Hiring a Student

I want to hire a student in Raleigh, NC to do the hair of my bridesmaids and the mothers.  The salon that is doing my hair is really expensive.  When I lived in Wilmington, there were a lot of private people who did wedding hair... I can't find a single individual in Raleigh.  Everyone works for a salon and has a $400-500 minimum.  My bridesmaids aren't rich, they have children and I do not want to ask them to spend $120 each to get their hair and make-up done.   I almost had Mitchell's Hair Academy lined up and then they called and said they forgot they had a charity haircutting event that day.  Does anyone know any other way to find a sole proprietor who will do their hair and make-up.  I'm hoping to keep it around $40-$60 per person for the hair and make-up combined.

  • As long as you aren't getting it cut, go for it. 
    I had a bad experience getting my hair cut by a student who was close to graduating. The teacher who was helping her said that she had done the haircut on several occasions before. Too bad they did it too short and I can only do 2 things with it. 
  • I don't know if you have any hair/cosmetology schools in that area but I am thinking of hiring them to do mine. They should be ALOT cheaper!
