A friend who lives in Champion Hill, has for years used henna to colour her hair and found a local hairdresser to do this for her. Unfortunately this hairdresser has retired so my friend is looking for an alternative colourist.


Friend is Canadian and has used henna for over 30 years as it does not cause any allergic reactions. She has mobility problems and needs to take mini cabs everywhere. She is not able to apply this herself and usually has her hair cut at the same time.


Anybody know of a reasonably local hair salon who would offer this service?

Does your friend know that you can get liquid henna? It is much easier to apply than the powder. You just apply it like a shampoo and comb it through.


It can be a bit messy, but not nearly as messy as the powder method (in my experience over decades 🤣)


Health Matters in Lordship Lane used to stock it, I don't know if they still do, also Baldwin's in the Walworth Road, or you can buy it online.


It comes in the same colours as the powder eg mahogany etc.


Here's just one place:

There are also other brands of liquid henna than that one.

    • thanks Jenijenjen and all - yes, i remember walking or taking the bus from the elephant (where i was working) to Camberwell to get there.  I think Tim - who's still at Franklin's -  was there in those days, and the woman who ran the cafe!  Other food places that i remember fondly are the ones in Neal's Yard (with the Hunkin sculpture that you could put a coin in ) and the basement lunch place at the Tottenham Court Road junction with Hanway Street... 
    • Did you try the emergency number posted above? It mentions lift breakdowns over the festive period outside the advertised  times. Hope you got it sorted x
    • People working in shops should not be "attempting to do the bill in their head." Nor if questioned should they be  trying to "get to an agreeable number." They should be actually (not trying to) getting to the correct number. I'm afraid in many cases it is clearly more than incorrect arithmetic. One New Year's Eve in a restaurant (not in East Dulwich but quite near it) two of us were charged for thirty poppadoms. We were quite merry when the bill came, but not so merry as to not notice something amiss. Unfortunately we have had similar things happen in a well established East Dulwich restaurant we no longer use. There is also a shop in East Dulwich which is open late at night. It used not to display prices on its goods (that may have changed). On querying the bill, we several times found a mistake had been made. Once we were charged twice for the same goods. There is a limit to how many times you can accept a "mistake".  There is also a limit to how many times you can accept the "friendly" sweet talking after it.
    • Adapted not forced.  As have numerous species around the world.  Sort of thing that Attenborough features.  Domestic dogs another good example - hung around communities for food and then we become the leader of the pack.  Not sure how long it will take foxes to domesticate, but some will be well on their way.    Raccoons also on the way https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c1j8j48e5z2o
