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.
