Hair Cut

I used to have my hair cut at a local salon.  The price had gradually crept up over the years, to £45.00.

I really enjoyed going: the magazines; the head massage and the nice coffee.

However, my stylist, who is a lovely person, has left.

This got me thinking, together with my reinvigorated frugal fervour, that I should re-think my hair cut approach.

Thus I contacted a mobile hairdresser, whose name I saw advertised in the Post Office.  She charges £20.00.

When she was actually cutting it, I wasn't sure.  However, I have had so many positive reactions - far more than normal.  So, I am now quite pleased.

As I have my haircut approximately every 10 weeks, that is an annual saving of approximately £130.00.

Not bad.

Finally, a very warm welcome to my new follower: Kirsty.

Hair Cut

The last time I went to the hairdresser, my regular stylist had left.  I have been going to the same salon for a number of years and have been very happy there.

My last haircut cost £42.  [I never leave a tip, but always feel a bit guilty about it]  £42 seems like a lot of money, although if I went to a well known high street chain, such as Toni and Guy, I know I would pay even more.

Anyway, I have been thinking, and have decided that I am going to try out a mobile hairdresser.  I have started to ring round and have had a quote of £20.  However, I have another phone call to make, because a friend has specifically recommended the lady she uses.

Obviously, I want to be happy with the cut and finish.  However, if it works out I have calculated that I would be saving myself approximately £132 per year.
