Free Bobs at Bumble & Bumble University - Model Call on June 28

Bumble & Bumble's Hair Model Project is quite famous for the free haircuts.    The cuts are completely free (no tipping) and are as good or better than the rather expensive ones that I'd gotten in NYC over the years.     The students are professionals -- they've years under their belt and they're studying specialized techniques to perfect their craft.  The teachers are excellent -- friendly, responsive, and they always seem to know how to make the haircut really work for you.   I've had their razor bobs, coloring and the short layers and I've always been quite happy with the results.

The hitch:  
To qualify for the cut, you have to undergo a model call. They'll check out your hair and see if you're a fit for the program.  There are a range of cuts: short layers, razor bob, long layers, etc.  They do coloring as well for certain types of cuts.

Also, the process takes longer than the usual haircut because it's a teaching class.   If you have time, it's worth doing not just for the free haircut but because it's interesting to see how the styles and techniques are taught/learned.  Once you're in the system, you can sign up for free haircuts every 4 months or so.

The next Bumble & Bumble Model Call for Razor Bobs will be on June 28 from 5:30 - 6:15 pm.
