I have a confession to make: I hate getting my hair done. Sitting still for 2+ hours while agreeing to pay a sizable 3-figure price tag isn’t something I enjoy. Consequently, it had been wayyy too long since I got my last haircut, and my ends were so dry and brittle that I couldn’t even run a Wet Brush (the best $13 brush ever made) through my hair without running into a copious amount of tangles. When Hair Cuttery reached out and offered to give me a fresh new spring look, I was immediately on board, since I can always get behind a $30 shampoo/cut/style package. Plus, Ashley Brooke and I were getting together afterwards to shoot blog photos, so having my hair done by a stylist beforehand didn’t sound too shabby.

Hair Cuttery is the largest family owned and operated chain of hair salons in the country, with nearly 900 company-owned locations on the East Coast, Midwest, and the New England area. As a full-service, value-priced salon, Hair Cuttery offers a full complement of cuts and styling, coloring, waxing, and texturizing services with no appointment necessary, as well as a full line of professional hair care products. I have long hair, so my entire shampoo/cut/style costed $35– however, if your hair meets their shorter length standard, you can get in and out with a fresh new hairstyle for $25. Keep reading for more about their exclusive Cibu product line, as well as full fringe outfit details. 

You can see in the picture above that my hair had unintentionally developed a peroxide ombre look from all my many months as a blonde, so we cut 2.5 inches of nastiness off the bottom, as well as added long layers to frame my face.

David, my stylist at the Tampa salon, used primarily Cibu products on me, and I was literally shocked by their efficacy. After my blow out, my hair felt voluminous, smooth, and frizz-free, which literally never happens anywhere in the state of Florida. Cibu is their salon-exclusive hair care brand, which is available in all Hair Cuttery salons. Perfected by 10,000 stylists and inspired by the wonders of nature, Cibu is a high performance professional hair care and styling line with color-safe formulas, offering affordable hair solutions for ever hair type.

And, of course, I couldn’t parade around Hyde Park with my new ‘do without a fun popover dress with fringe to match. It’s no secret that I have a thing for tassels, but oh my gosh, this dress is just precious, and it costs under $25. It also comes in two different colors– red and black. Scroll to the bottom for full outfit details.

Popover Dress: Target, $24.99 | Sandals: Target (Similar), $22.99 | Sunglasses: BP., $12 | Necklace: Banana Republic (On Sale!), $23

In conclusion, if you’re looking for an affordable hair styling option this spring, pop into your local Hair Cuttery to see what they’ve got going on! I was shocked by how talented my team was, and I would absolutely recommend them to anyone on or off a budget. Don’t forget– they do blowouts, too, so even if you’re hesitant to cut any length off, they can still style your hair for far less than a boutique blowout bar. Have you been into a salon lately? What did you think?
