I remember when I was in school and I moved from the pre-salon side to the senior salon side, where I was on the floor working on real clients. Because we were students, we were not allowed to get paid, but we were allowed to get tips. I did a perm on some lady's waist length hair. Being we were a school, salon prices were very cheap. It would have cost her $100 elsewhere for that perm but it only cost her $25 at my school. She was so happy with the job that I did, that she gave me $40! That was a good night for me.
