I don't have much to add here as I actually popped in to get something for my wife - no she isn't…read moregoing to be sporting an afro or dreads soon, but she did want some pink hair dye picking up! They sell fake hair, wigs, have a beauty and hair section and all sorts of beauty products - you can tell from this description that I'm not massively up on this theme... This is the newer store after the previous one was destroyed by fire and it does look very modern and well laid out. The staff were very helpful guiding me straight to what I needed - a very easy visit, in and out!

Another hair shop! For a shop in the market The Hair Shop has an impressive shiny new façade which…read moreI'm sure attracts many customers. It stocks a wide variety of wigs and hair extensions, many made from 100% human hair. Like the several other shops of this type in Leeds they also stock false eyelashes, nails, makeup, nail varnish, hair accessories, curlers, hair products and hair styling electrical goods such as hair dryers, curlers and straighteners. Despite the vast array of hair related products to cram into limited space, the products are neatly displayed and allow for easy browsing. They are also reasonably cheap in price. Ladies (or gents) who aspire to have long, thick, luscious locks will love this place and are sure to find something to add to their mane!

The regeneration of Hulme in the late'80's and early '90's brought many invaluable businesses to…read morethis area and facing Hulme market, Afro World is one of them. I am a curly girl with tresses which vary from sleek and shiny on a good day, to a frizzy halo- depending on the weather. Although certain high street chains and chemists have woken up to the fact that yes, we are a multicultural Britain with a diverse population who have individual needs, their range of products for people of colour can be very limited. This is not a political rant, it is a cold, hard, consumer fact. Afro World is a saving grace and "limited" is not a word that applies here. Having entered its hallowed doors, you have never seen so many hair and skin products in your life! There are rows and rows stocking brands such as Soft n Free, Dark n Lovely, Ultra Sheen and Pink, to name but a few- seriously the shop sells hundreds of them. The name of this store is a tad misleading as this mecca also sells makes for European and Asian hair types. You can buy a good quality real hair wig for only £29, extensions, and curly or straight pony tails line the shelves and offer you the ability to alter your appearance every day of the week. Handy for Geminis or international spies. The owners really know their stock inside and out. This is an incredible talent, considering how many lines are sold there, and they are always on hand to give you help and advice. Not many men ( with the obvious exception of hairdressers) are able to discuss with you whether you suit a wavy weave or a head full of corn rows in a truly macho fashion. Afro World also sells a good range of make-up for Asian and Afro-Caribbean skin and various hair accessories . It is open Mon-Sat 9am-6pm and on Sunday from 11am-5pm. Be aware that the shop is closed for prayer on Fridays from 1.30-2.30pm. So if you fancy a wicked weave, exceptional extensions or just need to stock up on your Kirby grips then this shop has it all.

Wow! Check out the window display! I would have taken a photo regardless of requiring a pic for…read moreYelp! Endless lotions and potions are stacked tetris-style on shelf after shelf covering all the available window space and making your head spin with the seemingly infinite hair pampering options available! If you have afro hair and like to coax it into any style of your choosing then I can't imagine you could go away empty handed! They also sell hair dryers and styling tools, hair dye, wigs, weaves, clip in hair extensions and a huge range of hair accessories. On top of this they have a huge variety of body lotions and skin creams and a selection of makeup. It would be easy to feel pretty overwhelmed by the vast array of products on display, but the staff are helpful and friendly and will point you in the right direction. Sihala provides many products to be used by all women but specialises in a range of products for black people that would not be found in most high street cosmetics retailers, which often tend to overlook the specific needs of black customers. Go Sihala!

I do love this place.

Those who came/saw the pictures from the Alice in Wonderland themes blindfold tasting Elite Event at Lazy Lounge may recall the fantastic blonde wig I wore - so convincing was this piece that a few were sure I'd actually dyed my hair! (There's a shot in my profile images if you're curious.) Staff are very friendly, the prices great, and there's a boat load of other products for hair and such too. Have a browse, maybe you'll find something to reinvent yourself!

They have a huge variety to choose from so if you are looking for a wig or any kind of hair accessories then they are a great start. Also try, CC Hair and Beauty on Roundhay Road (who are worldwide and have a website) and the various outlets in the market who are the cheapest but maybe not the best in quality.

A large Boots Store on the upper level of Meadowhall, it has been refurbished recently, so the…read morestore does look a lot better now (It was quite a mess while the work was being done) There is a Pharmacy and an Opticians, the facilities are atypical of your regular Boots store. The staff seem friendly enough, but don't seem to stand out compared to other stores. While I do like the new look of the store which is different and innovative compared to other Boots locations, I do think the layout could have been clearer (Eg easier to find things) 4*

The self checkout lines go really fast.
