Louis Licari salon is a posh 5th Avenue spot with cuts usually beginning at $150. Even if I had that kind of money to spend on a haircut, it just seems so wasteful! Luckily, if you call 2 weeks ahead, you can sign up for their student cut classes on Monday/Tuesday evenings. Cuts are only $35! and I LOVE my new haircut! The students are certainly not amateurs. They are about to graduate and are supervised by a seasoned instructor who will come and fix anything you are unsatisfied with about your hair. My student had the instructor teach her a new framing technique and they went over it several times before she made a cut. My hair looks great and she gave me some blow drying tips too. This is a great way to get upscale haircuts for low scale prices. And I got lots of magazines to read and iced tea to drink. It was fun! Here's their site: http://www.louislicari.com/
