This is one recommendation I am delighted to make - it is not tourism related - on the open forum

During my eighteen years in Mumbai, the only hair salon I used is Nalini Yasmin and I am so glad at their well deserved success!

Nalini & Yasmin. Puja Apts, 17th Rd, Off
Linking Rd, Khar W, Mumbai Phone : (022) 26844445 / 26203750

(I hope the phones haven't changed yet again)

look for places frequented by foreigners

Sarah, Indian hairdresses can do wonders to Indian hair but it may not mean that they know what to do to the fine non-Indian hair, how to give it texture, or how it would behave under chemical treatment... so my advice would be to check out Five Star international hotels for their hair saloons. This is based on my experience in Delhi, I suspect Mumbai would be similar, I have seen expats living in India but going to cut their hair in a hotel.

even there, my experience with Indian hairdressers was rather dispappointing (but I am loyal to one stylist in London so I am biased here) and I tried to wait for as long as I can before I submit my fine hair to a barber in India.
