It's Frugal Friday!
Just before Christmas I got my long hair cut and styled. It cost me $20. I was cringing at the thought of $20 every two months to keep this hair style up. But then a friend gave me a tip. There is a beauty school here that does haircuts for $2.00 on certain days of the week. I decided to give it a try. I am so pleased! I took photos in of how my hair was cut right after it had been done last time so they knew what to aim for. They did a wonderful job, all for $2 bucks.
If you have a beauty school near you, check it out. Maybe they offer a deal similar to this or at the very least they should offer hair cuts cheaper than your regualar salon would charge. Students do the cutting, but the instructors come around and give them advice on how to do it and then come back and fix anything that might need fixing when they are done. What's nice is that they try really hard to do it the way you want it done. So often when I go for a haircut where I pay more money (and I've tried many salons) I bring pictures of what I want, describe what I want and then the gal does her own thing and I walk out with something different than what I really wanted. It's so maddening. But at the beauty school, they are expected to try to do what the customer wants done. I like that.
