Haircuts for the Cheap Ass

I love haircuts, putting all my trust into some stranger's hands. I recently told my friend Gardner (who is in hair school) that I had never received a bad haircut, he responded with, "That means you have, you're just not that picky." Thats the key to being a cheap ass bitch, you can't be too picky.

The bottom line, we all need haircuts and they can be expensive...if you don't know how to get them for free that is.... the cheap ass answer, Hair School!

Some good options:

Bumble & Bumble on 13th street, the one you see advertised in Time Out. Unfortunately you have to wait weeks/months to get an appointment there, and the people who are cutting hair are in a one week Bumble crash course, not the best haircut and AWKWARD conversations.

Bumble & Bumble up on 57th. These stylist constantly post on Craigslist, look under free and look up haircut and someone from that school will be looking for a model. These are full time Bumble students working their way to a place on the floor of the salon. Must be noted that they usually want a specific haircut, so you can't be picky!

Arojo Studios, yeah that guy from What Not to Wear, well I came across this hair cut sitting in a park one day. A stylist asked to cut my hair and $20 later I had a very professional new look. This one isn't free but for $20 haircuts and $30 coloring the price is still cheap.

There are many other hair school options and depending on what city you are in the selection varies. But check out you local Craigslist and don't be nervous to try something new!
