Let's Make a Deal!


If there's one thing I love, it's getting a great deal. If you didn't already know this after reading my lauding of the Tanger Outlet mall in Deer Park, Long Island, now you can be sure. As was the case today, I got my hair cut... for $4.50. In New York City.

I'll give you a moment to pick up your jaw from the floor.

Yes, by opting to get my hair cut at a beauty school instead of a salon I saved a crap ton of money. Normally, it would have cost me around $9, but because it was my first visit, I received a 50 percent discount! This great deal was found at Empire Beauty School on 34th street. The entrance to the joint is a little sketchy and there is a somewhat limited window of time to get your hair done (11 am- 2:30pm and 5pm-7pm on week days), plus it takes a little longer since a student will be cutting your hair, but if you have the time it is SO worth the price. This is my second time getting my hair cut at a school and I would highly recommend it to anyone.

On top of it, the woman who cut my hair gave me a few suggestions on how to recover my curls. Could boing-ing joy be in my future?
