Hi, not long moved to Leicester and in need if a trim, does anyone know of any cheaper salons? I 've ofteb gone on modelling evenings etc to get a cheap but nice cut, so wanting to find something similar,

Thanks in advance :-)

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.

Wow- the college is £2 for a cut!!! Omg! I should be abl to go a bit more regularly at that price (its been 7 months so looking a bit straggly!) Thank you all so much!!!

Kitten they so special days when they need models. Ive very long hair and it takes them agaes todo and I have a treatment first as well plus change from a fiver when ever ive been. If I could just get a babysitter more mine wouldnt resemeble a mop!

I called & booked in for in a fortnight! Ive got a level 3 cut for £4- absolutely bargainous and means I can leave a tip without feeling guilty about the spending ;-) thanks so much guys! X

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:

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 fab
