Hi, Just had a quick google, I had an idea that Leicester College provided this service.
I'm fairly sure its the Freemans Park Campus that you want. I say that as these now three sites (I think) and the Freemans Common ( as it used to be) was the hairdressing and beauty college.

There use to be a place over a video shop on Narborough (sp) Road that was part of the college and they did cheap cuts and colours but not sure if they are still there.
There is a hair dresser on new walk (corner of new walk by the job centre) that is always looking for models so that might be worth a look.There is a race of men that don't fit in; A race that can't stand still;
So they break the hearts of kith and kin, and roam the world at will.

This is very useful! I am relatively new to the Leics area myself and have always been curious as to if this was a possibility. :beer:0

It might be worth trying to cut it yourself if you have long hair, I just did the ponytail cut and it looks amazing, this after 18 months of not even a trim.
I am glad that you got a cheap appointment though and £4 is fabThere is a race of men that don't fit in; A race that can't stand still;
