Everyone has hair that needs to be cut every few months or so, but these days, a simple salon does not really exist anymore. The price of haircuts can be high, but there are ways that you can still get a great haircut for a lot less money:

#1. Cut your own hair with an at home kit.

There are many at home kits that are available to buy for around $30 to $40 dollars. With these kits, you can save a lot on the haircuts not only for yourself, but for every member of your family as well.

#2. Check out a beauty school.

Every major city has a beauty school, and when those students reach the rank of junior and senior, they are allowed to practice their skills on the general public. You can get such things as a haircut, a hair dye, facial, manicure, and pedicure, for a lot lower than a regular salon because you are truly helping students learn and get a chance to practice their skills before they graduate and go work for a salon or even open their own.

#3. Stay away from hair dryers and curling irons.

There are ways that you can damage your hair, which will require the damaged parts to be cut off. Anything involving heat like hair dryers, curling irons, and flat irons, can damage the hair to the point where it splits. After so many uses of these heat producing products, the hair may be so damaged that it has to be cut. By staying away from heat products, the hair will be healthier and need to be cut a lot less often.

#4. Use coupons for discounts on hair style.

Local hair salons may be in desperate need of getting customers, and may offer coupons that get printed in the newspaper, or may even have a special day where they offer discounts on things like haircuts and hair dying.

#5. Check online for coupons.

There are many major haircut chains that want to lure customers to them. Typically, when people find a great hair salon, they keep that salon for a very long time especially if they really like the way their hair style came out. Coupon websites can offer printable coupons from major haircut chains, and you can end up saving a certain percentage off of the haircut or a dollar amount.

#6. Consider donating your hair.

Cancer patients who are going through treatment end up losing their hair and need to wear a wig. The best wigs are made of real human hair, and it is from people who have donated it. People who donate their hair get a free haircut out of the deal, and wig makers get more human hair to make fashionable wigs.

#7. Consider being a hair model.

Hair models work with professional salons, and they are used to show off a variety of different style and hair colors.  If you do decide to become a hair model, you will be subjected to a lot of different styles and colors, which can be a lot of fun and give you a fresh look often.
