Hi lubecki
I go to the local college where they teach hairdesign. They always do a fabulous job, I've never had ANY problems, (the teacher supervises at all times).
The cut and all over colour costs me around �8.00. If it's an all over colour PLUS highlights its around �12.00 (not alot more than a tube of dye from the supermarket). This includes the wash n blow dry, cuppa coffee etc...just like a real salon.
If you have a college close by i'd say get in contact with them.
