During this great economy recession period, everyone is trying to save money. How can we cut down the cost of pampering our hair? Here we list the top ways you can save on your hair, and still look good.
1. T-section it
When you get your roots color touched up, consider having just your T-section (across the forehead and along your part) done. It may not be a permanent solution but it is enough to cover the most noticeable areas until you can afford the rest. Apply the same tip when you don't have time to spare at the salon.
2. Skip the treatment
Ever heard these words muttered by your hairdresser? "Sweetie, your hair needs a treatment. We can get it done in 10 minutes." The only thing she forgot to add is that, "And that'll be an extra $30." Don't wait until you're at the cashier to find this out. If they're charging for it, consider a home treatment instead.
3. Go junior
Most salons charge less if trainees cut or color your hair. It's true that having a less-experienced stylist can be a little nerve-racking, but if you're having a single, block, all-over color, or some simple foils it's pretty hard for them to mess up. Just bear in mind that all trainees are supervised.
4. Just say no
Don't feel obliged to buy the hair products your hairdresser recommends. They are not going to be offended if you say no, and you may be able to buy a on-the-counter brand for less. Some hairdressers receive commission, bonuses or incentives to sell these products to their clients. Just like they want you to re-book in six weeks' time to ensure you come back, it's a great way for them to make extra money.
