Getting the MOST out of your visit to the Hair Salon!

I have been getting my hair cut at salons for many years now! My mom used to take me, so the price never really occurred to me, but now that I am *cough cough* an "adult" I have been paying for it! I can't believe how expensive it is to get a decent haircut! I have found a place where I currently spend the majority of my year. It is an Aveda Salon, and I have never received a bad cut yet. I have found one stylist in particular that I really love, so now when I make my appointments I always request her. One thing that I have noticed is that they always ask me if I would like a drink while I wait....but I always decline! I don't know why, I just always say "no thank you." After being told the cost of my last haircut, I decided that I need to get the most out of my visit to the salon. Here are my ideas:
1) Find the stylist you like, and stick with them! You will be comfortable with that person cutting your hair, because they know your hair and they know how you like it!
2) When they ask you if you would like a drink, accept! It won't cost you any money and it will take care of your thirst :)
3) If they ask you if you want it styled, accept! It won't cost much more, if any, and it will teach you how to style your new cut! So pay attention, and watch how they do it!

4) If you have bangs, listen up! Did you know that it only costs between $5 and $8 to get your bangs trimmed? Don't do what I have done so many times and try to trim your own bangs! Most of the time, they will not turn out how you want them to! Getting your bangs trimmed will keep them at the perfect length while you are in-between haircuts!

I hope that these little hints are helpful!
