Free as my Hair, SACO Salon

2 weeks ago I got my hair cut, for free, by SACO Salon Academy. http://www.sacohair.com/ This is the 3rd time I've gone to them, mostly because it's free. The absolute best part of going to SACO is the staff treat you not just as a model, because I voluntarily let students hack off my hair, but as a client. They really do have all your interests at the base of business, they give cuts that suit your face shape and cater to what exactly you do not want. Richard Ashforth or one of the other amazing stylists watch over the students to make sure that they are learning proper procedure, SACO will not let you walk out of the salon with a head of hair that you hate.

So, I recently got my hair cut, while I was there I made an appointment to be a guinea pig for a colour course. I was at the academy for 5 hours and came out with a new hair colour.

I got my hair bleached and toned, I now have "Champagne" coloured hair with an ashy/purple fringe (Bangs for those of you in North America). The guy who coloured my hair was french and really funny, he teased that he was going to put a large chunk of ruby red in my hair. He thankfully was kidding, red is not my colour at all. It clashes too much with my already pinky/pale skin tone. The purple on my fringe makes the green in my eyes stand out, it is perfect. I am in complete love with my hair. I am also really glad that I didn't have to pay a lick for it and got it done, for my first time, by professionals.


The only thing that no one told me was how dry my scalp would be. Thank god I have a super moisturizing shampoo and conditioner. I can do so much more with my hair now that it has been killed.



I really do recommend this experience to everyone, just make sure you go to a really good academy.

Vidal Sassoon, SACO, Toni & Guy are a couple that I would trust to cut my hair. Look around and ask  different academies about their experts and students. You should not have to pay to be a model at these salons, if they ask you to pay as a model just look somewhere else.
