How to Get a Free Haircut

Haircutters in training are required to complete hours of actual hands-on experience before getting certified, so it's not hard to find stylists willing to give you a free haircut in exchange for the practical training time you are offering them. They are supervised by a certified hairstylist so you don't have to worry about going in as a Marilyn Monroe type and coming out like a cartoon. Here's how to get a free haircut.

Difficulty: Moderately Easy

Instructions

1. If you are in or near New York city, call 866-7-BUMBLE to reach Bumble and Bumble hair salon and arrange for your free haircut.
   
   Also try Carsten Institute of Hair and Beauty at 212-675-7735.

2. In Chicago, Tirra Salon and Spa will cater to your free budget and give you a free consultation and cut if you call ahead to book. 312-951-8255 is their number.

3. If you are in San Francisco, call the Joseph Cozza salon. www.josephcozzasalon.com or call them at 415-433-3030 and set up your appointment.

4. If you are not near any of the major cities listed, make sure to visit the additional resources link at the end of this article for a variety of states with salons offering free haircuts.

Tips & Warnings

• Bring in photos to show your stylist so you can have the same idea in mind for you.
• If you don't live near one of the major cities and just need a trim, often going to a barber shop versus a salon and asking for a straight-forward trim will save you lots of money.
• The chinatown sections of major cities often offer haircuts at a fraction of the price that their city center competitors charge.
• Talk about your likes and dislikes openly so there are no surprises.

on 8/21/2008 While you are doing them a service by allowing them to get hands-on training, they are also doing you a service by cutting your hair, so take care of them with a nice tip! You still get the free haircut and you would tip at the salon anyway so you still walk out ahead!
