dont mention that word on here! a number of the regular female posters (who will remain unamed) spend a fortune at the haidressers covering up theirs.
They are real blondes. Really

I have a hairdresser (ex-girlfriend of a mate) who comes round my house and cuts my hair for a tenner back home so haven't been for a haircut in a shop in years!

I wonder if I could expense it....

I wouldn't call it cheap. (20 quid that is)

Even by London standards. In Woking I used to pay 11.50 and thought it was a rip-off after paying 6.50 in Walsall.

Here I pay AED 35 but that includes a wash and dry and what's effectively a massage and a nice chat about geopolitics (the guy is Iraqi after all)

I really have no idea...I go for a cut about once a year and I am a do it yourself hairdye woman, so I am the cheapest one around I guess...

No matter how many times you say it I still don't fancy a head massage from an Iraqi guy, even if it is only a fiver!

I think in Toni & Guy in Reading you pay 35 or thereabouts so perhaps 20 quid is a bit cheap.

fair enough but if you convert everything to pounds then everything* is cheap!
