    there was only one salon in my area, and when i phoned to book it, I was told they no longer participate - so I rang the organisers and advised them - not sure if salon just couldn't be bothered atm or what - still, it's a nice find if you can find one (might find one somewhere else and make a day out of it though!)

    Exactly the same story as julieblake - I did get offered a 50% off a haircut, but at £46 fullprice I think I'll decline that offer :rotfl:

    Shame, but a good spot and hopefully some people will benefit.

    :mad: I have now tried all three salons nearest me. Two deny all knowledge of the offer and state they most definitely are not participating salons. The third accepts the voucher on condition that the customer pays £25.00 for a wash and blow-dry.:mad:

    Oh well, better luck next time.....maybe.

    Has anyone had any good results from this promotion?

    I got a letter from one of the salons near me inviting me to phone them for my free cut and blow dry and it also said there was a £50 surprise gift for me awaiting at the salon.I gave the voucher to my sister who has curly hair medium length and wanted to straighten it.I went with her to check salon.The staff was really really nice and it took the poor girl about an hour and a quarter to straighten hair but she made a lovely job of it and put loads of products on it.She then give my sister a booklet on which she ticked the products she had used on her hair.She then also give her her free prize:a £50 family photoshoot.We gave her a £5 tip.It was really worth it.I am waiting for my voucher now.

    Well,

    Me and the other 'arf are going to the hairdressers at 3pm today for our hair cut.

    I've also printed a third one in a different name to see if they will blow dry her hair in exchange for it.

    Thanks for this. Brill offer and well timed for me.

    Will let you all know if there are any problems.

    Btw I am in Essex.
