I went to a unisex salon in the Elephant and Castle shopping centre and got a haircut and wash for £10. But I got free Spanish practice with a Colombian from Cali. Fernanda 020 7708 0307. Not as good or as cheap as my one in Cartagena nor was she as beautiful still ... The place is next door to the restaurant the Bodeguida (sp?).

el flaco says on Jun 2, 2008, 03:44: It's a business number not a private number. It's the number of the unisex salon which is shared by many hairdressers.
