There was an article in RedEye today about people “trimming” (hahaha-punny) their haircut budgets. African American women are choosing to forgo 100 dollar relaxing treatments and go au natural and other women are doing self trims. And then there is the gold coast residing “I just got a promotion” business lady who spends 300 buck on her hair cut. Seriously 300 bucks! In any economy that is ridiculous.
I have been known to be thrifty in my day. I even got my much coveted cole haan heels for 70% off. My hairs benefit from this thriftiness as well thanks to my recent discovery of salonapprentice.com (cred to viks on that one). Although the majority of these places are looking for people willing to make “dramatic” changes to their styles or people that are miraculously free on Mondays at 10:30 a.m., there are also a good chunk of apprentices at top salons who are offering 20 dollar hair cuts in 100 dollar salons.
Last Friday I gave my first apprentice a whirl and even if I had to endure some intense and almost painful small talk, I got a great hair cut with Aveda products for a mere 23 bucks. Even in the “big city” big deals are possible.
