In my early twenties (I'm in my late twenties now... :-(), I used to change it every few months. Blonde highlights, light brown, pixie cut, long layers, bob - I've done it all. And now, I'm in boresville.
Chinese salons in Brooklyn charge very reasonable prices - about $10-20 for a haircut, sometimes even including wash and dry. I've had inconsistent results though. Their skill level is pretty basic; the tool of choice is usually that weird comb razor.
No bueno.
The guy at the salon I've been going to for the past year all of a sudden gave me a terrible haircut. Even for $15, that's the end of that. So I've been searching for a new salon. Most places in the neighborhoods around Sunset Park charge at least $50 for mediocre cuts. I've never paid that much for a haircut in my life and don't plan to start when I'm trying to get my frugalista on.
So, I consulted my friend Helene during our girl date a few nights ago. She recommended trying the free haircut nights at high end salons. Intriguing. Upon further research, I found -
- Bumble and Bumble University - You have to apply and wait for model calls.
- Frederic Fekkai Model - You're limited to one free service every three months. I have high hopes about this one since they got great reviews on Yelp.
Someone also recommended another local Chinese joint - her hair looks pretty good so this is promising. I signed up for both free services just in case though.
