I found a great untapped resource that will help your wallet during these tough economic times. Yes, beauty is pain, but beauty is also expensive! My great resource was my Internet Best Friend, AKA Craigslist . Although there are risks, Craigslist has successfully found almost all of my jobs, internships, my precious cat, roommates, and most of my apartments.

First I hit up Craigslist’s beauty section, and I was able to find a good handful of ads that needed Hair Models. I always thought that you needed to be a model in order to do these types of things, but turns out you don’t! Most of them ask that you do send a picture first, but I’m not sure how big of a deal it is. I decided to risk it and go to one, and they called me right away. When I came to my appointment, I was pleased to see that the salon was incredibly chic and gorgeous— definitely the most high end salon I’ve ever been to!

Turns out that the salon is Hiro Haraguchi’s salon in the Midtown East side. As you can see from that website, the amazing Vera Wang gets her hair done there! My hair stylist, Kristyn, told me that she gets the famous Magic Straight perm there–which costs $1300!!

The experience was simply devine. From the blanket that they offer you as you’re getting your hair washed, to the teas and people who hang your coats, I really felt a bit like royalty. My haircut turned out fabulous and it felt like a million dollars. Kristyn let me know that she normally charges $100 for her women’s haircuts but it’s totally worth it. This haircut (back in February) is still amazing to this day. On my last trim, the lady commented on how well the last person had cut my hair.

She gave me Farrah Fawcet-like waves and I loved it!

I’d love to say that I went out that day and partied with my new haircut, but I ended up falling asleep and watching Gossip Girl season 1 on dvd. :)

* I would definitely be careful in using Craigslist offers, (ahem, like don’t get a massage in a hotel with a stranger!) but when it’s done right—it’s awesome!

      Ahh is there an age requirement for this? And how did you apply? Your haircut looks amazing c:

        @ kt: I’m not sure about the age requirement, but I was just randomly surfing through Craigslist and emailed them. They didn’t ask me for an age but they did ask for a picture! Not sure what they’re looking for but it’s worth a shot! =) Definitely one of the best haircuts I’ve ever had!
