Embracing backstreet hairdressers: forget stereotypes for budget-friendly styles
Upscale salons and high-profile stylists dominate the hairdressing scene, so the idea of visiting a backstreet hairdresser might raise eyebrows for some. However, I decided over two years ago to challenge the snobbish stereotype associated with these less prominent establishments and explore whether I might be missing out on hidden gems, all while considering the budget-friendly aspect.
Backstreet hairdressers often operate away from the glitz and glamour of busy main streets or commercial districts. While some may associate such locations with subpar services, it’s essential to recognise that many skilled and passionate hairstylists choose to work in these less conventional settings.
My initial reservations were rooted in snobbish attitudes towards backstreet hairdressers, often stemming from misconceptions about the quality of service, cleanliness, or professionalism. However, as I ventured beyond preconceived notions, I began to acknowledge …

£10 facial, £7 haircut – local colleges offer cheaper beauty and hair than high street salons
Well with party season around the corner…we have our first one on 8 November…eeks, I need to think of ways to look great without spending loads.
My last cut and colour was a staggering £91 (sharp intake of breath!). That has happened once and let’s just say, I have now switched to Casting Creme Gloss from Superdrug at £5 a pop, once a month for colour, but cut I really can’t do at home.
