This Is Framingham

Ethan and both needed haircuts and I was always curious about what getting a haircut from a beauty school  would be like…AND they were having a special on haircuts for $5, so we went to get the Blaine experience.

Inside looks like a regular salon.  There is a reception area where we signed a form acknowledging that students would be performing the service and we waited for just a few minutes before we were shown to our chairs by the student hairdressers.

I kept telling Ethan “just tell them you only want a trim - they probably can’t mess that up”
I have to admit I was a little nervous when my hairdresser told me she just started cutting hair on “real people” last week but I figured it couldn’t be any worse than the haircut I tried to give myself a couple of weeks ago. So I threw caution to the wind and decided not to worry about it.
Both of our haircuts actually came out pretty nice and I’d say was well worth the $5.  The only downside is that (I’m guessing because they’re students) they’re VERY slow.  I just got a basic trim and had to pass on the included blow-dry because I was in the chair for 45 minutes and I had to get out after that long.  Ethan was in his chair for almost as long.  So I wouldn’t recommend going here before catching a movie or  planning on meeting someone.
I may try their $5.75 special on manicures another night. 

I can’t find their hours again on the webiste but I remember they’re open at night Tuesday-Friday until 9:30 and only take walk-ins at night.  If you’re curious, check outtheir site: http://www.blainebeautyschools.com
