if you are also fed up with the price and quality of hair dressing and epilation services in brussels
let us help each other!
I am searcing for someone with whom we can exchange service  on eachother for free.
Maybe it is a dream, maybe it is doable.
If You are not up to it at least send me comments on how you keep yourself in order on a low budget here in Brussels.
Frankly I can not understand how can the coloration of long hair cost us from 80 to 180 euros.
My problem is:I can colour someone's hair, but I can not reach every angle of my own.I need a partner on this, the situation is the same  with waxing.
Let 's help each other on this!
Morover the service in saloons is not only expensive but the result is rarely is what  I have asked for..
(I wanted to go blonde  twice, once the results was  blue, once red...and when I complained they tried to convince me they did everything all right ,the blue colour wll go away after a few washes or the red is better for my face )
So i decided to buy materials for colouring(the costs are less than 10 euros this way-hennae -3 euros)
So I decided to take matters into my own hands.
Keep me informed on how you are dealing with beauty matters or have you experienced bad service as well:-))

I went to a hair dressers and they  charged me around 50 euros for a cut with student discount. Anyway i was very insulted when the woman told me I had lice eggs in my hair. I asked if she was sure as I have axema on my scalp and she insisted I did. However almost a year later still no lice.
