Hey Stella, may I add www.sallyexpress.com for those that don't have a Sallys near to them? Now if only they actually stocked half of what is available in the USA Sallys. I guess we will have to write them or something, because it's just so sad that US Sallys has everything, and over here we're struggling.

For real. I mean the stuff on their shelves are generally pathetic, but they have the two conditioners I like and that's Silk Elements and Rusk Smoother Leave in.

Germany here!!! This is my first post on this board, this sticky was what finally convinced me to subscribe. I have learnt so much, thanks for putting the sticky together, and thanks to everyone who has contributed so far. I'll be coming later with other the links I have found in Germany which have not been put up. Meanwhile....

benesse.de sells Aubrey Organics products

I am also working on putting together an English/German language website with information as I see a lot of mixed race and black kids here walking around with the equivalent of a birds nest on their heads. That cannot be good for their self-esteem.

Re: EU LADIES (NORWAY) - USEFUL INFO & LINKS

Would that I could! I confess to purchasing all of my specific haircare products either online (from the U.K. or U.S.), in Sweden (1/2-day shopping trip) or in Amsterdam.

Why? Selection and price.

For example:

-Castor Oil (clear) can only be purchased at the pharmacy here, and is sold in a 60 ml. (2 U.S. ounces) bottle for... $14.39 (U.S.D.) / £9.65 (GBP).

-Virgin Coconut Oil is only found at tiny health food shops, and is sold in a 500 ml. (16.9 U.S. ounces) jar for... $31.35 / £21.00.

- Aloe Vera Gel can be purchased at the pharmacy, personal care store or health food shop in a 120 ml. (4 U.S. ounces) tube (J/A/S/O/N-brand, only) for... $20.18 [$15.10 on sale] / £13.49 [£10.08 on sale].

Since these are personal care staples, I do "bite the bullet" and purchase them here as needed; however, I am sure to purchase greater quantities when I go to Sweden. :yep:

Re: EU LADIES (NORWAY) - USEFUL INFO & LINKS

This is not surprising given the cost of living in Norway :ohwell:

I suppose if you have any Swedish (or Skandinavian links) then that would be greatly appreciated for the sticky.

Also btw have you tried importing from countries like Estonia and Lithuania where everything is much cheaper?

Re: EU LADIES (NORWAY) - USEFUL INFO & LINKS

Re: Estonia and Lithuania - I don't read either language, so I would be hard pressed to locate online sources for such items. [OT: I did love(!) shopping and meandering in Vilnius, however! Beautiful yarns and exquisite polished stone bead selections. Many women there gathered into the large dedicated backroom of beadshops to sit at tables and string their just-purchased beads into jewelry. ]

If I come across any notable Scandinavian links, I will certainly alert you. Thanks for your efforts!

Don't forget about iherb!!
I get my Aubrey Organics ($9,25), Giovanni ($5,15), Jason Natural ($7,16), Chlorella (600x200mg) ($16.70)(uhmm, am I giving away my pj'ism? :look:) from here.

If you order under 3 pounds, International Airmail is only $4 and you don't have to pay taxes!
I live in the Netherlands and get my order within a week.
If you can't help yourself and buy in bulk, DHL goes pretty cheap via this site too.

I don't know if this counts as advertising and isn't allowed because it's my personal referral code (if it is, please tell me and I'll remove it from my post), but if you enter ICO381 in your first order, you get $5 off.

I love iherb. I just can't believe how affordable it is.


A great Dutch site is http://www.doeli.nl (english version http://www.doeli.com). Doeli sells products like Afroveda, Mixed Chicks, Curlformers, etc. and her service is great. :yep:
Once a few of my products were damaged and I wrote to her about that (I actually just wanted to thank her for supplying these products, but I mentioned it) and she transfered part of my payment back to me.
She ships to all of Europe and has a cute blog.

Hi ladies, I just wanted to give a small word of warning for one of the links provided - justbeautifully.co.uk.

I ordered from here first back in August 2008 (bought a professional hooded dryer) and my transcation was fine, no problems with delivery or with product and it still works great.
Based on the good service I bought a cordless flat iron for my sister for Christmas. Unfortunately it wasn't quite what she wanted so I returned it within the requested time... and that's when the trouble started.

They acknowledge receipt of goods returned on 11th January and yet today is 22nd March and I STILL have not received my refund back. :wallbash:
And every time I call I get fobbed off with vague answers as to what has happened and where my money is. I ask to speak to a manager and get told that there is not one on site, they're working from home so I ask for them to call me regarding this and no one calls back. I've been calling them at least twice a week since January and they just all seem completely clueless. I really don't know how long it's going to take for them to give me my money back so that's why I thought I'd warn you all to just be wary when ordering from this company.
