Many of us see a trip to the hair dressers as a treat and it is one of those things that often gets put off if money is tight. If you are looking for highlights or colour and a cut you can expect to pay in excess of £70 but when you split it over 6 – 8 weeks, it is not that much weekly.

If you miss appointments not only will you probably start to feel self conscious but will also risk your next appointment costing you much more. This is often the case with colours that could have just required a root touch up but with the missed appointment will now mean a full head of colour.

Ideally try to save the amount needed each week so when it comes to your appointment you have already got the money. You may find that you don’t miss it weekly but it is a big amount to fork out for in one go.
