While I won’t go far as to attempt to cut my own hair, I did come up with a way to cut back on my expenses. I usually get a color and haircut every 6 weeks for around $90 w/tip. I started getting my hair professionally colored about 3 years ago because I was tired of my gray roots almost immediately appearing after I colored my own hair. Instead of getting the color and haircut every six weeks, I am going to hair cuttery and paying $24 w/tip every other 6 weeks. My color job is such that the gray blends in naturally and looks more like highlights, and I love “trim” I get at the Hair Cuttery. By alternating visits to the more expensive salon w/ Hair Cuttery, I figure this will save me around $200 per year and more if I can go beyond the six week time period. I could save even more if I forgo the blow dry – which I may do over the summer months!

Good job! I’ve done mine in the past until I get so tired of it I just have to go somewhere even if I use a chain $7.99 coupon. BTW, I like the way your blog looks. I think you just may need to add the color you’re missing and maybe you can find some graphics or take some photos to add. (A picture of your cut off pony tail with a $20 bill would have been fun.)

I cut my hair by myself all the time…just like you I’ll ask my son. Normally he gets to cut the pieces that aren’t even. My hair is so thick it costs too much to get it cut or colored. I use to have it colored but at $80 I’d rather buy all those diapers or groceries.
