Where to buy second hand stuff in Jakarta?

We have recently relocated to Jakarta and are looking for various household items such as a washing machine, garden furniture, sofas etc and just wondering if there are "garage" type sales for second hand items when people leave and move abroad? Many thanks

Do you have any suggestions on hair salons in Jakarta?

Good morning Lara and Tina. Do you have any suggestions on hair salons in Jakarta (I’m in south Jakarta but am happy to travel) who are expert in light blonde foils? I have been into dozens of hair salons and have seen some with dark blonde/light brown colouring but none that carry light blonde colouring. Many thanks, Ros F.

Hi Ros, I have used Roberto at Alfons salon for almost 13 years now.
 Please ask for him directly and tell him we sent you! http://whatsnewjakarta.com/content/detail/1047/Alfons-Salon

Dear Rose,

I have 2 blonde girlfriends and Ty both go to Nikki's  salon in Kemang raya. T. 021 7192917

It is owned by a Scottish woman and most expatriates go there. They speak English as well. And as Lara said I also recommend going to Alfons. Goodluck!

Hi, Where can I buy good quality cosmetics for Make-up Artistry please 
 Kind Regards, Susan D 

 -------------- 

 Tina: Dear Susan, The number one Make up in Indonesia that is famously being used on stage are PAC and Make up store. I attended a theatrical make up class sometime ago and they use this 2 brands, mostly PAC, as it's cheaper. You can get this brand in big department stores. 

 Lara: I also have received the same info that the Makeup Store is number one but also to try MAC ini Plaza Senayan and ask for Nita or Lelly. In PIM 2 MAC speak to TYA.

Where to buy bread making machines in Jakarta

Hi Lara & Tina Just wondering if it’s possible to buy bread making machines in Jakarta, & the bread mix that you use for them (easier to use breadmix than to put it all together separately)? 

I know it’s going to be hard to find the bread we like, so we’re thinking of making it ourselves. 
Thanks. Regards Debbie

Where to buy dishwasher in Jakarta

Hi All, I need your huge help. My boss is new in Jakarta and he is looking for dishwasher for his apartment. Could you help me to find some expats would like to moved out from Jakarta and willing to sell the dishwasher? Please help me and advise. You may call me at 0812-1051180. Thank you. Nila

 -------------

 Hi Nila, Dishwashers are not very common here.
 Most of us have domestic staff and they are not popular or on the market much.
 You can find one or two at Electronic City (http://www.electronic-city.com/) in SCBD or in Glodok. These are very expensive, however.

 I scrutinize the classified ads/Craig’s List often but have never seen one up for sale there.
 You can try to register there and check the ads at mary.a.wiley@uppercrustjakarta.com or contact admin@whatsnewjakarta.com or join FB buy and Sell page here https://www.facebook.com/groups/512824992134698/

Good luck!
