I moved to Bacelona (today actually) from the States and will be here for 3 years. I am in bad need of a hair salon in Barcelona. I saw the post Crystal put up and have sent an email to that salon, but I wondered if anyone else had another salon I could possibly visit. My hair is not natural and it is time for a relaxer... big time!! Any help would be great! hi ladies! i love this blog and all the team work that is going on… I moved to Bacelona (today actually) from the States and will be here for 3 years.

I read a comment by skye about doing study abroad in Chile. I am a woman of color American married to a Chilean and am having a challenge with the Hair thing as well. I have a cosmetology license and have my husband help me with my hair but the problem is getting products or purchasing products here. THere is no real need for them here. I brought some Affirm relaxer (tub of it) with me and I think with the temp, climate, airplane or whatever, it has weakened in strength. Do you know how I could products shipped here from like Brasil or any other info on Salons would be great! Gracias, Saludos! HI!

UNFORTUNATELY, I have NO idea where in Turkey you can go to get microbraids touched up. Anyone out there got suggestions on what nearby town or city she can go to? (Since Incirlik U.S. Air Force Base is fairly close to the city of Adana -- and it's likely there are African-American women on the base -- you might want to try contacting someone THERE to see who can refer you to a stylist. I'm just guessing someone on the base probably does hair or knows someone who does!) GOOD LUCK! Maureen Hello there, Janet –

Wed, 16 Mar 2011 06:02:52 +0000 http://urbantravelgirl.com/?p=458#comment-2943 Hello, I love this blog entry!My name is Leila N. and I am starting a company that will target the beauty needs of women of color living/working in Europe and abroad. Having lived in Barcelona for some time and traveling to Paris often, I experienced first-hand the urge to fly back home the the States just to get my precious bottle of Mizani shampoo or conditioner ! I simply couldn't find enough good/high quality products to continue my haircare regimen...and reality was that I couldn't afford to fly home for shampoo or pay $40 in shipping fees for 1 bottle of anything. We at Isabis look forward to hearing and listening to your questions/concerns/frustrations as they relate to black hair care in Europe through our forum (website coming soon) so that we can give you access to affordable,quality products online.

Actually, I do NOT recall the name of either place, but I tell you what: if you go to the front entrance of the NICE VILLE train station (the main one in town) and turn left, you'll come to an Internet cafe' right near the corner of that main street, which is Avenue Jean Medicin. Go into the Internet cafe' and ask the Arab man who owns it to direct you to the nearby African hair salon. That's how I found it! (The salon is on a nearby street that runs PARALLEL to Jean Medicin... and once you find IT, the hair care shop isn't far away.) Sorry these aren't precise directions, but I can clearly see all these places in my mind! As I said in my post, you'll find plenty of black folks near the train station... if the helpful guy isn't in the Internet cafe', ask one of them! Be careful and BONNE CHANCE! Maureen HI there, KG!
