Jase's Qype profile

Until recently the only place I got my hair cut in Birmingham was 'Supercuts'. This was only because it was fairly cheap but to be honest, I was rarely satisfied with the butchering my hair would recieve there. 'Jacks of London' is similar in price and if you are a student you can get a discount (on certain days) via the 'student beans' website. So far my experience of this place has been positive. With a plush interior, relaxed atmosphere and free beers even if you don't like the job they do on your hair you're likely to be in a good enough mood not to mind.

The Mailbox is Birmingham's sleek, up market version of the Bullring. With stores such as Harvey Nichols and a Nicky Clark salon it isn't for anyone on a budget. If you walk through the shopping center you exit into a stunning canalside square with various restaurants and bars. Well worth a visit even if you can't afford to buy anything!

Simply the best fish and chips in the area. Formerly award-winning fish and chip shop, 'Hooks', I was dubious when the place changed owners, name and decor but it still remains a great place to eat.

Hidden in a quiet back alley of Richmond town, 'The Lot' is a spacious, student friendly bar. It is cheap and being a 'scream bar' it runs the yellow card scheme. Sign up for one as you'll benefit from cheap drinks. The video jukebox is also well worth closer inspection.

This place was recommended to me so I was a little disappointed to find that the food was not particularly special. The 'all you can eat' buffet has got a great selection and it is reasonably priced so it's not all bad.

A great place to look for cheap, vintage clothing. A little on the small side however if you're prepared to dig around you can find some treasures.

Situated seconds away from a 'Subway', 'Philpotts' provides an up market alternative to the fast food garbage that passes for edible there. A little more expensive, but well worth the money. With all sorts of freshly cooked meats (not the plastic kind!) these really are gourmet sandwiches.

As the sole reason for me making it into college everyday, I owe much to this sandwich store. Being 10 minutes walk from Richmond College, 'The Munch Box' is renown amoung students for providing cheap, fast, friendly service and great custom made sandwiches.

A great place to rehearse, if a little expensive. As a music venue, it stands up, however the acts they choose to put on are sometimes questionable.

Being one of the biggest clubs in London, 'Oceana' in Kingston could be a great place for a night out. Unfortunately it is ruined by the ridiculous amount of what can only be described as 'chavs'. It's one redeeming quality is how cheap it is.
