Try At-Home Hairstyling
High maintenance: A weekly blowout (the New York City average is about $50) sets you back $200 a month and $2,400 a year—plus $600 in tips, so make that $3,000.
Low maintenance: Get yourself an easy cut so you can style your own hair! For wavy hair, dig up those old Velcro rollers (about $5 a pack at Amazon.com). Put your hair in rollers while you’re getting dressed for work, and a half-hour later, you have full, voluptuous body. Or, for straight hair, invest in a good flat iron (Chi Ceramic Flat Iron, $175 at Amazon.com), and have perfectly straight hair every single day for the fraction of the cost.
You save: $2,825 a year.
