Good Hair Salon and Stylist for Women's Cut and Color

Lulu. 376-766-0937 for appointment.

I highly recommend Dana Douin.  He's done my color-and-cut for as long as he's been Lakeside, which I think is eight years.  He's in Ajijic, has a salon (for one client at a time) in his home, and given that he's from Maine (by way of Las Vegas) his English is excellent.  He's a terrific artist too.
Dana Douin's home phone:  ‭(376) 766-2953.

I don't colour my hair. It's white, 'nuff said. But I normally would get my hair cut, once at month, at Christine's Salon in the Laguna Mall.
That salon is small with a LOT of people in it and is one of the reasons my hair hasn't been cut since February.
Currently sporting a small messy bun and, damn, had to order white bobby pins from Amazon. Occasionally, I trim my bangs... and, damn, I had to buy scissors for that.
Thinking of shaving my head and wearing a wig.

I'm with Ferret. I just let it grow and either clip back and hang on down or put in a bun. Salons are too risky these days. Something to be said for wigs!!

I'm terrified of hairdressers. That's because I've only met two in my life who understood how to cut the kind of hair I have and the kind of style I like (messy bed-head). All the rest did things that made me go home and cry. One of the worst was when I ended up with the dreaded Farrah Fawcett do. So I've gotten pretty good at chopping away at it myself, which means COVID hasn't changed that routine.

And after dying my hair for about 18 years, I finally decided to let it go natural a couple years ago and man, was that ever a good decision and an every three-week chore off my plate. I had just assumed that it was boring grey that would make me look about 15 years older, because that's what the growing-out roots looked like to me when I was dying it, but when I finally decided to stop, it turned out to be a pretty nice silver like my grandma's and still has some dark brown hairs mixed in. And it's way softer and healthier looking since I stopped putting all that dye in. Hard to believe now that I rubbed those chemicals into my scalp all those years.

Well said re the chemicals. The first and last visit I made to a hair dresser was as a teen getting prepared for a prom. My long, thick ponytail ended as a "poodle cut". I wept. My mom and my date just looked horrified. Been salon-free since.

The growing out part is kind of hilarious and 2020 would be a perfect year to do it.
At one point in time, I looked like a skunk then like my tri-coloured Yorkie. Did it about 30 years ago when the dye job took four hours of chemicals to get the white hair to accept the colour. WTF? Starting getting white hairs when I was 18. It's me. Let 'er be.

I have several friends who've had white hair since I met them, and they all look great! They are also people with true self confidence. The fact is that Western society is largely ageist, and women are encouraged to look as young as possible. Thus, the popularity of plastic surgeons and dye jobs. However, both are usually very obvious to the observer.
...and yes, some of us are way off the subject at this point! Mea culpa!

It will always be a personal choice. My opinion on my white hair? I earned every single one of 'em.

Just got back from Dario. he wears a mask and so does hs assistant. was alone 50% of the time and nanother woman came.. we all had asks and were sitting away from each other.I felt safe.
