Bumble and Bumble Model Project

As you might have been able to guess, haircuts in New York can be pretty expensive.  So what's a poor college student like myself to do? Bumble and Bumble, a hair salon and hair product line, has what they call "Bumble and Bumble University" in the Meatpacking district where stylists who have been with Bumble and Bumble for at least 2 years (they may have been cutting hair at salons before that for many years) come for a 3 day refresher course, where they cut and dye hair.  

I got to be a hair model for them, which basically means that I get a really expensive haircut for free.  It was really easy, I just showed up for their hair model casting call, they checked out my hair, and scheduled me for an appointment.  I was nervous that I would really have no say in how my hair was cut, but they were super great and really were conscious of what I wanted, how short I wanted it, what kind of bangs I wanted, and that my hair was curly.  It was an awesome experience and I will totally be going back. In fact, next week I'm getting my hair dyed (for the first time. eek!) for free there too.

I forgot to take a picture of my hair or of my stylist who was this really great woman from California.  Anyways, I totally recommend it for those of you who are in New York.  They have a bunch of different hair styles that you can choose from.  My was the Razor Bob, which is just hair that's cut above the shoulder with a razor, which is apparently their signature style.  Pictures to come of my cut and color after I get it dyed. Blue.  Just kidding!
