Wellll...one of my gf's is a haridresser! She just finished school and JUST got a job @ a salon this week so now she can dye my hair too!

I never though I would until I went to a salon academy my friend was attending, so she could wax my eyebrows. I saw what the other students were doing in the hair department and most of it looked great.. and it's way cheaper!

I certainly don't have anything against it, I have just been going to the same hairdresser for 8 years now and the only time someone else has touched my hair was when she was on maternity leave.

Sara at Aveda is awesome!

I've been there for a trim or just a simple coloring. It's cheap and I'm not doing anything too drastic so it works out.

I have been to the Aveda Institute numerous times. I was overall very happy with the results, I have had cuts, color and highlighting. My main issue was it took a long time. What would normally take 1 to 1 1/2 took over 2 hours. They are understandably slower, plus they had to stop and have the instructors come over and check their work.
Their hours weren't very good, no nights and at the beginning no Saturdays. Plus once you find someone you like and continue to use, they graduate and leave, then you have to find someone all over again. It has its pros and cons.

All of the haircuts I get are from students. My best friend is studying to be a hairdresser and he usually does my hair - I'm always happy with it!

I've been to the Paul Mitchell School for cuts and color and it was really good and cheap. Just don't go if you're in a rush, because they take their time!

I always get cuts and hair setting (flat ironing) done from students, because they do a great job here in my hometown and the teachers always perfect it if there are any flaws (which there usually aren't). For color, I'd probably go elsewhere.

At Blaine's, many times.

I went once, when my brother was attending school. He lives an hour away from me and now teaches at beauty school. I'd go to him if I had the time!

Nope! I go even cheaper - I get my haircuts from the Institute of Mom. Or from friends at school. No money is exchanged, and my hair gets its trim. Ta-da!

Twice at Fred Segal's - the supervision was intense, the haircuts were great.

It's not that I wouldn't, it's just there are no good hair schools around here.

I really lucked out and got a great girl ( as opposed to the rest of the 19 year olds giggling and gossiping, not working) at my local school. She's still open-minded and does what I ask, and I will be so sad when she graduates in January. I am definitely following her to her first job when she does, though.

I always get student haircuts. I go to the Paul Mitchell school here in SF.

I go because these women and men need experience. They need to work with "black hair" or as they always say "coarse hair" though they rapidly discover that my hair isn't "coarse" just because my skin is brown.

And it took me 30 years to realize but MY HAIRS GROWS BACK FAST. So if any of them ever made any errors, it'll will rapidly disappear.

Plus the students are very conservative on their first cuts, monitored very tightly and listen to what you want better than many seasoned professionals.

I have told seasoned stylists "I do not like layers. My hair is to lightweight to maintain bangs so please don't cut any."

And they say "relax, I know what I'm doing. I've been doing hair for 20 years."

Yeah but not my hair. Then they try to turn me from the mirror and section off my hair to cut layers and bangs. Nope, I usually get up and leave about then and call the beauty school for a haircut.

Went to the Aveda salon in SF. I got a great haircut for $14. Just a trim though, nothing major. The student cut my hair and then a more advance student or supervisor, fixed any problems. If there were no one to fix it, I actually wouldn't come back.

I just did this last week for the first time. I went to a Paul Mitchell school because we just moved and I was not willing to shell over $60 to a hair stylist I did not know and for what is basically a little boy's hair cut.

I was fabulously impressed with the "Future Professional's" work (not student) and I plan on going back to her until she finishes school! Here's the final outcome - http://teamsugar.com/group/1745561/blog/2121856

i got my haircut at vidal sassoon and it turned out to be one my best haircuts ever. the students are very careful with their cutting, so i didn't have to worry about them messing up. and then the teacher comes and does the finishing touches. =D

i didnt even know this existed :S
i saw an aveda close to my home yesterday..i might go for a trim

we do each other's hair all the time in school! So I guess that means yes

Never have before, but I probably would.

I was a BBu hair model when I lived in NYC for three years. I miss it. Generally the caliber was good and they study your hair and determine what would look suitable for you, and you would earn free products! The one drawback would be how long it would take. I regretted never bringing a pillow for my butt while I was in the chair!

It's been a while since I had my hair cut at a beauty school, but I did have my hair highlighted at one just three weeks ago. She did a great job.

I've also been using them for aesthetic services, like peels and waxing.

When I was in graduate school I used to get my hair done at a hair school b/c it saved some cash. But now that I'm doing well, I would not go that route again.

yeahh, all the time! of course, that's only because my friend was a student who already graduated but has stiil not gotten her license - she's the only one I let touch my hair because I am so picky about how I want my hair and she does exactly what I want. plus she's one one of thosepeople who is just naturally talented - she has very good taste and is very creative, and I highly recommended her to everyone I know...

I cut my own hair, it's a lot easier. Every now and then I go to a salon but then I get fawned over because my hair is REALLY long and I get embarrassed.

I let a student cut my hair once and NEVER AGAIN. He totally mucked it up... He cut the layers on top in the back way shorter than I had asked for and it was all irregular and weird. I couldn't get that top layer into a ponytail for months and I ALWAYS wear my hair in a ponytail

i'm not quite sure that i would risk it...

i go to the paul mitchell school. they take awhile, but it's better than an expensive salon.
