This might be a long shot for this forum, but due to a flight change I am scrambling to get my hair cut and colored in Budapest on 8/22 or 8/23 before returning to the US for my sister’s wedding on 8/24. Any salon recommendations?! I am looking for a good quality, reputable salon; I usually go to an Aveda salon in Seattle, so I would be looking for something similar. Let me know if you have any leads!
I can't help, but have you tried asking your hotel's front desk or concierge?
If you see a local with nicely done hair, ask her where she gets it done.
Hopefully some hair care person can make time for you on short notice.
There is also an Expats in Budapest FB page that might offer some help if you ask.
The concierge at a high-end hotel is going to recommend a high-end salon, which will probably do a good job for you. There may be some language challenges, so it would be a great idea to take a written explanation of what you want.
I've gotten haircuts in Europe several times, including in Bulgaria. There have been no disasters. That said, coloring is not the same as cutting, I wasn't heading straight to a family wedding and I'm not picky about my hair.
