Has anyone ever paid to have thier hair cut a beauty/hair cutting college or school?

Are they worth the money to pay for a haircut? What is the typical price for a haircut a beauty/hair cutting college? How good of a haircut would you get for$5?What are people's experinces been like getting your hair cut at places like this?Were they good or bad?Has anyone ever paid to have thier hair cut a beauty/hair cutting college or school?
My husband %26amp; I regularly have our hair done by a hair %26amp; beauty collage, the price can vary depending on what type of hair cut or style you want done. They also do a good job with hair dye, tips, perms, body waves etc.

The trainees usually do a very good job, and the trainers will check the style and cut before you leave, to ensure the cut or style is even etc. (I have only had 1 mediocre cut in the three years)

The only down side is it can take a bit longer to have hair cut and styled, but the lower cost off sets the time spent in the chair, you would be wise to make sure your car is parked into a long term park. It can take up to an 1- 1 1/2 hours, about 30-45 for a mens cut.

The beauty side is equally good, and the trainers will also check the end result. I have my eyebrows waxed at the hair %26amp; beauty collage too, and very pleased with the result.

I usually pay about $16 (Australian dollars) for a wash, cut and blow dry, my hubby pays about $11 for a wash and cut, if I went to a regular hair dresser I'd pay about $60 for mid length hair.

What's a good website that shows tips on African American Hair styles and beauty secrets?

It's so hard searching for good links. I specifically want to find a site that shows the best way to get moveable, bouncy straight hair, a la Beyonce in the ';Me Myself %26amp; I'; video. Any link (appropriate) will be helpful! Thanks :)What's a good website that shows tips on African American Hair styles and beauty secrets?
Well, if you are looking for the Beyonce bounce look no further than a good weave job! I checked out www.motionshair.com the other day and it had some pretty good tips as well as different styles based on the shape of your face. Seriously though, you are looking in vain if you are trying to get a look that is not truly theirs(Beyonce).What's a good website that shows tips on African American Hair styles and beauty secrets?
This is a really good one whether you have straight or curly or whatever style hair. You should ask for advice from your hairdresser.

Actually there's another one here that's better www.blackhairmedia.com/hairstyles.htm
You might want to try a lace front wig...that's what Bey had in the video. They're expensive but you'll get the look you're going for

Is it contraindicated to color your hair at beauty salon if you are pregnant?

yes, but they do have special dyes that can use on pregnant women. ask your stylist.Is it contraindicated to color your hair at beauty salon if you are pregnant?
As a Cosmetologist I know you may go ahead and color your hair. It would be fine. Sometimes pregnant women experience allergic reactions or the hair doesnt come out exactly the right color but these are rare. Just give it a try. Should be fine.Is it contraindicated to color your hair at beauty salon if you are pregnant?
i would wait
It is absolutely fine to colour your hair at a salon when you are pregnant, and no, we do not use special colour that are only for pregnant women. It is a myth that you cannot have it done, if anything, I am living proof, I worked full time hairstyling durring both of my pregnancies, and I had no complications, and 2 very healthy children.
it depends on what country you live in to as to what the recomendations are.

Im a colour tech and i have coloured plenty of women who are preggers.. the UK laws are that this is fine ....

however, you should be aware that there are some chemicals that are classed as being Carsongenic ( ie. known to be cancer causing / have a connection to cancer in certain conditions). your own body has lots of natural defences agaisnt things like these but it becomes a judgement call of your own as to whether you want to have these products applied directly to your skin where they can enter the blood stream and naturally that of the unborn child.

My understanding is that you would only need to be a bit concerend about this if you are having a full head colour with level 3 - permenant colour.

If the thought bothers you then you may want to swap to either a Quasi or veggie, or at least high lights or low lights for the term of your pregnancy.

Main thing is to keep this in perspective. In the modern day we are subject and open to lots of things that are bad for us, and our bodies are very good at defending us and looking after us.

