Reasonable hairdressers in the area?

rishtongirl · 17-08-2011, 14:46

Does anyone know of any reasonably priced hairdressers in the area? I just want a fairly simple straightforward cut, as my hair is overly long. I am not looking for anything elaborate, just a good quality haircut. I live in Rishton, but would happily travel to Blackburn, Accrington, Great Harwood, Altham, etc. I don't really want to pay more than £10-15; less if possible, but no more.

I can recommend Adams Barbers in Ossy. He is opposite the War Memorial on Union Road.

If its girly hair cutting you want then I am told the lady in the girly side of the building is very good as well.

Ol' Mossies from Rishton, I'd advise against using his barber having seen the kip of is 'ead !

The hairstylist at the Beauty Sanctuary on Whalley Road (accrington) at the top of the bus station (above the East Lancs Hospice shop) is very good and they do some great special offers too.

Thank you Sparkie. It's nice to see this question finally being answered in the same spirit as it was asked. I haven't heard of the hairdressers you mention, but sometimes the smaller independent salons do a better job in a more friendly way than some of the larger places. This is the kind of thing I was looking for.

I have my hair cut at Overheads in Great Harwood, last time it cost me £12 for a cut and blow done by Debbie there, if you do go there say Lesley recommended her

Thanks Harwood Red. Do I need to ring for an appointment, or do I just turn up? I'm going away next week to visit the in-laws, and would like it sorted before I go, if possible.

How about trying a mobile hairdresser? Mine charges £10 for a cut and blow dry, if you want her number pm me and I'll send you here telephone number

Try ringing them (number removed and pm'd to her - Neil), I am sure they could fit you in. May not be with Debbie but that is just who I see. Double check the price when you ring too as I do have to go with my hair already wet as I can't lean over their sinks due to a neck problem so they may well give me a slight discount lol

Thanks for the tip! I will ring them tomorrow and tell them Lesley recommended that I should go. Maybe you'll get a discount next time you go in!

I walk with a stick due to mobility problems, but I can lean over a sink OK. I will double check the price, as funds are limited. That's true of most people today, we don't have money to chuck around. I will drop by here afterwards and let you know what happens. My hair is long at the moment, but I want it shortening - maybe into a bob, but I haven't decided on the specifics as yet. Thanks again, I appreciate the advice very much.

Thanks Bernadette, but I live in a first floor flat and it is a small space to put hairdressing stuff.

I live in a first floor flat as well, as do quite a lot of her customers. You would be surprised at how much stuff these mobile hairdressers carry round.

Worth a try in my opinion but up to you at the end of the day. When I moved here I was paying over forty pounds for a colour, wash and blow dry. Now I get the same treatment for half the price and can afford to treat myself more often

i go to plus 2 in accy, i havent been for a while, but the prices are ok. why dont you ask if they have any trainees? theyre overseen by a qualified, and are a lot cheaper, and a dry cut is also a cheaper option

Thanks for the recommendation, Bernie, I am well pleased with the lady you use, and will use her again.
