Don’t trust your partner with the scissors? Try these tips.
MODEL LOOKS: Find salons that want models. Toni & Guy wants volunteers in London and Manchester to get a cut from its supervised academy students at a fraction of the standard cost. You could get your hair cut from £10.
Also check out schemes run by the likes of Sassoon, Wella and Hob.
BACK TO SCHOOL: The London Hairdressing Academy offers discounted hair services when booking in with a student who wants to sharpen their skills. Prices for a wet cut (short hair) start from £5. Your local college might have its own beauty salon too, also offering cheap trims.
SWAP SHOP: Change it up now and then and switch to a new hairdresser, as you might get a new-customer discount. Also, steer clear of the big-name brands and try out smaller local businesses instead.
STYLE IT OUT: Save by opting for a newly qualified junior stylist at the salon, as opposed to a much pricier senior stylist.
DIG OUT A DEAL: Head to Groupon to find salons offering up to 70 per cent off. Also check out Wowcher and get 15 per cent off first orders when you book via vouchercodes.co.uk/wowcher.co.uk. Don’t forget to look for discounts when going through the Treatwell app, too.
HOME RUN: Search sites such as book Marketplace, Gumtree and the Nextdoor app for local mobile or freelance hairdressers who are happy to cut your hair in your own home.
