Salon Professional Haircut for Nothing or Almost Nothing

I must confess...  I used to get free haircuts and styles by the junior staff at Ted Gibson Salon.

 

The Ted Gibson Salon is located on 23^rd street and Fifth Avenue and a few stores down is the Starbucks that I worked @ during my college years. Because of this, most of the hairstylist and Ted Gibson himself would come to Starbucks and would offer my co-workers and I free haircuts and style. This is the biggest kept secret in NYC Salons; they offer a wide range of free services for the junior staff to practice with. The junior staff members from top salons are qualified, and very experienced; They are also supervised. I am not sure if Ted Gibson Salon still offers the free services but click this link for other salons like Aveda for a fraction of the price.

Note: I was very vocal about the style, cut and color that I wanted. The stylist will take that into consideration but ALWAYS ask what they have in mind BEFORE they start.
