I mentioned previously that I’d booked an appointment at a school for my next haircut & color, so thought I’d update on the results.

It turned out GREAT.

I’m extremely happy with it. The whole experience was interesting. The place was packed, and the stylists were crammed in there like sardines. That actually made it a very entertaining couple of hours, because there was always something to look at. I felt like I was at some high-end salon where people just beat down the doors to get in.

It also turns out that if you request a color, you are given one of the more experienced stylists — a stylist who is just about ready to graduate from the 10 month program, in fact. She did my hair exactly the way I wanted it: exact color, exact cut. It was also reassuring to look around the school and see that all the stylists had fabulous hair (because of course, they practice on each other too). That’s sure a switch from most hair places.

I will definitely be going back. The best part is that I can now get my hair done slightly more often (say maybe every 9 or 10 weeks) and STILL pay a lot less than I was paying before. Look better, pay less, while getting exactly what I want. What a deal.
