I had a fantabulous day today. Well first off I received some encouraging words from the counselor I met up with at SCORE. Next I decided to see if I could get my unsightly hair turned into a beautiful work of art to boost my dismal self esteem since I have been looking a wreck these past few weeks. Anyway I decided to call Empire beauty school and see if they could squeeze me in..well of course today and tomorrow are almost impossible days because of the holidays. I lucked out because the receptionist told me to come on in a.s.a.p. So I hightailed my butt to Empire up in Exton PA and waited not even 10 minutes and a young girl took me to the back to start to work her magic. Okay some points I have to share cause this wonderful student really did her thing...she #1 had to untangle my hair (okay okay so I brush my hair always instead of comb it..well they say combing your hair is like giving yourself a haircut). Okay back to my story..true yes it is...#2 She took her time and asked how I was doing and so did her boss (great customer service!)..#3 She did a fabulous job! See for yourself
and #4 THE ENTIRE THING COST ONLY $28.00!!!!!!!!! Yes I said it cost $28.00. Oh yeah and plus a $5.00 tip to her for doing her magic so in total $33.00. Why am I sharing this..well because you can save money people! I mean look, I usually go to JCPenny and shell out like $80-$85 for my hair with my usual stylist. But since I'm launching my start-up and working part time I have to cut the expenses if you know where I'm coming from. So why not get similar results and save $57.00 You wonder how you can get up that extra $100+ or more to start that savings account for the kids...this is how. Empire also offers discounted services like pedicures, waxing, manicures, acrylic nail tips, eyebrows, color treatments, etc! It's called cutting back. Also my mom and I were just talking about how she used to shop always at various consignment shops to grab my baby clothes, etc. She managed to save a lot of money which helped me (since she also helped shell some funds towards my first home purchase). Well here's to saving more and Empire Beauty School and all the other beauty schools out there saving us ladies a ton of cash offering discounted cosmetology services!
