1. Go to a beauty school for great prices. Most places have an instructor right there watching.
2. Buy clippers and cut your kids hair---or your own---I'm not brave enough.
3. Look for coupons
4. Try places like Cost Cutters that are cheaper than other salons.

Beware about getting a perm at the beauty schools - they messed up my moms hair.
I personally would prefer a professional to give me a perm. Even though it costs more.

This may not work in your town, but my friend told me that at ours the best time to get your hair done at a beauty school is during the day(during the week). The more experienced ones work during the day. And they are being taught all the latest styles and tricks.

Oh, and I save money by not getting haircuts. LOL. I am really bad about going in for a trim. It seems I get my hair cut once a year. I am really trying to get it cut more often. I just never know what style to pick. And the cost to color my hair at the salon is way too much.

I just posted last night about getting my hair done at a barber shop. The ladies do a fantastic job for $14. This time I got a color & cut for $30 plus tip!

A friend of mine told me today she paid $48 plus tip.......

I couldn't edit so I'm posting again.. it was $48 for just a haircut.

That price is about right in this neck of the woods, too. One way to save is to skip the blow dry and just go in for the cut...

I always go to the Hair Cuttery. I can get a haircut for $14! They are great there. Also I highlight my own hair.
