Getting your hair done in Bristol as an African woman is either cheap and risky or expensive and fine. I've had bad experiences at three salons. Looking for recommendations for braiding, loc maintenance, and natural hair styling — not a tenner above London prices.

Blessing from Liverpool. We have a brilliant Ghanaian-owned salon in Wavertree that does everything beautifully and reasonably. Wish Bristol had a similar directory so people could find trusted options.

Akosua from Edinburgh — designer, not a hairdresser! But I know how important this is. The closest decent African-specialist salon to me is actually in Glasgow. The gap in smaller cities is very real.
