It's way cool! And it's helping you stay warm, ya, ya, that's it!

I let my daughter give me a haircut awhile back lol

Waiting for a a haircut will make it last that much longer

Yep! Sometimes those weeks stretch into months, and I either cut it myself or decide to grow it out.

I feel your pain - I have needed a haircut for two weeks! I keep short hair and I have had to resort to using a blow dryer and curling iron!!

Yes! This pay is one of them. We have 80 dollars till Wed. (pay day). Hope it lasts. I'm trying not to spend hardly anything. I don't want to tap savings for anything. For dinner I made cheesy corn and broccoli chowder from leftover broccoli, corn, and a few small wedges of cheese. Turned out pretty good. I guess things could be worse.

I am in a habit of saying "ok next week" to the haircut and then it gets to the point I cant stand it I will eventually get it cut..having planned to get it cut 2-3 weeks before.

Yup - been there! Now when I make my appointment, usually a month ahead, I put it on that next month's budget sheet so I know I either have to put money aside now or do without something else later. Seems to work so far!

you need a flowbee and you wouldn't EVER have this problem

[larabelle]

I know exactely where you are coming from and I empathize with you. I just gave up and decided to let mine grow out and I trim my ends myself. It is alot less trouble....but I spend more on conditioner, shampoo etc since it is long.

I sure know what you mean. I gave up trying to afford a haircut and went to trimming and cutting my own. Just takes lots of practice.

One reason my hair is long .. no one knows i haven't gotten a hair cut in over 2 years ... i cut my own bangs

My Mom would wait so long in between hair cuts and touch-ups that I talked her into getting a wig. She wears it all the time now.

Two weeks ago I was getting so aggravated, I kept thinking I would have enough $ to go to my favorite salon (it's 1 1/2 hours away). Things kept popping up like: birthdays at work, family birthdays, price increases at the grocery store causing more to go towards our food budget, and snowstorms (making the long drive to the salon impossible).

I finally gave up on the salon until spring when I can save more money and the weather improves. I actually went to a Super Cuts with a dollar off coupon. $11 for a hair cut and of course I tipped. Not bad though. This hair cut looks good and isn't much different from the one at the salon. I normally just get a trim anyways. I like the salon though because I have a favorite hair dresser and the hair washing is so relaxing. I didn't pay for any frills at Super Cuts. Then I came home and dyed my own hair with $6 box of hair dye (bought with a coupon) I sure felt better the next day at work! I was feeling depressed because my hair was looking so blah and ratty!

I hope you find a less expensive alternative to make sure you get a hair cut. It can make such a difference in confidence at work. I am not saying it's because of the hair, but this week I was told I was doing an amazing job, above and beyond what was asked at work and I was being considered for a raise
This is rare where I work. Whatever you can do to boost your self confidence can sometimes help you in the long run .
