Ah, so, first off - I literally have no photos to go on so I'm aware this is going to be a challenging task. But I will do my best to describe them in the hope that I can find them!
I was in the hairdressers the other day and one lady was using a pair of gloves that seemed quite interesting and I'd love to do a glove review of them as they're a little bit 'different' from a standard pair that I review. I've never seen them before in the UK so I don't know if they're just a New Zealand thing. If they are, guess I need to act fast to buy a pair as I'm leaving the country soon!
So onto a brief description;
They seemed nice and lightweight but with a lovely and smooth black rubber, if I had to guess I would say they were somewhere in-between the thickness of a regular household glove and a disposable latex glove. It came out of a carton box, but they seemed to be re-usable as there were a little collection of them drying over the sink and the other hairdressers picked them up and re-used them between multiple clients, and they also seemed to be unlined as they had more smooth rubber on the inside. Nice and tight fitting too, with a rolled cuff.
I'm pretty sure that I saw some writing on the wrist of one of the gloves. I can't be certain as to what it said as it was around a week ago and I wasn't paying too much attention at the time thinking that they would be easy to find on google if I searched 'hairdressing gloves'. I now wish I had tried to look at the writing as I can't seem to find them anywhere. If I google hairdressing gloves for sale in New Zealand, I can only find disposable latex and nitrile varieties.
Anyway, here's to hoping that somebody on here may be able to point me in the right direction! (Or at least a similar brand!)

Re: Help with identifying some gloves
These are the only thing I could think of. They are not black in color. Though, I bet in the right light they could appear so. They also have writing on the wrist.

Re: Help with identifying some gloves
Thanks guys! Think they look most like the black pearl or Matador gloves. I'm 99% sure they were definitely a very dark black (though my memory could be deceiving me) so I'm guessing the black pearl are more likely. However, no harm in trying out both I guess

Re: Help with identifying some gloves
Another possibility - Sibel "Clean-All" ? These are totally smooth inside but have a slight roughend grip outside. Lovely gloves, like a strong surgical glove in weight, only drawback for me is they're ambidextrous - they don't come in left-right hand pairs, just two identical gloves that consequently don't fit quite as well as they otherwise might.
