Cheap Salon

Tired of paying 50 to 100 (or even more!) bucks for a basic hair cut? If you're looking to maintain your hair style, but get rid of damage, try going to a beauty school. Under the supervision of instructors, advanced cosmetology students can cut your hair. Most schools have full salon services, including nails, facials, waxing, makeup, etc. at very low prices (i.e. a haircut and blow dry at Marinello is about 11 bucks). Ok, so it sounds a little scary to get salon services from someone without a cosmetology license, but think of it this way...

...Remember when you and your girlfriends used to have slumber parties and you'd all give each other makeovers in the middle of the night while pigging out on junk food and watching late night TV? Well, think of the student as one of those girlfriends at a slumber party, but one who actually knows what she's doing. In other words, you be the student's live practice mannequin and she/he gives you the cut (or color, manicure, etc.) you want.

NOTE: It's best to get the school EARLY becuase these places get busy fast! Call ahead to see what times the advanced classes start (make sure it's a class where people can come get their hair done) and get there a little earlier than that time. Don't know where the nearest beauty school is? Google it (duh)!
