How to Save Money at the Hair Salon

Tip: Save Money on Haircuts by Using Beauty Schools and New Salons
How Much Can You Save? $14 or more on your haircuts every six weeks

Everyone’s trying to think of new ways to save money. Where in your budget have you not cut your spending? You might want to consider saving money you spend for haircuts.

If you live close to a beauty school, check out the types of services they provide to the community. Keep in mind that the students need models to “practice on.” Don’t worry, though because their work is closely supervised by well-trained, experienced beauticians. If anything goes wrong, they will make good on your cut.

One local beauty academy offers cuts with a shampoo and blow-dry for $11.00. If you’re currently paying $25.00 for those same services, you would be able to save $14.00 every time you get those services at a beauty school. That’s over 50% savings. If you go to an even more expensive salon, you can save even more.

For men, a typical haircut runs at least $15.00. However, at a beauty school, you could pay as low as $8.00 for the same service. Again, that is a savings of almost 50% and can certainly add up over time.

Another option to save money on your haircuts is to seek out newly-opening salons in your area.

New salons typically have advertised specials and offer coupon savings to get people in the door to try their services. They will also bundle several high-value items into one low price. Watch your local newspaper for announcements and advertising for newly-opened hair salons who will be eagerly looking for clients so you can take advantage of reduced charges for haircuts.

Keep extra money in your pocket every six weeks by getting your haircuts at beauty schools and the newly opening salons in your local area, and have your spouse and kids to the same for their haircuts, and you will soon see the savings add up.
