Hairdressing models/cheap haircuts

thesiren

I noticed a few threads about hair models but they seemed to be from quite a while ago, so I wanted to ask if anyone has recently got a cheap haircut as a hair model?

I saw an offer with Toni and Guy for a €25 ladies cut in their training academy, which is a fantastic price (particularly as that is the most I could afford), and I've read that their trainee stylists are already very good. Anyone know if this is the case?

I know a few of my friends used to go to a training place in Cork and they always got nice cuts and great colours. The students are very well supervised. The one thing they did say was it often took quite a long time as their work was checked really often.

Thanks very much. I'm based in Dublin but I assume because it is a 'chain' of hairdressers that it's the same in all branches. I don't mind about how long it takes to be honest, as long as it looks ok!

I've a sister who always goes to Toni and Guy training nights. Gets great colour and cuts but it does take ages.

Thanks very much - I don't mind how long it takes as long as they do a good job for a good price

Just a word of warning, make sure your voice explicit with the trainee and supervisor, got an awful cut once, the trainee did what I asked and the supervisor "tidied things up" and ruined my hair, I was livid.....
It looked like a boys hair cut with a few extensions hanging out from it

Thanks - I can't seem to find a good website for them online though so would be slightly more inclined to go for Toni & Guy as they do have a good detailed website.

I've a few friends who got to House of Colour training school on Wellington Quay and never heard a bad word about them.

Thanks very much. Do you know how much it costs? I can't seem to find anything online

Sorry I haven't a clue. You could ring and ask?

I always get mine done in the Robert Chambers academy on Liffey St, they've a branch on Grafton St too. I think it's about €23 for a cut. Always had a good experience, and the one time I didn't (hair was longer on one side) they fixed it for me no problem. It can take a long time though - I've sometimes been in and out in an hour with a more experienced stylist, but other times it's taken 2 - 3 hours. The student's work is checked regularly so you've nothing to worry about.

I remember walking past the Peter Marks training academy once and being invited in for a free haircut. Dems were the days :rolleyes:
