Salut everyone!

Please, can someone tell me where I can go to get hair done in Geneva? Are there any stylists who do african/black hair? I did a search and couldn't find the info I needed for the Geneva area. When I say "do african hair", I'm referring to a variety of options so even if they do only one of the styles I'm about to mention, please feel free to tell me about them anyway.

By varieties, I mean any salons/stylists that can straighten black hair (either through relaxing the hair or through using a straigtening comb) or do braids (all kinds, from cornrows to micros to twists, etc...).

Now, I also understand that the names for the styles differ, depending on the region so if there's any confusion as to the terms I use, let me know and I can send pictures of what I mean.

Anyway, all of that was just simply to ask, "Peeps (people), where can a girl get her hair done"?

Thanks!
Angel

Here's three to be going on with,

Black Style
Rue de la Servette 1 (behind the station)
022 731 00 40

Black or White
Rue Ancienne 49
Carouge
022 301 10 20

Black Beauty Cosmetics
Rue de Monthoux 52 (also in the station area)
022731 00 40

The first one is a "Traditional" stylist judging by the window display, the second is quite trendy. I don't think I've seen the third, but it sounds promising.

There must be others listed in the "Coiffure, salons de" section of the Yellow Pages under fancier names if you take the time to look!

I don't know what you exactly mean, but there are quite a lot of salons that do braids, for example this one: http://www.welcome-geneva.ch/afro-sh...ing-latino.htm

Thanks very much. These will do nicely. I'll give them a try.

Same question for canton Bern please?

Can anyone recommend a professional hairdresser for black Carribbean / African textured hair

many thanks in advance

Hi,

I'm a newby and came to Switzerland a month ago. We live in Nyon.
Sache, I was wondering which hair salon you ended up using? I desperately need to get my hair done. A recommendation would be very much appreciated.

Thanks

Hi any info on the same for Vevey, Montreux or Laussane.

Thanks!!

Your best bet for Lausanne is to go to one of the African shops (close to the city centre) and ask. I have had to be quite self-sufficient when it comes to my hair, as some pokey little salon in Zurich informed me that the price of braids and weaves STARTED FROM CHF 1000! I laughed and walked out.

CHF 1000!! scary! That means when i move to Bern, i will need to do my own hair?Maybe i should travel with my own relaxer from South Africa?By the way, im bi-racial and i use relaxers on my hair...

Bring as much as you can. Alternatively, you can do what I do, go to back London and load up on supplies!

there's a place called baby nails on rue de la pontaise in lausanne just up from la riponne. they are pretty busy so they may be good.
