Hairdressers

Autre fois (ie when I lived in England) I had looked forward to my regular visits to the hairdresser. I was grateful to have found a salon which did not put me in the "middle aged/ elderly lady" category and kept my "silver circle" at bay with natural looking colour treatments.  It was a worry when I came to live here, I well remember my first visit, The cutting was superb but no way was the hairdresser willing to do my hair colour to anything but the sunbleached almost blond I had arrived at the salon with ( sorry but I can't cope with the blond look as I look in the mirror and my mother looks back!). Eventually I found a compliant hairdresser in Villefranche who did a good job with the colour but was obsessed with how fine my hair was and cut it shorter and shorter, thinning it underneath with a razor until I felt I was in danger of balding. So another solution - back to the chore of colouring it myself and I've grown my hair! Trevor likes it ( I think long hair is a man thing) and my daughter described it as youngifying( she's always been good with words) and that was the clincher - so for now maybe the hairdresser will be the one and only thing I reserve for a trip to England (unless anyone knows any better)

Perhaps you could send Sue a link through to Anna the American hairdresser at St Antoinin whom you mentioned in September. Many people have stopped going back to the UK for their haircuts and colour unless they want to since they found her.
Anna Gauthe is also a very good english speaking hairdresser, contactable on 0601266684.
