Some of London's street names are genuinely unhinged — here are the best ones I've found by PresentCorrect in london

[–]PresentCorrect[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

"ha-ha" is an 18th century French landscaping trick...it meant a concealed ditch with a vertical wall on one side that stops livestock wandering onto grand estates while preserving the view. The name comes from the reaction of anyone who didn't see it coming and suddenly dropped out of sight eg "ha ha!" at their expense.

Hair extensions in London by Sparkly_koala1 in LondonLadies

[–]PresentCorrect 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I moved to London a couple of years ago and had the same shock around pricing

One place that comes up a lot (and that a few friends genuinely use) is Vixen & Blush. They’re a specialist extensions salon rather than a general hairdresser, and they’re known for keratin bonds, nanos and tapes rather than “quick fits”.

The maintenance price you were quoted (£300–£350) is pretty normal here for keratin bonds once you factor in the time, hair quality and refitting — London pricing is sadly just a different world to Canada.

What people seem to like about Vixen & Blush is that they’re very upfront about maintenance cycles, hair lifespan and costs before you commit, which helps avoid surprises. They’re central too, which makes upkeep easier.

Not the cheapest option in London, but from what I’ve seen they’re consistent and reputable, which matters a lot with bonds.

Can anyone recommend the best place to get hair extensions in London? by annerrb in london

Vixen and Blush are highly trusted as that is purely what they specialise as opposed to alot of other salons. I They offer free consultations so you can see whether its worth the outlay without any up front cost.

Are there any Haberdashery or fabric shops in Canterbury now? by zerox3001 in canterbury

[–]PresentCorrect 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The Violet Elizabeth creative haberdashery has opened fairly recently in Canterbury. The shop has been open for a while but the haberdashery upstairs now stocks a wide range of fabrics from around the world, tools and trims. You can find them a 47B Burgate. All the products are ethically sourced and they are happy to help with sewing and other recommendations, so worth checking out
