Half-Price Hairdo: Treat Yourself!
You’ve got your at-home hair care down to an art. Struggling with split ends? Check. Curling iron pro? Yup. Anything you can do with a flat iron, you nailed it… and ended up with a few scars to show for it! You might’ve even accidentally dyed a shirt while coloring your hair. It’s tough being thrifty, but you rose to the challenge. Well done!
How about a little treat for all that hard work? Maybe, it’s time for a professionally done hairstyle? Feels like a cheat, right? But hey, you deserve it, and here’s why:
Foremost, it’s totally fine to pamper yourself with a professional haircut once a year. At just around $25, you can certainly afford to let a professional handle your locks for once. No need for tutorials, makeshift hair salons in the neighbor’s garage, or niece experiments.
Still wondering if it’s worth those precious $25? Think about it–in going to a professional, you might learn a new trick or two. It’s similar to going to a fitness trainer to get in shape or joining a cooking class to bolster culinary skills. So, why not treat a visit to the hairstylist as a learning experience? Feel free to ask them about their techniques and for tips on maintaining your hair. They’d likely be amazed to know you haven’t been to a professional hairstylist in a year!
Plus, going to a salon is a great way to socialize. If you’re on a budget, chances are you’ve noticed your social life dwindling. Friends may not always be understanding, and that’s alright. Use your trip to the salon as an opportunity to meet others and learn more about your community.
Concerned about the leap? Research is your best bet. Find a salon that provides quality service at a price within your budget. Many salons attract new clients with free samples of their work. So test their skills first; maybe get a braid or have a portion of your hair straightened. It’s a little risky, but it’s a smart way to identify the best salon before spending that $25.
So, go ahead and treat yourself to that professional haircut–you’ve earned it!
