I confess I also nodded wisely at the naiveté of the £50 upper cut-off. A few years ago I was getting my hair done for £16 at the student union, and she was all right for medium length, but we both agreed it didn't suit me very well and the shorter the hair got, the more unmanageable it became until I more than doubled my haircut spend.
My current expensive hairdresser at least comes with "complimentary" head massage. A gimmick, I thought, but if I'd been a lesbian I'd have proposed to the woman on the basis of that massage! And my head smelled of lavender for days.
Mark another one down for "clearly this poll was written by a man" re. the £50 upper limit.
The head massage sounds like bliss!
I ticked every two to three months, which is indeed how often I mean to go, but in reality it is more like every three to four months at best, due to a collaboration of factors including dislike of phoning people to make appointments, general procrastination syndrome, frequency of not actually feeling up to it, difficulty of finding the time to go, even greater difficulty of managing to find someone to babymind at a time when appropriate appointment can be made, etc.
