Beauty Breaks: looking great on a working girl's budget.

Too often find yourself in this predicament? Your regular cut and color is long overdue, yet you're short on cash. Blame it on your day job or your Dior Addict-ion; the bottom line is you need a break! How is a working girl to manage the (sometimes) hair-raising price of beauty?

Many top salons have training nights with discounted prices. During this time, the creative director supervises junior stylists while clients receive haircuts and color at a fraction of the normal cost. Not for the time crunched, these supervised services usually take longer than a regular visit.
