon. She also does weaves.
Have you guys met up for coffee yet? I'd love to join you. We used to have a group of ladies years ago that met up once a month to catch up and socialize, but most of the ladies have moved away now.
Send me a message if you all want to hook up.
Please support our advertisers:
Hi Foodie, do you have a number for Kathy?
Please support our advertisers:
Went to the Mirador Mansions. Not your usual hair salon. I did not go to do the braids I went to see the quality of braids. I found them doing someone's hair and the corn rows were very very neat. They were doing those corn rows that are small at the begining and widen out as they go. These cost about HKD300 minus the extensions which will cost 80 apiece.
They also do braids of varying sizes (You have to ask for 'rastas' if you want these).Pricing depends on the size.
They stock some relaxes (Creme of Nature, Dark and Lovely, TCB and a few others). They did not have a wide range of relaxers for us with the more sensitive hair, but I will keep them in the back of my mind for when I am desperate for a retouch.
If you want to braid your hair, they are definately worth looking up as they will do a good job. However, I must warn that if you are very particular about the environment in which you do your hair, then you may want to try someplace else. The girls were friendly and helpful. They were doing a young girl's hair and I noticed that she seemed quite comfortable. No tears from the pulling.
They also do the usual shampoo and styling.
Lady N, thanks for the info on products. Will go to Temple Street. I have been looking everywhere for a Hairfood.
J's aunt, I have sent you a message.
Please support our advertisers:
Candy, I'll look up Kathy's number and send a message to your AX Control Panel. BTW, she comes to my house to do my hair.
Please support our advertisers:
Hi Kaycee,
Haven't received your message. Are we all going to meet up for coffee or what? :0)
Please support our advertisers:
Candy. Haven't found Cathy's number yet, but I do have it - it's in one of the boxes I moved to my office so I'll look for it this weekend.
J's aunt - everyone can meet at my place for a coffee or a drink. let's fix a date and time and do it!

I've been reading through this whole thread. Are you ladies still meeting monthly? I chopped off all my relaxer, but still need to keep my ends trimmed... and heck, reall just want the company of some Black women once is awhile. I'm here until July 2007. Please update me on new hairdressers still around and DEFINITELY hit me up about the monthly meeting or grabbing coffee or hitting a great dance club!
