Haircut

I'm not really one for haircuts. It's generally all I can do to get it cut twice a year.
This time I decided to go to the Paul Mitchell school and let a student cut my hair.
Even though the process took a lot longer, since the instructor needs to check the students work, answer questions and demonstrate techniques, I actually enjoyed the experience. And I had my hair cut by a guy for the first time ever, so I cajoled him into taking an instagram photo with me. Haha.
Best $6 haircut ever.

  5. That haircut was $6? Are you kidding me, it looks like you spent $100! Props to him for his talent.

    It looks so cute on you, it's a great length and frames your face so nicely.

  6. can't beat a 6 dollar haircut!! It looks great and you really can't tell that it was cut by a student. I'd try going there but I'd feel guilty going anywhere else but my hairdresser. I love the floral with the stripes!

  11. Your hair looks awesome Lydia! I love beauty schools. I think a lot of people shy away from them because they are students, but as you say here, they are supervised. Yours turned out great!

    Thanks for the photo tips yesterday! I got a Canon Rebel T4I. I'm hoping it is something I will have forever and ever. Or at least for a very long time. I also didn't get the stock lens and upgraded to a Tamron 28-75 2.8 (I believe that's what it is). Now I just gotta get all the equipment. I've really loved playing with it so far though!

  12. Oh I love your shorter hair, I loved your long hair too but it's nice to be adventurous with hair, after all it will always grow back. I just cut my hair myself the other day! LOL I can't believe I did it, but I want the short layers to grow out without having to get a haircut, my hairstylist tends to cut a lot every time I see her.

  13. Your hair looks FAB!!! That IS the best $6 haircut! When I was in pharmacy school, I got my hair colored by a Paul Mitchell student. It was $20 for my length hair, and it was so good! I'm sure there are horror stories out there too, but it seems like you can also get really lucky!

    xo, sam 

    p.s. super cute outfit! love the stripes + floral!

  16. A $6 haircut never look so goooood! I would have never guessed a student did it. I'm glad that your haircutting experience was more than awesome, Lyddie! Your hair looks lovely. <3

    I really adore your collar/necklace combination, too! The colors work together so well. And there's those lovely earrings again--they really are such a nice little pop of blue.

  36. It looks soooo good ! the layers look really nice.
    I had about 2 inches cut a few days ago and since i don't have that much hair its always painful.
    But I padid 6 bucks too :)

  37. Generally I think the Paul Mitchell schools are really great. One of my good friends graduated from one of them. Now that I think of it, most of my stylists have actually been men.

    I would really like to have a $6 haircut. I guess I could always go to the Aveda Institute, but it still costs $30.

    I am really liking the jewelry and the floral and strips!

  39. Oh my goodness you look so cute! That student did a fab job! I had a terrible hair school haircut in 2006 that I'm still getting over. So glad that your experience was so much better!

  40. $6 haircut?! It looks so good! I like to go to a nice salon a couple times a year to get my hair cut, but it's so expensive that I just avoid cutting my hair at all the rest of the year. I should try visiting one of those hairdressing schools.

    I LOVE the stripes/floral layering going on here - it's so springy, and yet perfect for winter.
