So I'm @ the New York International School of Beauty, 8th Ave between 35th and 36th Street (www.nyibs.com). For $20 I'm getting my hair colored, styled and blown. And who said NY prices were high?
The catch is, I sort of signed my life away, allowing student beauticians to "learn" on my hair. My head, along with 15+ other dummies (severed plastic heads with real hair that is) are the center of attention. My girl, Ortencia, is happy to be working on me she said. I think she gets bonus points for working on a live head vs just following the class (tonight, they're doing cut and curls it seems).
While I'm waiting for my dye to kick in, Ortencia's teacher chats with her about how to spread my dye more evenly (in spanish, but I figured it out). Whoops! The severed head almost came off the stand that's clamped to her station!
Well, we'll see if the savings was worth it - 20 more minutes to go! :)
DONE! And I look GREAT! Thanks Ortencia, I'll see you in 4 weeks!
