    I had one of these a couple of years ago. Ended up spending £200 on 20 prints....... They are very persuasive..
    me and my friends did the same - spent a small fortune between us

    think of it this way, even if you only come away with the free print you have both had your hair cut, styled, had your make up done AND had a fun day out all for less that £1.95!

    Only if you are successful at saying NO.
    Be aware that once you've had your hair, makeup and photos done professionally I can pretty much guarantee they'll be the best photos you've ever seen.
    I spent £200 and knocked them down on the day, but you don't get too many for that price.
    I don't regret it but I can afford it.
    Be careful if you are on a tight budget and can't really afford it because you WILL want them.

    Personally I don't think issuitable for a present but that's obviously jsut my opinion.
  • sent for 2 cut & finish ones
    my mum & her friend can have a treat all for £1.95!!!
    thank you!!

    I know i will love them but am prepared to spend a bit :)
    And like some one said above (sorry cant remember who!) if you pay in advance you can double your money on the day!
  • I ordered a photoshoot and paintballing, I didn't get a confirmation email through though (I've checked my junk!) and I forgot to make a note of the order confirmation number....Would my order have gone through?...or should I ring/email to check?

    I didn't get a confirmation email so called them to confirm - it had all gone through OK. They answer very fast - might be worth ringing to confirm!

  • I had one of these a couple of years ago. Ended up spending £200 on 20 prints....... They are very persuasive.. Went to the Manchester salon and ended up getting a parking ticket for going 2 minutes over my stay!

    A very expensive day in the end.

    Anyway i have ordered the hair cut and the deluxe photoshoot so i will be prepared to say NO!

    Tried to use TCB but i couldnt find the link to the freebies when i went through the TCB site

    Thanks for the post!

    hi I must admit we have been to New Id twice - on one visit me and mum went and we just had the complimentary prints and they were okay not over pushy accepted we wern't going to buy any and still spent time with us choosing the best print for complimentary one, we also went a second time and took my oldest, that time we spent £100 and came away with 5 photos - they were fantastic pictures and worth every penny but we did haggle I kept saying oh we can't affoard it although I would love that photo and in the end got a pretty good deal. - I have been to other studios who are much pushier.

    I have now got some money prepaid (as a present)...my worry is that they wont let me haggle now because in a way I have already given them my money lol....I will be happy with what I will get with the doubled prepaid amount though :)
