Surprise Haircuts (2)
Also, if you belong to the cage diving clan but don’t have any money, take your chances and visit a salon or beauty school that needs hair models for their students to train on. Actually, most of the time this is a pretty safe bet. And when you get it cut there, you might even get a free haircut!

Determine whether you have the financial means and time to ensure that you can maintain your new style successfully.
Keep in mind that if you decide to have your hair colored, you'll probably need to buy specialized shampoo, conditioner, and treatment. Once again, discuss this with your hairstylist to make sure you're both on the same page.
