As my roll model advised, fed up with my own barnet I had a look around the African beauty shops in Brixton for an alternative. If you are looking to buy a wig, value for money and quality wise, you can't really get better than this area. A huge selection of shops with a variety of styles. After much trying on and playing with all of the wigs in the shop I walked out with a £30 real hair shaggy cut. Fabulous! It's great for when you just fancy a change or if you're having a bad hair day. I'd suggest coming in this shop with a friend. You can get a little carried away and end up walking out with a Tina Turner number if you take the fella behind the counters' advice.

I requested her to do it as it was not practical for me to do it myself as I was unable to see hair properly, she coldly said she won't do it, what if she cut my skin!! My whole skin was left sticky as they don't clean. When I was dressing up, she didn't leave the room and told me I have to rush.. how ill mannered is that...

Their eyebrow waxing is top-notch. You lay on a padded bed, listening to relaxing music while someone adjusts your eyebrows to beauteous perfection, all for less than a tenner. If you need your nether regions waxed too, they'll do it for a reasonable price. Unless you've got something seriously outrageous under your knickers, like a yet-to-be-discovered eco-system. Keep that to yourself. They also specialise in Guinot beauty treatments. Guinot is this French skincare company with really awesome (yet outrageously expensive) products. If you can't afford a full set of Guinot skin products (4 items is minimum £100 or more), get a facial. It won't set you back too much, they range from £25 to £50. OK, so maybe that's a bit pricey, but it's worth it. You'll be glowing so bright after you leave the place people may think you're some kind of spectre and ghost hunters will come after you in droves and you'll be featured in the next Twilight Zone. Or not...you'll just look hot. The service is fantastic. All of the ladies in here know you by name and they treat you like family. If you're a repeat customer they'll give you discounts and free samples from time to time. It's a lovely environment to get beautified.

Weavetabulous !…read more Maybe it's the prospect of changing my appearance with a flash of a new hair colour or best transformation of all a wig, which inject mystery into my visits to the hair shop. My latest weave palace is Catwalk in Brixton. This hidden gem nestled beneath a railway arch has everything a hair addict could ask for, except for decent customer service. I knew exactly what I was looking for, as I dived in a sea of hair. Human hair, artifical hair, hair in just about every colour of the rainbow. Wavy hair, straight hair, crimped hair and demi waved hair. Hair, hair and more hair everywhere! I was in heaven. I would have stayed there too, if my moment wasn't ruined by a very rude shop assistant. The hair I wanted was on a hanging shelf. Not a problem if the hanging shelf was actually within reach. I'm hardly a munchkin, but seriously that shelf was way too high! Nothing comes between this diva and a bargain, so I walked towards an assistant and asked him to get the hair down for me. I was met with a petulant reluctance, which I last remembered seeing in my friend's little boy; pressing his lips together firmly, as she tried to coax him to eat some vegetables. My non-helper, stomped over to where the hair was, and despite being at least 6 foot, even he had to stand on the step ladder to reach the hair. He was about to disappear, but I made him go back up the ladder to get me some more hair and then I thanked him. His response was to shrug his shoulders and stomp off. Catwalk isn't just about the hair! They sell other stuff - skincare, body lotions, hair oils...lots of things and before I forget cosmetics. Just a little tip though, don't buy your cosmetics (Iman and Sleek) here. The mark-up maybe great for Catwalk, but its pants for you ! Fortunately for Catwalk I am willing to overlook selective overpricing and dodgy customer service. Why ? Economics people! Just between us and let's keep it on the downlow (in case Catwalk raises them !), the price of the hair weave I'm devoted to (no I'm not telling you which!), is very reasonable indeed. Sometimes a diva's gotta compromise and take the rough with the smooth, to land a bargain !

So Catwalk provided me with plastic caps, gel, spray bottles, applicator bottles and a mixing bowl all under a tenner. The staff member knew I needed a basket and kindly handed me one. I don't live in a predominantly black area so it is a welcome relief to get all my supplies.

Seriously, I can't leave her in her without he coming out with bags full of new outfits. They also have an extensive home department upstairs with rugs, bedding and quirky lamps. As you walk up the stairs to the upper floors they have lists of celebs born in the area and what street they lived on. it's all very cool, very Brixton. It's a lovely shopping experience and if you love high street brands totally worth the visit.
