She's an amazing colorist, I've never gotten so many compliments on my hair in my life. She charged me $105 for all over color and cut and blow out.

I'm really happy with both the cut and the color. All told it was $125...which included a cut and blow out and MASSIVE amounts of dye for my hair which was super long and dry. She actually apologized for charging so much. Bang trims are also only $5! I just had my hair done by Kim who owns Hair in Greenpoint. I’m really happy with both the cut and the color.

Not at a cosmetology school, but at salons who are training new staff (who are done w/school and licensed by the state) to do things "their way," or from colorists who are learning new techniques, playing with new product lines or building their followings. Craigslist is helpful for finding these, but there's also this site: http://salonapprentice.com/newyork/chicago_no_log_in/ If you don’t work a 9 to 5 job, there are so many great free/low cost daytime options.

However, if you find a student who you like, he or she is able to book appointments for you to be with them specifically (this allows the students to "retain" customers but keeps things sort of on an even playing field so everyone gets practice.) I am currently 5 months into an 8 month licensing program in the city and can confidently say that I would let about 60% of my peers touch my hair with a chemical. There are some who I wouldn't even let come near me with scissors. I think arrojo services are the most expensive, but aveda and carsten institute are around $40 for a single process and $50-$90 for full or partial highlights. If anyone is interested in my services, I can provide a portfolio of both cuts, color and highlights as well as a price estimate for providing a service in the studio or in-home (I frequently take clients in my home or in theirs during the evenings.) Please contact me at cristinar.hair@gmail.com for more info or if anyone is looking for the scoop on the programs available in the city!
