Be Frugal and Fabulous with your Hairstyles

Think looking like a million bucks should cost you that? Well, only if you need as much plastic surgery as Tori Spelling. For the rest of us we can cut some corners while cutting our hair and save some money for more important things?like a great pair of shoes to go with your new haircut.

Cheap Blowouts

If you like to regularly get your hair blown out, or just need it styled for a special event but don?t want to shell out a wad of cash for a blow out try looking for cosmetology schools in your area. The senior students attending hairdressing school are usually only a month or so away from graduation and will have the skills to give you a great style.

Get Your Hair Cut by Top Salons for Free

I came across this great idea from stylist Louis Lacari at his blog. He suggests checking with top end salons in your area for their class nights. These nights are dedicated to giving the assistant stylists the practice to hone their skills. All the cutting is overseen by the salon?s experienced stylists so you needn?t worry about getting a shabby cut.

This is an awesome idea if you?ve been dying to score a hot hair cut from a star stylist but can?t afford their price tag. Many salon assistants extend their training by a year or longer under the tutelage of a specific stylist so getting your hair cut by their assistant is the next best thing to the real thing.
