What’s the deal?
This month’s (August) Elle magazine comes with a voucher for a free hair cut, meaning you can get a cut and blow dry for just £3.30.
How to grab a free hairdo
First check that there’s a participating salon near you. Then buy the August issue of Elle and complete the coupon on page 174, as instructed.
Fill out the application form and send it, along with your receipt and an A5 S.A.E, to: The Hair Group/Elle, Unit F, Penfold Estate, Imperial Way, Watford, Herts.
Coupons must be received by 31 October 2007 and you’ll be contacted within 30 days by either the Hair Group to make an appointment.
Only one 'The Hair Group' voucher can be redeemed in any 12 month period.
Plus a free bikini!
The magazine also comes with a free bikini on the front cover, available in three colours -though its one-size-fits all! Not the highest quality fabric, but useful if you want a standby for you hols.

In this month's magazine there's a free bikini (one size fits all allegedly), plus a voucher for a free haircut at participating salons, and also a free body lotion.0

Hey all,
Does anyone know which London hairdressers are involved in this promotion?
Cheers!0 -
hmmmn, I wonder if this will work better than the Herbal Essence offer from which, 8 weeks later, I am still waiting for my voucher.
If I keep spending on the qualifying products I'll soon have paid for a haircut anyway:rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl:Stop looking for answers....
The most you can hope for are clues.....:)0 -
Hi, I did this the last time this was on an offer and had never used one before. I received a call from someone stating that I couldnt have a haircut, but I could have a reduced price massage????

How do I check there is a salon near me?Made it - 15 years married!! Finally!! xx:beer:0

To check on the salons click on the link in Martin's Money Tips weekly e-mail, to access a drop down menu.
Don't bother if you live in South Wales as there are 2 salons listed : Pontardulais (huge surprise) and Cardiff (no surprise at all).I can cook and sew, make flowers grow.0 -
You can find if you have a local hairdresser by clicking on the link in Martin's email - usually with this sort of thing there is nothing local to me but in this case there's a salon in town!! Shame I only got my hair cut last week.....!!0
-
I can't see any link other than to this page in Martin's email and no drop down box (how can you have a drop down box in an email?).
Can anyone help me out with finding if any participating salons are located in Nottingham?
Much appreciated (by the wife)
