Save or Splurge: Haircuts

By -
I have a lot of friends who cut their hair themselves. They usually look pretty cute. I also have several friends who stop in any quick, cheap haircut place for a cut. I've only seen a few problems with those cuts. However, I have trust issues when it comes to my hair.

I need several recommendations for a stylist before I try them. They have to work at a good salon (not a super pricey one, but one with a good reputation). My current stylist is a friend I've known for years, and her sister has very similar hair to mine. She knows how to cut curly hair and she never cuts off more hair than I ask.

It's not a super splurge, but I usually spend around $30-$35 for a haircut. It's more than worth it for me. Do you save or splurge on haircuts?

I definitely splurge, relative to my budget. After a year of natural, I finally managed to stomach the price of highlights for an appointment next week. For this price, these better be the best pieces of light hair I've ever SEEN. :)

I cut my own and have my mom trim the back, but now I want a stylish, modern cut. I'm thinking of going to the salon for the big chop and maintaining it myself.

i cut it myself! once a year or so i'll have a salon put in a few layers so it's not so heavy in back, at $35. but i can't stand paying for what i can do myself. i put it in pigtails, snip the ends off with a little bit of an angle (hopefully the right way?) and voila. of course mine's curlyish and that helps. and i also couldn't care less about having the right haircut ;) which is important to some!

I splurge a bit. But only because I went to a cheap place and they did a horrid job. After that fiasco finally grew out, I've been much more particular about who cuts my hair.

Splurge. It's definitely worth it to me because splurging is the only way I can have a decent wash-and-wear style.

I used to splurge ($120 a cut!) but have since switched to an Aveda-trained friend who does my hair in her kitchen for $20 and she does a great job!

splurge! $50-60 for a cut with nice layers and with a stylist who doesn't want to chop off all my long hair.

I wouldn't say it's a big splurge, but I spend $37 to get my hair cut. I love and trust my stylist and won't go to anyone else!

I just called the salon, and for $32 they'll cut my hair, touch up my makeup and give me a facial massage. Win!

What we looked like in 2009 Ten years ago I created, Fashion Me Fabulous, wrote up a handful of posts, picked a layout and send it all to my friend, Jael. “I’ve started a fashion blog. What do you think?” She gave me a few tips, wrote a couple “guest posts” and before long became my blogging partner. Together, we built a blog and community I could have never built alone. From the end of 2007 to the end of 2014, Fashion Me Fabulous ran regular content about fun, affordable fashion. Jael and I covered fashion week , reviewed fashion books , wrote about fashion history and did more shopping than seems humanly possible to search out the best clothes and accessories . We explored our personal styles , scoured Etsy for unique creations . I watched every single episode of Project Runway and blogged about it. Jael created an amazing presence on Polyvore . We learned all sorts of things about coding and websites and content and graphic design and so on. (You can tell if you look at ...

Dramatic Makeup

October is the perfect month for anyone who loves a dramatic look. Because of Halloween, you can get away with more in the makeup department than you can the rest of the year. You want to try false eyelashes? Go for it. You want to color your eyebrows? Do it. Color outside the lines with eyeshadow? Why not? Live it up so much in October that people will think black lipstick in November is practically normal.