If having your hair done makes you feel on top of the world that is going to out weigh any mild risk in my opinion.
It is fine to color your hair but I'd suggest wearing one of those medical masks as breathing in the fumes may make you nauseous and I wouldn't recommend getting your hair done without it.

How much should one tip(if one is supposed tip) when one has ones hair done at a Beauty School?

I had my hair colored and cut at a beauty school(total cost $17.50) and then tipped the person who did my hair $2 and was told by a co-worker afterward that I did not tip enoughHow much should one tip(if one is supposed tip) when one has ones hair done at a Beauty School?
When it comes to a beauty school, you should tip on what it would cost at a regular place. You're already saving money on the cut and color.

I'd say at least a $10 minimum if it was a couple of hours!

That being said, even if you wanted to just use the % rule, 15% is more than $2..it's almost $3. If they did a good job, 20%, which is about $4...and that's just tipping on what you paid, not what it's worth!How much should one tip(if one is supposed tip) when one has ones hair done at a Beauty School?
about 15% is OK

More importantly, were you satisfied with the service? Did you feel it was worth more than a $2 tip? If so, you should have tipped more. If not, let it go.

When it comes to tips, ';TIPS= to 'insure' proper service';

Can anyone give me some hair and beauty tips ?

Please...oh yeah and makeup tips would be fine too! Can anyone give me some hair and beauty tips ?
it depends on what you already look like now- post a pic and we'll give you tips!

I have a job interview for receptionist at hair/nail/beauty salon?

I don't have any experience as a receptionist, but I do think I'd be good at it.

Anyone know what I can say to impress them? (I used to use the phone a lot at my last job in a jewellery store, mainly calling in clients for jewellery repairs, or following up on potential clients to ask if they had any more questions on an engagement ring they were looking at)

Also, do you have any tips to give on being a better receptionist?I have a job interview for receptionist at hair/nail/beauty salon?
Being a receptionist at a hair salon can be grueling more than you think, also it depends on the size of the Salon as to what your duties are......you need to be able to make appointments because to them TIME IS MONEY, for the stylist,nail techs, and any other professionals that might be there,you will need to know approximately how long your stylist needs to preform a service such as a cut or color or curl or all the above at one appointment, for the nail tech you will need to know how long they need to preform a pedicure,or manicure,or polish, or set of nail enhancements or all the above at one time, and so on and so forth.

You will need to be famillar with the hair,nail and skin care products they may carry, this will come in time.

You need to have a very outgoing personality.

You need to know how to work a computer,these days most Salons have up to date computers for making change putting in addresses etc.

You need to be to know how to set up shelves and set products in shelves to sell.

You need to know how to sell the person on a product (especially if you make a commission on a sale)

You need to be able to count money,make change,clean toilets as well as clean the floor...yes I said toilets.

You need to know how to take inventory.

But something that will benifit you is %26gt;%26gt;%26gt;

Have fun, enjoy your job, and tell everyone they look MARVLOUS! when they leave lol!

Being a Salon reciptionist can be very fun and most of the things I mentioned will be learned on the job, it can be overwhelming but once you learn the ropes you might just love it.I have a job interview for receptionist at hair/nail/beauty salon?
smile! and make sure you hair and nails are nice
Be confident.

Let them know you are an organized individual with excellent people skills. You enjoy interacting with the public. You are inventive in creating procedures that streamline the day-to-day tasks.

And that you are excited to be challenged by the new position, and look forward to the opportunity.

I just went through 300 interviews over the past year, looking for the exact job i wanted, and i just got it... 3 days ago. Doing web design and development for a chain of radio stations.
Hun, your last job pretty much prepared you for being a receptionist. Some places also have you run errands and run the cash till.

Just reassure them that you are a quick study, you've had some experience in the field and that you love salons.

As for being a better receptionist, it just comes with time and is dependent upon what you do. Don't get too upset with angry customers, everyone has a bad day and sometimes you get yelled at for someone elses mistakes.
