Introduction
You have many options to save money at the hair salon. You can do something simple like clip coupons, or only use high-end salons for special occasions. Then there are do-it-yourself options like coloring your own hair and performing hair maintenance tasks like trimming bangs. Read on for helpful tips in saving money at the hair salon. -
Step 1: Use Coupons
The easiest way to save money at the hair salon is to use a coupon or discount. The major hair salon chains like Great Clips, Fantastic Sams, Cost Cutters, the Hair Cuttery, and Mastercuts, offer coupons from time to time. Independent salons also offer coupons, but these will be local to your area. High-priced salons generally do not offer coupons.You can find coupons in newspapers, in coupon circulars, and online. Coupons typically offer discounts, either dollar-off or percent-off, or offer a hair cut or perm at a sale price.

Step 2: Use High-End Salons Sparingly
Fancy, pricey salons can provide you with a terrific cut, style, and coloring. However, their services often come at a high price. Learn to use these high-end salons sparingly, and mix in low-priced hair cuts into your schedule. Save the high-end services for very special occasions, such as a wedding or anniversary. -
Step 3: Color Yourself
There are great products for hair coloring at home. Major products like L'Oreal, Clairol, Garnier Nutrisse, and Salon Selectives have good reputations and, if used correctly, can give a professional look and save you money too.When coloring yourself, it's important to follow a few guidelines:
- Don't change your natural color more than two shades, unless you've made large changes before
- Don't over dye your hair, it can lead to breakage around the hairline
- Use conditioning treatments that condition and repair your hair
- Use a towel or drape around your neck to prevent stains on skin, clothing, or the area around you
- Make sure you wash your hair before coloring
- A strand test, dying a few strands of hair to test the color, is a good idea before doing your whole head
If you don't have experience, you should not try to dye your eyebrows or eyelashes. The hair on eyebrows and eyelashes is less reactive to coloring, and will often not color properly. It's also dangerous to use coloring chemicals so close to the eyes.

Step 4: Toggle Between Shorter Cuts and Longer Styles
An interesting tactic in saving on salon visits is to choose a shorter cut initially. As the hair grows, you can simply do maintenance tasks yourself, such as trimming bangs. You'll toggle between shorter and longer hair, over a period of a few months. This way, you'll cut down on the number of visits to the salon, by half or more. -
Step 5: Visit Beauty Schools
Beauty schools offer highly-discounted haircuts from stylists-in-training. Of course, you're going to a non-professional, and your haircut quality will vary considerably. However, these student stylists are overseen by a teacher, who will help guide them as they cut your hair. Gross mistakes are often rare.It's best to test out your local beauty school with small trims, and if satisfied with that, move on to full haircuts. If you have a small trim and it doesn't turn out how you wanted it, you can always get a full haircut at a professional salon.
