Add to favoritesWith spring well under way, now’s a good time to change up your look a little, and one great way to do that is with a new hairstyle! The problem is that a good haircut can be a bit pricey; but don’t worry! We’re all about saving, and here are some tips to help you get gorgeous hair without spending too much.
- Get a student. Go to your local beauty school and have a student give you a haircut. Don’t be nervous- the students are well supervised and you’ll save a lot. You may even score a free haircut!
- Social media. Follow salons in your area so you’ll always know about promotions and specials.
- Discount sites. Check for coupons on discount sites like Groupon.
- Service swaps. Do you know someone who can cut hair? Try swapping a haircut for a batch of your famous chocolate chip cookies.
- Go for a longer style. Maintenance is still important to keep long hair looking healthy, but you can go a longer time between trims, which is a savings.
- Donate. Many salons will give you a free haircut when you donate your hair to Locks of Love or other organizations. There are guidelines for lengths and other considerations so check with your local salons.
- Be a hair model. Model in ads for a salon in exchange for a free haircut.
- Just the cut. Skip the shampoo and blow-dry, and save.
- Walk-in salons. These are generally less expensive than more upscale salons where you need an appointment.
