Free Haircut from handbag.com

what a complete con, I sent a vocuher to The Hair Group about 4 months ago and heard nothing. I contacted them a few weeks back and they said they still hadn't got a hairdresser near to me (I live in Blackpool).

I contacted them today about this offer and they said the nearest hairdresser to me is North Wales?!

Total con and mis leading!

I had a good haircut from them but lots of people didn't get replies.
I suspect the salons are not under obligation, so will use it to "fill up" when they aren't busy. So again, don't hold your breath.

Their shops have a 'P' (for Pantene!) on the map when you key in your address, so I guess you pretty much have the street and if you need to research can see how many hairdressers are in it with loads of Pantene products, but I am not even getting the coupon when I try and print off at present.:rolleyes: It does say that if you include the address of your workplace (so that could mean say using an address in Central London and having you hair cut on a visit) on a separate piece of paper they will try and accommmodate you. It isn't a con, there are just so many people wanting a freebie of course but it is possible the salons mostly operate in particular cities. NB Have just found the coupon on the second print page, so off we go!

I've applied 3 times for this, only once got a haircut. I was very pleased with the one I had though.

My husband bought me a £30 "haircut experience" voucher from Boots for one of my Christmas presents last year and it was with this same group. I had to ring and chase it but once I did they gave me details of the salon and I rang and arranged an appointment for within a couple of weeks - apparently the salon did not know there was any difference between my paid for voucher and the free haircuts they offer. The haircut was lovely and I would have gone there again but even the junior stylist who did my hair charges £32.50 for a cut and finish which is out of my price range.

So, leave it the 60 days it mentions in the offer and then ring them and you should hopefully get things moving. Bear in mind that the salons get paid absolutely nothing for doing this (not even with my paid voucher!) as presumably it will possibly bring new business so if you are happy with your haircut then tip what you can afford (I gave her £5). These salons are top-end (mine was anyway) so the haircut should be a good one, even with a junior stylist.

I just wanted to report something positive about The Hair Group!

I sent off a Sainsbury's magazine offer for a half price hair cut a few months ago (so I can't get this one too - gutted!) and the salon rang within about 3 days. We made an appt straight away and I was in within the week. The hairdresser was excellent, the best I've had for a long while, and I'd happily go back to her again. Instead of getting a half price haircut though, it was free! (I didn't question it, just left rather quickly)

I suppose this is why they do it. When it works it's great! :T

Sorry, though, to all of you who haven't managed to get the deal.

I see that as more a positive about the salon themselves not the Hair Group. I have had three different salons in my city join up and ditch them as fast, a salon owner friend says she would get hooked in with themat all. I have been given a voucher via Buyagift and cant get my hair done at all locally.:rolleyes:

Also slightly unnerving is the salon owner I know says they dont put their top stylists on Hair Group clients, it will be a junior stylist maybe only having a few months experience, a bit of a con if its been bought as a gift by somebody rather than a freebie, though free or not you should surely think a salon would promo their service and maybe gain a potential customer.

I think there is. I found one in Sale (M33) using the link. HTH

Edit - Sorry to clarify.... Manchester isn't on the drop down list, but Cheshire is... and brings up the salon in Sale. : )
