Skin Deep – Taking Hair Color Into Their Hands – NYTimes.com

Great article giving tips on how to save money by coloring hair yourself. I mean, that’s more expensive than a haircut. There’s a wide variety of colors, and you can call a customer service number for help and advice.

For more savings, use coupons to buy hair color that’s on sale or clearance. Occasionally, I’ve even gotten color for free when the coupon was more than the price of the color, when it was on clearance.

Another article regarding the recession and shopping. Note the quote that spending will never be the same again. I’m a little surprised that they did not mention Plato’s Closet, which is really popular for teens.
