QUOTES:
Getting More Life From Broken Blush or Face Powder: Don't you hate it when your compact of face powder or blush cracks up and becomes unusable long before the product is gone? I have found a way to salvage it and save the money of buying a new one. Using a spoon or another implement, grind the remaining cosmetic into a fine powder. Add rubbing alcohol to make a paste. Spread it smoothly back into the container and let it dry. The alcohol evaporates quickly.

A Great Source for Saving on Salon Services: A good way to stretch your beauty shop dollars is to use a cosmetology school for haircuts, perms, color, nail care and skin care. I am fortunate to have one nearby, and they do an excellent job for a fraction of the price of a regular salon. I've never been disappointed. Everyone is friendly, and good service is a top priority.

Save Money and Your Hair: I went to Hollywood, CA, for a vacation several years ago. While there, I visited a salon to which the stars go. My hair was not in good shape then, and the stylist told me it was a build-up of shampoo and conditioner. He told me to mix hair conditioner and shampoo (half and half) with water. Shake each time you use it. It works and it has saved me a lot of money. I do not even have to wash my hair as often. Build-up was weighing my hair down, not oil. My hair is in great shape and I get compliments all the time. Penny from Dollar STretcher Tips
Cheaper Hair Coloring: If you color your hair, you can save money by purchasing the dye, developer and an applicator or two at a beauty supply store. You can buy the developer in large bottles, and the dyes can be purchased separately in small bottles like the ones that come in the kits. The application bottles have measurements on the side, making it easy to use just what you need (such as just half of a bottle of dye for touching up your temples and roots). The intense post-coloring conditioners are also available in large bottles. The cost is far less than a drugstore hair-coloring kit, especially if you color or touch up every four to six weeks.

Hair Care Advice From a Professional: As a retired hairdresser, I like professional hair care products. They are more expensive than you will find at Walmart, but they might not cost as much as you think. Most are concentrated, so you only need to use a little bit compared to what you may think. Also, they promote healthy hair. Watch for sales before Mother's Day, Easter or late summer (back-to-school). You will have healthier hair for about the same money you would spend on the lesser stuff.
