Reliable Hairdresser?

Symantro
By Symantro

Does anybody know a reliable hairdresser in Doha?
Someone, who LISTENS to the client's preferences?
I'm here for almost three months and had 3 disappointing experiences - eventhough expensive, and considering themselves high end...

My friends that live here all have had awful experiences with the "hairdressers" here. When I moved here, they all warned me that I would have to wait until I fly out of the country to have my hair done.

The GOOD news!! I found an EXCELLENT place! Go to Hillary and Pam at that new Glow salon! I'm telling everyone I know, because I want to see them stay here in doha (i'm very selfish, you see.)

Pam for color and Hillary for cuts.

Thanks for the hint! You know good hair style is so important, so money needs to be spent :o) but surely not 1000 riyals! Would feel guilty ...

Think twice, the barber at Ritz Carlton charges QR. 120 and in Landmark 80. But they are pros and stylists aswell.

It's always the small things that make big differences.

Try the hair dressers in landmark or Ritz Carlton. Or try Hollywood in Al Sadd, near royal plaza. Even cute cut at city center.

I'm surprised he didn't run me over as well...he doesn't pay that in a year to get his cut...lol...I think they charge more for blonde hair, as they are not used to it...who knows; I'm not going back, that's all I know!!

Think-Twice, best thing is to call them; don't think 100QR is enough for the 4 seasons.

Hello,

How about men? I keep my hai short so I need to have my hair trimmed every month. I see that you usually go to barbar shops in hotels like 4 seasons. How much does it cost, roughly, for a guy to have hair cut there? Is QR100 enough?

Thanks ...

Because I am an idiot, that's why. I had no idea how much it was going to cost and I didn't think it could possibly be that much. Oh, I've learn't my lesson!

I can't wait till have a chance to travel - that will be not earlier than next year. And as I wear quite a short cut hair style - I need trimming it every month. Now it looks terrible!!!

And yes, I've been in those, mentioned by Hummer - terrible.

The French one I haven't tried yet, not enough hair to be restyled... And heard it was quite expensive...?

Yeap, had the same experience, even at the 4 seasons and ritz...they all want to cut your hair short....all my friends have had the same thing happen...what's with that?? Forget it if you have blonde hair, as it always goes yellow after a few weeks. I suggest you wait to travel abroad like me, or hopefully some kind QLer knows of a excellent hairdresser in Doha!!
