Piggy-backing on the post that I wrote yesterday about finding the perfect hairdresser, I wanted to take a moment to post a way to get VERY expensive hair services for a fraction of the price.
If you live in or near a major metropolitan area, you will probably find some of the upper crust salons. In order to stay on the cutting-edge of hair fashion they are ALWAYS training their stylists. Give them a call & make an appointment to be a Hair Model for training night.
