I get at least a trim every couple of months, at $20 a pop (so I guess I should have ticked "10," as you're working in pounds). And I don't bother with the fancy place; the no-appointment one will do (do you have the "Hair Cuttery" chain in Britain?).
Now for the confession: I love going for a haircut, and, if I were rich, I'd hit the hairdresser's every week just for the fun of having my hair washed by someone else (I really heard myself in the commenter above who swooned over that head massage). The fact is, I'm not someone who ordinarily fusses much over herself-- my usual routine is to wash my hair and let it air-dry while getting on with life-- so I'm happy to let myself enjoy being fussed over when the opportunity arises. Which means, yeah, that $20 includes the optional extra après-cut styling. Luckily, my curly locks can stand up to being moussed, blow-dried, hair-sprayed... the whole nine yards. (Remember 80s hair? I'd have it, if the 20-something beauticians at the shop could bring themselves to do it. Maybe they're afraid a spectacular do would show up the rest of my frumpy, middle-aged self!)
