Rinse and Repeat

6 Reasons Why I Will Brave The Beauty School:

1. I can afford them.
2. Time is something I can waste on occasion.
3. I am so laid back about my hair, I don't mind if it isn't perfectly cut or quite the color I was hoping for, etc. when I come out.  If the cut is off, I can usually fix it myself.  If it's the color, oh well.
4.  I remember how much fun it was to practice on others when I went to  beauty school, and I tried my best.  I place that kind of faith in those students.  (But I always request a more advanced student.)
5. Even if they ruin my shirt (which I am smart enough having been there as a student to know, I wear grubbies) or dye my forehead (like this time) it isn't something that sends me over the edge upset.  In three days, I wont' have that line of hair dye.  I can live with it.
6.  I can also afford to take on of my girls in with me to get a manicure while I get my hair done, providing  us with some fun girly time and a chance to "spoil" ourselves a bit.

So when it comes to my hair, I usually cut it, then after 4 months I go to real stylist who is darn good and spendy, and walk out feeling like a million bucks, and then 4 months later hit the school again, to give a student a chance to create a masterpiece in their eyes, and my wallet thanks me.  Rinse and Repeat.

That's my pattern.

Well, that was Tuesday, and since then not one person has noticed my hair color or cut.  So I guess the student did a pretty decent job.  I love the color.  If no one else does, they can look away, right?

Am I the only one who braves the students to save a buck??

LOVE that you used "If they don't like it, they don't have to look" :) I think it's cute. I also don't spend much on haircuts. SuperCuts. $15. Works for me. Every now and then I will go to my actual hair chica..but for now, trying to save where I can :)

Ok, so what color was it before? I like it as it is. I'm thinking you went darker right? Sorry for not noticing yesterday.

i have never colored my hair. I want to grow gray gracefully. I cut my own hair for years. I permed my own hair for years and you will never see those pictures. I have cut del's hair for years. So maybe twice a year i go in and have mine cut. I think that i deserve that much.

I gotta try it! What school do you go to? Do you just call and get an appointment like any other salon? I have been wanting color FOREVER but have been too cheap to pay for it.

I think ya look great all the time, so your process is workin' for ya!

I've braved the beauty school before as well. I've had screw ups and great cuts from both beauty school students and the high end stylists. Kudos for saving the money and letting your girls come along for some fun!

Nice color!
