Frugal Vanity: The $15 Haircut
| March 31, 2012 | Posted by under Health & Beauty |
I realized the other day that I need a haircut, badly. Mostly just a trim. I normally go to the hair school but it takes awhile for the students to do it. Generally, I like chatting with them and I don’t mind if it takes an hour to get a trim. Lately, I don’t have…
