Q: Good Afro Hairdressers in Guangzhou and toiletries?

HI
I'm moving to Guangzhou from UK beginning of March and the only thing I am worried about is my hair!!!

PLs someone recommend a good afro hairdressers who can relax and/or weave and any experience of these you can tell me would be great.

I really am in 2 minds on what to do with my hair before I go- whether I should leave my hair out hoping to find a hairdressers who can treat it, or weave it/ braid it up so that I can get it done again when I return for a short holiday back to the Uk in 3 months time.

Also can I buy black hair products out there. I've already bought about 3 months supply of absolutely everything i need just incase i find nought out there. But of course would be better to know I can purchase these out there so that I have more space in my suitcase!

I'll be working in Yuexiu district of Guangzhou.

Also how much is a bottle of shower gel and feminie hygiene products out there. Considering I can buy it here for £1 each, I've decided to stock up on these too Smile

Thanks all.

Sunshine,

You can get Afro Hairdressers in Guangzhou in Tianshu area, and buy really good weaves here but abit costly but worth the price.

I would recommend you braid your hair or do a weave before you get a good hairdresser. (could recommend a friend who does my hair)

The shower gel and the hygiene products are available here and depending on the brand you get for less than £1 each.

Hope this helps..

Hi Sunshine,

The best weaves are Peruvian or European weaves as they call then here and they are human. They sell in Kg's(Funny) but true and they would go for around 80usd for 3 pieces which would be good enough. 

I have never had my hair relaxed here but if i have info on this ill let you know.

Talk soon.

I haven't been to Guangzhou but most major Chinese cities have a college or two that heavily recruits African students which, of course, leads to the surrounding businesses stocking up on black hair-care products and stylists. In Wuxi, its Jin Nan University.

However that college, assuming there is one, will probably be somewhere out in the countryside. They usually are.

 I think you are wrong Mr. Mark i went to Shenzhen and i could not fond a stylist who has ever handled African hair leave alone to style it. My advice braid or weave just in case.

A:That is a typical Chinese style blackmail! I wouldn't worry for the WP application expiration at all!WP application doesn't expire. It is either approved or rejected and that is known fairly fast, 2-weeks time the longest. I'd find another employer, Z visa sponsor ASAP, sign new contract and start with WP application all over again. You might also try and find out at which office your employer applied for WP and speak to them (.gov) in person. They have at least one person there, who understands and speaks English. I'd say, your employer most likely never applied for anything. Employers in China must hold an authorization certificate to hire foreigners. If an employer doesn't have such an authorization, it cannot sponsor foreigner for a Working permit and Z visa.Most language schools in China don't have such an authorization, because it's a costly thing to obtain for one ...You could also ask your employer to show you a foreign hire authorization certificate. It's an A4 format paper with text in Mandarin and several red-ish ink stamps.I've always wanted to see an employer's foreign hire authorization before I've inked the new contract. That prevented many shady deals employers in China were/are playing. See this: https://english.www.gov.cn/services/liveandworkinchina There are two web links on the bottom. Send them a message and find out, if that Chinese state org. can advise and help you. Good luck! -- icnif77
