Consumers squeezing every penny in the credit crunch can benefit from a low cost haircut from students at Cornwall College in Pool.

Times may be hard but an increase in level two and three students means a bigger demand for customers. The college offers hair and beauty treatments at a discount price.

Clients can benefit from the reduced tariff for treatments offered by the salon and will be able to pamper themselves without breaking the bank. Welcome news in the current financial climate.

The salon's prices listed on their web site show a gents' cut from only £1.70 and more complex cuts, colours and treatments as real value for money.

Bobbi Northcott, head of hair and beauty said: "With more students than ever before studying hairdressing and beauty with us this year, we are looking to increase our client list. Our students need to experience dealing with real clients and techniques.

"The best way to do this is to have them carry out all of the treatments you would get in a commercial salon. They do this under the careful supervision of highly skilled and qualified tutors, who all have lengthy experience in the industry."
