    There's not usually an option to do that for females Z, it's usually a minimum of £25. The staff all smelt strongly of cigarettes and alcohol

    Now you never know - that might just be because they get too close to their clientèle.

    OK, I am a snob and I hate the smell of cigarette smoke and the fact they'd made no effort to disguise it puzzled me...

    A. The probably can't smell it. Are you a ex-smoker BTW?
    B. Their clients probably come in smelling of it anyway, so what's the point?

    It's the old horses-for-courses bit.

    If they were "Toni and Guy" then you wouldn't be getting a haircut for £13... ;)

    Yes, I am an ex smoker but even when I did smoke I still didn't like smelling it off people:D.

    Just remember to check what prices they're paying for it and shop around.
