It came to national prominence during the Industrial Revolution as a manufacturing hub and the extensive network of canals is a testament to this era. Today, Birmingham is dominated by the financial and service industries. Like all cosmopolitan cities, Birmingham is home to plenty of hairdressers, and so there are salons to suit all tastes and stylistic needs. Eagle-eyed bargain hunters in need of a haircut will be pleased to know that many Birmingham venues are offering great discounts on Groupon. Whether it's a simple short back and sides or a brand new do you're after, you can find your new favourite hair stylist in Birmingham.
