Hair Ye, Hair Ye

Siren Salon Associate Program

Let’s review: Money doesn’t buy happiness and can’t buy love. Yet you expect a $250 haircut to yield miraculous returns.

We’d think by now you would have caught on.

Slowpokes and wishful thinkers, take note. Siren Salon’s associate program is proof that you don’t need big bucks to get good looks. Junior stylists vie for a year-long Siren apprenticeship, during which they shadow salon bigwigs and learn everything about cut, color, and treatments.

They’re looking for a few good heads to style. And they’ll do it on the cheap.

Don’t worry: Juniors aren’t given free rein with the scissors. They (and, more importantly, your hair) are under the supervision of a senior stylist throughout the cut or color. (You’ll feel like you have a team tending to your tresses.)

Haircuts cost $20; color will set you back $40.

But the results will leave you looking like a million.
