How to get a $5 haircut EVERY time: Frugal Aussie reveals her secret
- Replies 17
This frugal woman has found the secret to getting cheap haircuts and colours - and it only costs her $5!
Sydney woman Claudia, 49, has shared how she's been scoring cheap haircuts and salon treatments for the past 20 years.
Her secret? She's been going to her local TAFE at Liverpool, NSW to get her hair done.
Claudia said that it saves her hundreds of dollars compared to getting her hair done at a professional salon.
"It's like my backup plan for when I don't have much money, and it's quite fun to do it and often introduces you to new things," the 49-year-old said.
Claudia claimed that recently got half a head of foils, a style cut, and a treatment for just $20 at her Tafe - a service that would have cost her upwards of $250 at a professional salon.
If you're looking to save some money on your haircuts, this could be the way to go!

For those of you who are looking to give this tip a go, Claudia said that there's one thing that you should remember: you need to have a more flexible schedule as the haircut and other treatments can only be done during class time.
Nonetheless, the 49-year-old said that she has always felt confident with the hairstyle that she's sporting after getting her TAFE haircut, noting that the students always deliver the desired result in the "same amount of time as the hairdressers at most expensive salons".
She explained: "I call and tell them what I'd like to have done, and they'll say something like, 'We do cuts and foils on a Tuesday, so you could come on that day next week."
Meanwhile, if you're looking for other beauty treatments or are just looking to pamper yourself on a budget, Claudia recommends looking no further than your local TAFE institute!
The 49-year-old shared the price list from the Liverpool institute, showing the rates of the services including men's haircuts, which are available for just $2, full-body massages for $10, and waxing for $5.
Brow and lash tinting and shaping are also offered for $15 - a steal compared to what you'd pay at a retail store.
Acrylic nails are also available for just $5, and you can enjoy an advanced 90-minute facial for just $30.
