City Hair & Beauty

Yet another wig and beauty shop in the city centre. These seem to be springing up all over the place lately.
I popped in to see if they had any ginger wigs, they never do; you’d think people would want to look like Joan Holloway, but no… Anyway, I had a browse around and came across some gorgeous coloured hair dyes by Adore for £2.99. They are similar to Crazy Color (£2.49) but the colours are much more vivid. I’ll definitely be popping in there soon to get some of those. As well as hair dyes they sell all the usual stuff, extensions, make-​up, oils, moisturisers, hair accessories. Seriously — all these shops are merging into one! The products and prices seem to be the same in each store.

I’m sure those that have already read some of my reviews, will know that I’m one for travelling to various Black hair & beauty shops and I don’t shy away from finding the best bargain i.e. finest wigs, hair extensions, make-​up that suits black skin. Now, Birmingham has an array of shops which cater for Black women’s hair & beauty so it’s always good to shop around.
This store on Dale End is right in the centre of town. It’s not as big, as some of the other hair shops like Beauty Queen etc, which means they don’t have as much choice as some of the other larger stores. What they do have though is a pretty decent selection of hair treatment products for saying it’s a smaller store. I tend to visit City Hair & Beauty to purchase hair products like; carrot care hair lotion, relaxer and colour kits and oil treatment kits which are great for treating damaged or over-​relaxed hair.
I find the staff a lot more friendly and less in your face than other shops similar to them. They tend to just ask if you need help and if you say you’re OK, they’ll let you get on with it. The good thing is they accept all major credit or debit cards and they provide you with a proper receipt; it sounds silly but some hair shops don’t provide you with an actual receipt, so it becomes difficult to take anything back
