Any recommendations for a hairdresser for very thick, blonde hair?
My last experience with a local hairdresser has put me off for life as they tried to thin it and my hair is only just recovering. Not only that, but it took 5 of them to try blow dry it as they couldn't cope with the amount of hair!
Thanks in advance

Yeah, local hairdressers are notorious for a special thinning out technique that I'm sure works great on Asian course hair but not only any other hair!
Western hairdressers include Paul Gerrard

Or try Antoinette at The Colour Bar, 2525 4228 (Eubank Plaza in Central).
Good luck...

Its a common problem here in Asia, not just HK. Over the last couple of years it has become a bit of a trend again to razor, texture or thin hair out excessively to try to reduce thickness or weight but in most cases its just wrong. This usually leaves the cuticle split which in turn increases the frizzy look (specially with the humidity). The thinning technique can be good on the right hair but its a real minority.
The other thing to be aware of is the terminology used when having your consultation. Often a client will say they want their hair thinned out as being too thick so a less experienced stylist can automatically create a picture of razoring or texturizing to get the results. Its important to clarify with your stylist so they understand what your requirements really are. Of course some sense on part of the stylist is also important.
Anyways I hope this may help a little and your manage to get better results with your next try.

Oliver Brechts in Pui O is great with womens hair! He does call out to anywhere, or uses a salon in Central. His number is 56325281

Totally can recommend Oliver, Im super busy at work, constantly between China and HK, so have little time to sit for hours in HK salons, which I did few times and paid around 4k for what im doing (highlights+ Brazilian blowout+ cut). Oliver does it for half a price, always comes over to my place (and I live on Lamma), adjusts to my schedule and replies quickly- I always message him on WhatsApp. Oliver is German, he knows how to deal with western and asian hair, and always tell me honestly if my idea for hairstyle will look crappy with my face or not.
His number is: 5632 5281
