Is my african hair salon ripping me off (im not black)?

i didnt know such things existed! i'd love to find one! seems ideal. im from essex, but i often am in london. can you recommend a good one?

what is the name for a mixed salon? so i can google for a local one

you do?

certainly black dudes go in the western hair salon, and black girls with silky or curly hair go there too, like regis etc. but nver do any whites go in the african salon

yea i know it should cost more, but one place is charging me £40 the next is charging me £80 for the same thing, i think im being ripped off bu the £80 dudes because im not black and they think i wont know.

do you have any idea how much 3 weave tracks on silky hair should cost?

can i learn to do it myself? do africans ever do their own weaves?

and why are african hair salons so oppressive toward non-black people? im latina, and my ex was part albino nigerian (blond yaki hair, green eyes and light skin) and he walked into an african hair salon, everyone stopped and stared at him until he started talking in their language.

you often see black dudes and gals in western hir salons, but never the other way round. why?

certainly black dudes go in the western hair salon, and black girls with silky or curly hair go there too, like regis etc. but nver do any whites go in the african salon

Has it not occurred to you that different salons do charge different prices for the same thing?

thats not true. I do not know ONE black guy who has ever gone to a western barbers for a hair cut. Even people I know who go to uni in predominately white areas of the country travel to get their hair cut at black barbers. I actually see a lot of white guys come into my barbers for trims and they are never opressed

yeaaahh they do!
My old one is called Dynamics hair salon- 301 Caledonian Road, London N1 DT020 7700 2244
quite decent on pricing for things like weaves/ tracks plus i dont think they charge more for hair type

though if you google search afro european hair salon in X (being the place you lwant) there are plenty around!

*rep* thanks hun youre a star, i will defo check it out

I think that they are ripping you off for 3 tracks.
Do you have any black friends that can do it for you?
I know people who get their whole hair done for £60 so £45 for 3 tracks is just silly

Well salon in general rips people off if you're black or not
i never go them .
Tbh the reason the cost of your weave is higher is because of the texture of your hair.
Its harder to hold and plait so that the weave can stay in longer hence the higher cost .

i walked into a black hairdressing shop once, didn't realise it was for african hair until i saw the products. i looked up and everyone was staring at me, so i got embarrassed and walked out...

you see, if a black person walked into a white hair salon, that probably wouldnt happen. they might not be able to help them, but the whole salon wouldn just stop and stare like the black hair salons do. why the racism to white epopel
