When I was growing up we used to have a mobile hairdresser come to the house of an evening to cut the family’s hair. I didn’t think it was strange. We’d always done it. I couldn’t remember ever going to a salon. I didn’t, in fact, until my later teenage years. It was convenient for my parents’ busy lives. It was also cheaper, I expect. Snipit offer professional haircare and consultations in your own home. A Cut & Blow dry costs £15, a shampoo and set £8. They also offer perms and colour treatments. Styling in loose ringlets or elaborate up dos, for school proms and weddings is a particular speciality.
